Expressing your reaction (no matter what it is) is never unacceptable to me philip.

It's funny but today I got rather worried about the comment I made in case it kind of threw you or was unacceptable. I'm glad that you took what I said at face value and didn't get phased. The problem for me was that I saw it as a finished piece - hence all the memory links.

wow, philip, no I hadn't intended it, but I can see why you thought it (re: images from iraq). Your comment gave me goosebumps.

"this just illustrates the immense power of art I guess and how each person sees things differently."

It always amazes what people can see in my art that I don't see, and what I can see in others work that they had not imagined.

I found this more than painful to look at when I first saw it. It brought back emotional memories of a suicide that I witnessed on London Underground and some of the war photos I have seen of Iraq that don't reach the newspapers. I know that you intended none of this - this just illustrates the immense power of art I guess and how each person sees things differently. I am sure I will feel differently when it is finished!

The word doll is a shortened version of idol. Putting our desires and wishes on an inanimate object. Sort of a token God. A sharmanistic divining tool. But, yours looks a bit more like art. Maybe art is an attempt at the divine - a leap of faith, a scrabbling for something more. I still have my teddy bear - which I blew up with Guy Fawkes explosives, when I was a kid. He is all sewn up now, but has an eye missing.

What's with the voodoo? I don't know LOL! I have always found spirit/wish/voodoo/day of the dead dolls interesting. I have made a number of dolls, although they were not voodoo in nature, but they weren't pretty dolls. Maybe I will post one of them.

Discriminatory of the blind! Please! So what would they say about Picasso's interpretation of the human body? That it's discriminatory against those with only half a face?

Your doll is looking great girl! It's so interesting how Cynthia is working on a clay doll and you are working on a doll made out of cloth. I love all the different techniques you can use in art. I love the video! To me it reminds me that sometimes if you go to far with plastic surgery and perfecting yourself. You can mess yourself up in the process.Although I do not know if that is what the creator initially intended it to mean. Thank you for sharing that video with us!

What a sad video! Despite the message - it was put together so wonderfully. I want to learn how to make videos like that. Wow.

I like how your doll is starting out, Jafabrit!!

I found it interesting that the Asian dolls were a bit like Weebils Wobble but They Don't Fall Down. I wonder if that was their inspiration??
