now that I look closely, I think not caucasion, but more half caucasian half african. quite square-jawed but with a wide nose and full lips. Definitly not very asian at all. I think they were just trying to get by with using one mold for different doll races.
I've figured out where he goes... attached to my bedside table lamp. I'll need another for the other lamp. Maybe the white guy with the boxer shorts (did I mention the white man doll was dressed in boxers?). I can help him get in touch with his feminine side by dressing his feet in the pink ballerina slippers. And in his hand... a jewel! A jeweled ring!
Dashboard crowns? I'm not familiar with this at all. My goddess is finished, now I have to find some of that museum wax stuff to attach her. I had second thoughts on the hot glue idea. I can just picture her getting knocked loose and leaving a big puddle of non-reusable glue on the dash. In the light of day I realize one side of her eye makeup is a bit gloppy, but, oh well. Even a goddess doesn't always have a steady hand with the mascara wand.
The mask, the mask. Needs eyeballs! Suspended behind the openings. They have round wooden balls, I can paint them, drill holes, put a wire thru. The iris will be star-shaped. Or there can be multiple shapes, I can rotate the balls for different effects. Yes.

I take back the clown comment I do.
Or was that clowns, were they the kind with those wide grinning mouths or the round open ones,
Did I mention whether they had those WIDE OPen
expressive eyes, or those sinister slitted ones..
Oh gosh, I can't remember.I couldn't ever swing on a trapeze as my tuckus
would bring me to my knees.

There is a historical reason you may be aware of in your subconscious which could explain why clowns frighten you, and a lot of other people.

But i swear they only let him babysit 2 times. The removable but not funny red nose. The little honking horn...I hear a horn on a child's bike today and run for the hedges. Then the unicycle...
Now back to sequins, fluffy feet and sick little beheaded dolls that are now getting eyes which will send me over the edge.
Tabitha- please put "Trigger" on your next one if we're talkin' eyes...

In reply to I was teasing Kar.., posted by gabbix2 on July 29, 2003, at 22:05:09
and I'm really having some strange impulse to make art out of dolls and doll parts.
No kidding!
Now if I mention care bears you'll think it's a joke... but if I go to the BurningMan festival my camp theme is going to be the Care Bears and Fluffy Bunnies camp. It's all going to be cliche happy imagery. Rainbows, flowers, suns, and cute cuddly baby animals painted on my shade structure and arranged on my camp lawn.
I told a friend I was going to attach stuffed animals on stakes around the perimeter of my camp, and he thought I meant stabbed through their hearts (maybe with fake blood?) and I couldn't convince him I meant no, just arranged nicely.
It's all about,, how much happiness and innocence can you stand without squirming? Can you (the viewer) actually let yourself respond to the happiness and innocence imagery? What happens if you try? Where did that come from?

That is really interesting. I mean that in all sincerity, its really interesting. Its making me think. I like thinking.
One of my favorite things
that my ex broke accidentally was a small shoe covered in red glitter. I keep looking for another but I can't find one

a man broke your small red glittery shoe? Now there was bad omen.
Once a friend broke my number 13 welders filter that I had purchased at an industrial supply company especially for safe viewing of a solar eclipse. our relationship soured from that point. What can I say? I just get attached to things, especially odd and unique things. And he didn't even volunteer to replace it! Oh, the burn. Every time there's an eclipse I miss it.

Its true, he broke all but one of my favorite little things, and yet they were all as you said "oddball" things, and not expensive so he never would have known they were favorites, and it was always an accident.
He ended up being a terrible abuser, though he wasn't at that time. I don't claim to know how the universe works, but I can't help but think it was trying to tell me something early on.

>I don't claim to know how the universe works,
Ha! I hear this from you at least every other day. "Kar, this is how the universe works..." blah blah blah
I really don't know what to think anymore. Waitaminute! You said you don't "claim" to know...maybe you just THINK you know or KNOW you know.
Cuz you're like that.
You know.

Rhinestones in my eyes can make me cry...

Well I really do hate to sound condescending T, but it burns because you're not supposed to be staring at the sun without the glasses.
Come on, now!

I release this thread to the irrepressible energy of silliness! I'll find somewhere else to talk about artistic impulses. But I thought someone posted an idea of a faux marble thing surrounded by male dolls of various races, making offerings. Now I can't find that post. Did I dream it?
It's a great notion.. since the dolls are small and we are large, we'd feel like a goddess with the tiny worshippers at our feet.
I told my therp this idea (well about the lamps actually, with the male dolls making offerings) and said I'd feel like their princess. And she looked at me quizzically and said 'their princess'? Like there was something odd or unhealthy about craving a little worship. Or did I misinterpret?
Oh, I said I'd give up on this thread, but here I am, going on and on...

Tabitha, I am, that was inexcusably rude.
and you were unfailingly polite in pointing out what happened. I think it was the insomnia.

Oh no, did I shame you into apologizing? I hope not. If it weren't for you and Kar the topic probably would have died from lack of interest anyway. I still love you. Kar too.
Group hug?

Tabitha,
You are one interesting person. Certainly in touch with your inner.... inner something. :) Think I'll do a search for all your posts.
Impressed,
KDi in Texas> impulses in the craft store.
>
> I wandered thru the craft store for an hour or so, and got some odd stuff that just HAD to go together. In the doll aisle, I got this 15 inch 'native american man' doll. His features are totally caucasian, but he's brownish and has long luxurious black hair, a suede-like loincloth, and a kit to make beaded jewelry. He now sports a pair of bunny slippers, also from the doll aisle. He's dreamy.
>
> Also got... a porcelain doll head and hands, which I'm going to hot-glue to my dashboard, with some embellishments, to create a dashboard angel.
>
> Also... a couple plastic mask forms, and lots of sparkly stuff to decorate them. Glitter glue, rhinestones, and sparkle pipecleaners for hair. And tiny green pompoms.
>
> I really wanted to find a classic paint-by-numbers kit. You know, with little oil paints in a tray. Something like the last supper, or the old fisherman. I could add googly eyes to it. But drat, they didn't have any.

Gosh, I'm blushing.
Inner.. 'something' is right. I'm in high spirits lately, just hoping it's not another moodswing. Well it is, but doesn't feel like a dangerous one.
It's fun to look up a person's whole set of posts isn't it? Like reading their journal. I know I did that for some posters.. but I'd be too shy to tell them!
