One of my more demented creations...

Another eBay find, begging for a dignified end. A plea which I ignored. However, not wanting to play Dr. Moreau and create some sort of dolly abomination, I decided instead to make an "art" piece. What else could I do with a crazy-eyed doll head and an empty prescription bottle? Anyway, I had started out by making a Marilyn Monroe-ish blonde wig -- a sad cliché, but it was only priming the creative pump (it wasn't turning out well and forced me to think a little harder). I have no idea what inspired me to bandage the poor thing's noggin instead, but it borders on brilliance (much the same way that Iceland borders Great Britain...).



Here's a close-up of the unique, and probably illegal, counterfeit prescription label I made to finish the job.



The funny thing is, if you turn her upside down, her eyes change position. Sometimes she looks like a normal, well-adjusted doll. Like when I went to take her picture and wanted her to look loopy. So I had to jiggle her around a bit to get the desired expression. It was rough, but sometimes that's what an artist has to do.
