SUSAN'S . . . PLAYING AGAIN!

DAY OF DOLLS, JOEL AND FUN! Yesterday I met up with a a very talented artist and friend,  Joel Sharp and we played with dolls. Well... we weren't really playing with them, but rather  chopping them up. - Hey, ... I heard that shriek out there -  Recently I received some beautiful Japanese dolls from  my friend, Linda and have to admit I was a bit hesitant in  hacking away. But those scissors were calling me and Joel  is so fun. His imagination and creativity astounds me.  At this time my little babies are a work in progress, so will keep you updated. But for now, remember a person  really needs to play. And it's always more fun with two!

BARRIERS, PROTECTED HEART, HOLE IN MY HEART Okey, as you can see these are dolls and not girls. But not just ordinary dolls - oh no! There are deconstructed / reconstructed baby dolls. I started with used baby dolls which I dismembered (sorry everyone, but that's true). And these little girls were made by use of found slabs of wood, wire, a balsa box, tree bark, fabric, tail reflectors and rusted tin cans. Each is an unique piece of art that hangs on the wall. The three pictured are part of the collection in my exhibit Frayed, at San Diego's Ray Street Custom Framing + Gallery . The art can be viewed Tuesday through Saturdays from 11AM - 6PM. Additional information is provided on their site. Hope you stop bye for every doll needs love!
