Real Dolls
Check out these groovy dolls being stitched by the clever Ms. Amy.
I am creating a series of dolls that focus on the inherent beauty of all.
The purpose of the series is to subvert the typical concept of “beauty” by using a traditional feminine housewifery type of skill to create modern depictions of of everyone’s beauty.
And Amy is looking for more ‘models’ for her dolls.
I’m looking for all types of women, hetero and homo ladies, womyn, lesbians, bois, butches, transmen, drag queens, queers, and femmes to be a part of my series. I want to celebrate the beauty I see in women everyday.
You just need to send her a full length photo (clothed if you want) and a couple of details. For more info, check out her website
I really like this project. It’s not too often you see issues of body image being challenged in the craft world. There is still a dominance of dolls with completely unnatural body proportions, especially the creepy big eyes! Very nice to see someone challenging the dominant images.
Remember there are no good or bad bodies, just $50 Million advertising campaigns.
Amy also has an etsy store, you can check out here. This is my favourite!
