Punked Junk

This junk (recycled once loved items) has been punked. All materials were recycled from items found at thrift shops, yard and estate sales except dor the adhesives. The cost is lower than newly aquired materials "made in China", monies stay here in the USA and the reincarnated dolls are very happy with their makeovers.

Blue Mood or Moody Blue

I'm in a blue mood today or I'm just moody blue I'm not really sure. It's the natural sequence of down time for my usual positiveness. If there is no rain you would never be graces with a stunning view of a rainbow so let the moody blues run their course knowing that a smile is just around the corner.

Christmas Decorations

I'm starting on my Christmas items, this shadow box has a special place to put that special ring inside it. A hand dyed wood shelf box with a drop down cabinet door.

Seller Blues

Is it just me or is everyone singing the "Seller Blues"? This little Ga Ga styled robot is hoping to be adopted by someone who loves glam with a bam, sizzle with a swizzle and bling with a swing.

She's not your everyday girl ... or Robot for that matter and she has brains, which are enclosed in glass at the back of her big beautiful Brown Eye. The Eye Robot is a unique gift for that unique fashionista friend.

As always I find the material pieces and let the creatures evolve. First I came across a bunch of never used little doll eyes at my favorite Thrift Museum. I checked around and found that they were probably from the 60's due to the packaging labels. Then I bought some cute tiny bottles and found that they fit to the back of the eye piece like it was meant to be. The "brains" are made by using pinkish red tint (brains are whitish but if you put them into a blender they bleed and it turns them pinkish red) and resins, beads, wires, varnishes, more tint and layer these allowing each layer to dry. I also toss in bits of fabric, threads, abalone chips, a sparkle or two and tiny odds and ends that litter my work space. The wire body worked perfectly because I loop the wire around the eye and on this piece you can tilt the eye for expression, reposition the hands and the angle of the eye or even take it out if you want then put it back in.

Absentminded Assemblage

I just began this little one without a clue as to what she wanted to be. I had on hand a white metal maniquin trinket that looked too lonely without a head...so I made a clay head. She didn't want just ordinary hair so I found bits and pieces, wire and fabric and told her Lady Gaga did it all the time. Her fashionista flair for dress wear is a little too off the wall for me but she IS the Boss you know and I just the hired help.

Dragon my Dragon

Don't you wish you had a pet Dragon? This piece made from recycled once loved items. The only thing new is the glue.

Wild One

I only use recycled items cleansed of all negative energies, of course. I was going to take a breather and move away from the doll thing for a while, but fate had it's own agenda and I found at a favored thrift store a huge bag of assorted dolls. Being one not to tempt fate I took the hint.

Eye Have Friends

This is three of a set of six I completed as a private order. Just a bunch of Eye Ball girls hanging out. I had some fun with these and though I only have brown eyes left will make more very soon.

Me and My Dog

My guardian Dog has a rider on his back with a skull head and they are my best friends. I love my new makeover of braided hair embellished with tiny wired in beads, crazy bright purple fashion styled suit and high boots stolen from some skinny Barbie chick. I carry a silver colored sword adorned with gem stones and my very own Finger Tazer, just point and click!
