Upcycled dolls

Imaginaries

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.

Baby dolls are already one of the most objectively creepy things on Earth–just ask anyone who’s spent a night in Aunt Jessica’s guest bedroom, surrounded by her army of dead-eyed, lacy minions. But leave it to the internet to come up with a way to make dolls even creepier: by turning doll’s heads into planters. […]

Don't toss out that rusty tricycle just yet—we've got great ideas on how to turn your old things into something awesome and new.
