Dana Disco

Meet her on the dance floor and watch her do the robot—

 

Dana is a denim doll with flexible wire limbs. Her body is up-cycled from scraps of cut-off jeans and copper wire donated from electrical construction sites. Her mouth is magnetic and can be quickly replaced for stop-motion animation!

Media: linen, polymer clay, 3D print, copper wire, bone, glass beads, acrylic paint.

The Sorceress

Rumored to be the most powerful witch in the Shadowlands, this haggard sage may be your last hope to escape the Enchanted Forest.

 

Or, perhaps she will seal your fate with a labyrinthian curse ...

Limbs articulate at the shoulders and hips.
