That's definitely better than my idea, but mine is lazier: I would make her into a robot. Screw the limbs into an Altoids container, or some kind of cookie or candy tin, and then glue in some Joseph Cornell-inspired robo guts art assemblage: Whatever pieces of motherboard, model gears, colored wires, or triple-A batteries you have laying around will do. Presto: Victorian Micronaut.<br /><br />I think this doll is totally killer by the way. I agree that it is very likely her original legs were matching pot metal, and that those traveled through somebody's dog a long time ago. Somebody must have replaced em with these lovely china stems.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136311233296776036.post-87911007808717359822020-06-27T15:08:55.211-05:002020-06-27T15:08:55.211-05:00I like the Victorian-era black lagoon idea!

There have been several antique owners featured on Antiques Roadshow who did restoration work on their possessions, only to hear their work did more harm than good value wise.

Or maybe a frisky little lake scene-- or better yet, a Victorian era black lagoon scene! Now where'd I put my Munzerlite creature? ;)<br /><br /> I am definitely going to pursue this idea a bit further. Thank you for your wonderfully suggestion! :)Mr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136311233296776036.post-89713979328393200072020-06-27T09:45:00.245-05:002020-06-27T09:45:00.245-05:00She's amazing!

I'm a painter by trade, so my first instinct was "repaint", but you're right -- she's better like this! Even though the legs don't QUITE seem right for her, as you said, I think they look close enough. The way you have her posed in photo #4 is really cute... if you're adventurous enough, she would look adorable in that pose surrounded by bubbles, like she was in the bath. My suggestion for her: Find an old shallow bowl/dish/saucer that she would fit comfortably in (with a pretty floral print or something, she's so glamorous, it would suit her), and then fix her parts to the bowl (hot glue would probably be strong enough, but also removable at a later date without damaging her -- or you could use something more permanent like pouring resin around her). Then find a creative way to make the bubbles... given her glam nature, some clear beads in different sizes might be lovely. Or skip the "bath" idea and fill up the dish with costume jewellery bits! With her swimming in glittery jewellery, I would absolutely sit her on my vanity for decoration. Put enough that she's "immersed" and you can't see that she's just a bunch of parts. Dangle a piece of necklace over the side of the dish for some added dimension... I mean, I think she could be a real showstopper like this! Regardless, whatever you choose to do with her, please share photos on the blog so we can see. :) Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18033265800186000807noreply@blogger.com
