This was the last of my mixed media frenzy while cleaning out the studio. These teacup junk jar dolls are made of old bottles filled with little bits of joy like cracker jack prizes, small toys, marbles, buttons, beads, snippets of cloth, jewelry parts and ETC! Then they are colored with alcohol inks and you can pretty much tell the rest. Old doll heads (from dolls worn out with love), vintage silver spoons for arms and lots of other fun accoutrements.
These are really cute! Does the alcohol inks stay on the glass permanently? I have very little experience with these inks, and only on paper. Great idea you have here! Now, I'm going to explore more of your site. Nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute. They are also a surprise, as they are so different from other things I have been seeing from you recently. Hug!

Have a Blessed Happy Fun
Creative Healthy Year!!!

Alcohol inks are pretty permanent, yes. They work on any non-porous surface. Look a little lower for the spoons--they are vividly colored with alcohol inks. I love them!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping you sculpted the heads (I am a part time doll and puppet maker, usually using polymer clay.) They are cute anyway. I spent forty years as a college theatre teacher and that automatically makes one a found object nut.)
ReplyDeleteoh my golly golly gosh. Loooooving these. TFS
ReplyDeleteThese are great - love the teacup bases and the way that you combine a variety of things to make something wonderful!
