I’ve had to leave the square format behind for this, and the Crow Angel because of the size of the dolls.  Both came with the large job-lot of dolls I found on ebay for £25.  I have been stalking the pages of ebay since for such a bargain.  I am also looking for wings and skulls in hedgerows and so forth, but that’s another story.

Since discovering the power of silicone glue, I have been able to stick most things to most things.  Bisque feet to marble to wooden frame – no problem whatever.  The dolls arms are pinned here with the same type of dress-makers pins I used on the Giraffe Child’s back.  The text comes from good old Aurthur Mee – what would I do without him?

The shelves about the place are filling up with these objects I keep making – there are quite a few we haven’t yet photographed yet which will be posted up here in due course.  Posting work  has become part of my process and I have no idea who visits the site, but people do.  So hello, and thank you – it’s extremely nice to know I am not alone with my scalpel and cutting mat…
