Barbies twizzle around on a chandelier
Galina gave me a cream chandelier she found. I keep meaning to throw it out. But today was the day. With three Barbies slotted into the bulb socket and a candle where the electrics are housed hung from a hook in my ceiling.
Barbie is released from the golden egg
I went past the very plastic Christmas tree in the Jaffa port. I noticed one of the large gold baubles had fallen off and smashed. So I climbed over a fence and retrieved it. I used the footless Barbie and put different coloured felt wine glass markers Debby had recently bought me from New York.
Rainbow footless Barbie enjoys her time in a coil
I found this metal coil in the street. I felt Barbie needed dressing so with a rainbow assortment of hair bobbles I covered her body and arms and gave her earrings, pearls in one hand and a safety pin with bells in the other. She spent time twirling about and now she is with the keyrings from Anokhi, Jaipur, India.
Mini-mermaid Barbie and mini-merman Ken find themselves enveloped in a balloon sculpture
I found this in Cafe Blue today (2.1.26) and I took it home! It was just lying about. These figures had already had their debut in a photobox book in watery situations in northumberland with Sandra and Hugh.
Obviously mermaid Barbies must be near water.
I bought these three iron water baths for birds in the UK and they came on my shipment. All three mermaids are enjoying them.
A very productive Friday!
Coffin Barbie
Started in Mexico March 2025 and completed in Jaffa in February 2026. I was going to knit her into her coffin but in the end I crocheted an evening dress and put on bells so if she was buried alive she could be heard, exhumed and rush off on her roller blades!
I used some felt balls as a way of attaching the base to the sides, spray painted a wooden skull I had made a long time ago and attached a leaf also to the top. I use some cardboard ties with elastic to keep it sealed.
