Clair and Rebecca..
The Hip Sisters. This months challenge for my Art Dolls Only group was 'Side Show Circus'. I was hoping to do a clay doll but being away from my tools meant I had to change tact. So with little time to spare as the deadline approached I decided to hand sew a little Siamese twin. My partner sent over some calico and thread. Andrew if you read this but sorry one of your pillows was donated to making art....pillow stuffing for her inners. I found some rusty old nails for her lags. I also found and striped some electric cable for her hair....it was copper so I painted it black.
The stand was found too. I covered it with tissue paper, then wood burnt the stripes, glazed it with yellow and white paint. The whole stand was then coated in wax.
I don't have names for her yet...any suggestions!.....well I'm off for a walk!

Definitely Tasmanian! (Two heads and all) Gorgeous, too.
Strangley enough, "Rebecca and Mallory" popped into my head as soon as I saw the cute little Hip Sisters.
I think Rebecca would be the sister on the left, and Mallory would be the sister on the right :)
I love their painted faces.

I love a bit of siamese twin action! It's really funny because I'm working on a Sideshow thing for HiiRagi, maybe when it's finished we can have a battle of the freaky toys!!!!!Love from your Arch Nemesis...
I love them...they have such sweet faces.
Hello everyone!! thank you for your comments yet again...sorry for not visiting your blogs and leaving comments but I think I've said before that my laptop crashes unpredictably and modem speed is slow. I think it's run by possum poo.
Thank you Jess and Kelsey for the name suggestions! I think I like one from Clair and Rebecca!
