Ebay, TV, Fun




Hey, Just sold my first Ebay piece - the Alpha Girls you see here. I admit it was a nice feeling. I’m inspired now to list more things and make my Ebay gallery come more alive. Perhaps our fears about the economy are lightening a little and we can let ourselves please ourselves a bit, like buying art. Alpha Girls is one of my favorite boxes. I love these little dolls and along they way mark them as either Alpha Girls or Numeral Girls. The letters and numbers are enigmatic even to me, but I like the idea that they hold a hidden identity.












Another favorite of mine is this doll who is a homage the Abby character on the popular tv show, NCIS. She’s goth, she’s really smart and competent, a genius at computers and science, her decidedly own person. I was inspired to do create this homage when I found this doll who just reminded me of Abby. She was my first doll whose head isn’t altered in a major way. I get a kick out of her.

  1. Congratulations on selling your ebay art!
    I think the Abby-art doll is adorable. She does look like the character on TV. That must have been fun making her. I like what you said about her being her own person and i've been thinking about that idea...being our own person. The episode I saw showed her working beautifully with the doctor who is totally different from her, yet she was so comfortable being herself. I like the idea of being comfortable being myself.
    Here's to continued inspiration!
