Ettie and Edmund

Here's the inspiration I was given for these dolls:

dark colours, retro pin ups, funky design, steam punk, 

moonlight, interview with a vampire, shiny things, vintage objects,

 vintage style, Victorian and Edwardian styling, carnivale, moulin rouge...

Inspiration from Reverse Garbage who's first exhibition of the year is

'Trash Amour'

For this exhibition they want 'romantic handmade items with a bit of attitude and edge'.

All items must be at least 75% recycled/repurposed.

(those beer bottle caps are his goggles!)

So here's some of the things I used:

an old tablecloth

wedding dress off cuts

vintage clip on earrings/

pearl bracelet on old metal spring

old trousers

vintage buttons

1960's neck tie

beer bottle caps

nuts from our broken fan

wire spring

napkins

op shopped charm bracelets

theatre costume off cuts

hands from a broken clock

stuffing recycled from plastic bottles
