Mini High Fire Ceramic Hands
So very much detail is evident in this little set of hand beads. Measuring just a bit over 1/2 inch long by 1/4 inch wide and about 1/8 inch thick, these little hands are high fire ceramic - in a natural off-white finish with brown highlights, giving them an unglazed appearance. Each set is a pair of hands - one left and one right. The measurements are approximate as these are hand made and the color varies slightly due to the hand finishing process. Elegant little pairs of hands for your jewelry and art dolls are always fun to find.
And you'll especially appreciate the 0.8mm to 1.5mm hole for stringing or attaching is through the wrist. This allows you to more easily attach them to your art dolls.

From a series of photographs, artist Danny Matthys has created a collage of sorts of models from different modern times. Although each photo appears familiar, we could not positively identify any one. The artist has applied tints to some of the images in a pattern that makes the eye travel inward, then outward - so tat none is missed.
The individual images are tiny enough that each may be used in miniature artwork, or as images that might be used as photos in a doll house!

Mini Wooden Armchair
More Collage & Assemblage Stuff
This very special item is hand made of wood and is very much like a full-sized chair. The workmanship is just gorgeous. It was originally designed for a dollhouse, measuring a slight 2 inches high by 3/4 inch deep and about 1 inch wide. The dark wood looks fantastic with the burgundy velveteen seat.
What a perfect item for seating that tiny doll or hand made bear. Or, use it in a memory box or assemblage for a very special touch.

Medusa Bead
More Art Doll Supplies
More Beads
In Greek mythology, Medusa (Μέδουσα) is known as a guardian or protectress. It has been said that Medusa was originally a beautiful nymph, wanted by many men, until she was raped by Poseidon in Athena's temple. And, Athena transformed Medusa's beautiful hair to serpents and she made her face so terrible to behold that the mere sight of it would turn those who gazed upon her into stone.
Medusa has, over time, represented both beauty and the grotesque at once. She has come to represent women's struggle against violence and many modern myths have been created about her.
Our Medusa bead measures 3/4 long and 5/16 wide, with a generous opening for your cord or wire from top to bottom - making her perfect for art dolls.

Vintage Lenticular "Winky" Smile - Frown
More Lenticulars
We've always enjoyed lenticular (winky, blinky, flicker) images - especially the vintage ones. We were just so very excited when we found these vintage Vari-Vue lenticular smile that, with lenticular movement, changes from a smile to a frown and back again!
Use them for your art dolls to ad a kitschy flavor to them. Or just collect them like we do! Lenticular images like these (3d composition screens) were made a bit differently during the mid part of the 20th century - providing what we think is a much better 3D image.
The colors of the printed image are amazingly vibrant considering that these winky lips are almost a half-century old!
The moving mouth piece measures 2-1/2 inches across by 7/8 inches high.

Vintage Lenticular "Winky" Lips
We've always enjoyed lenticular (winky, blinky, flicker) images - especially the vintage ones. We were just so very excited when we found these vintage Vari-Vue lenticular lips that vary from a smile to a kiss!

Mini Day of the Dead Figure - Basketball Player
More Day of the Dead Figures
Our Day of the Dead Basketball figure might be uniformed in any color combination and might sport any team number, but he's quite the addition to any Muertos collection.

Large Acupuncture Head
This 8-1/2 inch tall, soft vinyl head is decorated with cryptic markings, Chinese characters and seemingly random letter/number combinations that have something to do with acupuncture. If you are not a Chinese acupuncturist, you'll find that the head looks slightly scientific and maybe even vaguely scholarly when placed on a mantle or a desk. The plain wooden base is crying out for a pithy plaque.

Raku Willendorf goddess urn
If you like our other urns, you'll love this little lady. Made of raku ceramic created by low-fire glazing. The ocean-sky hue ranges from dark blues to the palest of turquoise all in one pendant! She is fully fashioned in 3 dimensions. Shown are two pendants (back and front).
Our goddess pendants are glazed on the inside to hold liquids. They are not meant for food or drink contents, so, you might add an essential oil, or some earth from a special place for safekeeping.
Although meant to be worn as pendants, we think these little vessels would be perfect any assemblage, shrine or collage project you might be considering.
This little bottle is reminiscent of the Venus of Willendorf. The original statue measured about 4-3/8 inches high. Discovered in 1908 by archaeologist Josef Szombath at a Paleolithic site near Willendorf, Austria, there have since been a number of similar statues and figures discovered. They pre-date the mythological figure of Venus, but Venus is so often associated with Love, that the name has stuck.
Two urns shown for illustration.
