Evolution of the Doll!


This Week's Doll Star - Homicide!

Catchy title eh?

Base Artist: Dyane

Artist Background: In a word, nuts. Not really, but her work is totally out there (in a good way). Dyane is a painter and educator and has been known to destroy helpless stuffed animals in the name of art every now and again.

Base Round: Another liberal interpretation of the doll base idea...to say the least!

Round One: LadyLinoleum

Evolutionary Change: Never, ever ride a scooter sans shoes. Wait! Never, ever ride a scooter sans ruby slippers! I was going through an Oz phase. Actually, I am still going through an Oz phase because one cannot have enough wonderful wizardry as part of daily life.

I painted the inside of the shoes with the infamous green babe's nefarious message from the MGM 1939 classic. The shoes warn, "Surrender Dorothy".

Round Two: Lena Linoleum

Evolutionary Change: My progeny, the creative genius that she is, decided to add a hat and two adorable green Sculpey feet to the doll on the go!

Round Three: Stevie

Evolutionary Change: WWW A.D. = Wicked Witch of the West After Dorothy! Yep, she's a pile of goo due to the H2O shower.

Round Four: Janet

Evolutionary Change: Glass spider in her web with the acquired green Sculpey feet! (I don't have a detail of this addition, but you can see the web on the handlebars if you look closely.)

Round Five: Jonna

Evolutionary Change: Working from my progeny's paper hat as a model, Jonna constructed a proper witchy chapeau.

Round Six: Bea

Evolutionary Change: Afterall, our victim was not found naked!

Round Seven: Laurel

Evolutionary Change: We've found the murder weapon Watson...

Round Eight: Stacey

Evolutionary Change: Okay everyone, a one, and a two...Some-where over the rain-bow...okay, you catch my drift. Soundtrack!

Round Nine: Stephanie

Evolutionary Change: Disco hose??? Um, yeah.

Round Ten: Young

Evolutionary Change: Prime suspect! Don't let the fact that she's cute fool you. This is one dangerous blond b*$%#!

Round Eleven: Bee

Evolutionary Change: WWW traded in her junker broom for that new fangled scooter.
