Hello Sailor!

These dashing sailors are part of my new-ish boxed range of art dolls.  I have really enjoyed painting the boxes as well as the characters.  I am hoping to include some famous characters too; Virginia Woolf, Nancy Cunard, Greta Garbo.......

Boxed People...

I have been making something a bit different with these boxed folk; I had some of them at a Brighton Open house.  I like making them as each one is different and 'forms' as I go along; but it is proving quite hard to source boxes/frames at a reasonable cost.  I quite like the fact that they all long a bit dis-interested in life!!
