I know this is two in a row but the very moment I laid eyes on these beauties, I had to show them off.
Using papier mache, paperclay, pulp, sculpey and acrylic paint, Colleen Downs lovingly handcrafts each one of these unique dolls and draws inspiration from her 7 year old daughter. She doesn't use molds so every one is different from the last.
Colleen is a "self taught artist, working in sculpture for over 20 years." She also comes from a long line of craftsters! Here's her daughters shop, her sister's shop, her other sister's shop and her mother's shop.
If I had the cashola, I guarantee you I would be buying one of these to sit on my desk and be my muse. These clearly come straight from imagination and as you know, that's what I'm all about here. In fact, I was so inspired when I saw this that I might just go get my hands dirty in some papier mache!








not gonna lie, this kind of gives me the creeps.
