Dolly Broke

Probably the first time a child’s heart broken is when Dolly breaks.
For some Dolly is a direct link to a fantasy world. Dolly knows her deepest secrets and wishes.

On another level Dolly Broke is the child within us all when feelings of helpness and sadness strike.

Dolly Broke is available as a framed print, poster, laminated print and card.

Hi Shanina, this is great, reminds me a little of Holly Hobby gone Goth (the eyes mainly) and I love those deep earthy firey tones. Excellent work.

and it is a Goth Holly Hobby lol!

Cailean, 9 months ago

This has a certain voodoo feel for me – specifically relating to the loa of Samedi and Ghede, probably wandering more towards Samedi. The skeletal nature of the doll and the plaintitive but somewhat alien visage of the child. Indeed, the doll is reflected in her owner – as the doll that is held is made of wood or plastic, the little girl is a doll made of flesh …

The sepia tone makes me think of the next world, which she is eager to enter or has recently come out of, again reinforcing the death loa effect of my initial impression of the work. Darkly beautiful
Douzy, 9 months ago

This is stunning – love the BIG eyes!! The colours are fantastic too!
