But I've had Vintage Circus on the brain lately, in many forms. And I discovered a small cache of antique jump-rope handles. What's a girl to do but make dolls, right? They're all different but similar...since there are only six of them--I don't plan to scour the world for antique jump-rope handles to make MORE--I guess you could call this a very limited edition. The last two dolls I made from tiny blocks, but they're still clowny.

Now, maybe that I've finished these dolls and posted their pictures, I will no longer hear that song in my head. I'm not holding out much hope, however, because I also plan a (short) line of little stuffed clowns inspired by the plastic faced, cloth body dolls of the 40's. I had so much fun finding polka dotted fabric!
Oh well. Send in the clowns...there ought to be...clowns.
