These quirky dolls show a lot of personality. While they sort of look like root vegetables, they are sweet reminders of older men that we all know and love. A crotchety old neighbor, a beloved grandpa or a friend's dad. they are instantly and unconditionally likable.
I can't tell if i think this happy fish is cute or kinda gross. It certainly is a wonderful sculpt- it's making me miss my ceramics class from high school...
There is a weird obsession that almost all doll makers/collectors seem to have. Old, intricately made elizabethan costumes. Please notice the teeny tiny beaded details that fill up the entire outfit. The long elegant neckline replaces the collars of the day and the bright red accents bring contrast to the piece, making it more modern and compelling.
