Doll Heads

(November 29, 2006)

"What, since you've met me, makes you think I have any idea how to do something like that?" Joe asked.

"Um. Oh yeah. I forgot."

I want to wire up some of the pieces I'm making in my studio. Did I say studio? I guess so. Once I moved the one good printer, ditched the two dead printers and stored all the padded CD-mailers and other promo shit, the table in my "office" became the place where I make my messes. So now my office is no longer my "office" but my "studio." I just couldn't stand it anymore, hauling plastic bins of paint, Sculpy polymer, giant jars of Mod Podge, brushes and newspapers and a million little oddball doodads out to the living room, opening it all up to make something and then look up to find that five hours have passed and now I have to either move all my shit again mid-session or serve dinner amongst the doll heads and drying faceless nudes.

Drying Faceless Nudes. Now there's a band name.

So yeah, I want to wire up some of the pieces I'm making in my studio.

You know, so they light up.

Last year I was doing 3D polymer & canvas board. Now I'm finding old picture frames and shadow boxes and constructing little environments inside them out of found objects.

One of them, "The Storage Closet," really needs a bare lightbulb hanging from the ceiling.

OH WAIT! DOLLHOUSE STUFF! I BET I COULD FIND DOLLHOUSE LIGHTBULBS AND KITS TO MAKE THEM LIGHT!

All those caps are because I thought of it just that split second. This entry isn't really done but now I HAVE to stop and go Googling for dollhouse electrical junk.
