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

The little doll in this picture is much like my first Christmas doll.
When I opened the box she had beautiful, long locks, a gorgeous dress but I was never a dolly girl and within an hour of being given her, I had chopped her hair off, ripped her clothes off and painted her
....... Perhaps I was a little peeved not getting more paints and coloured pencils and books for Christmas.
Dad never said anything….but I remember he was very quiet and she was the first and last doll I got for Christmas ..lol!

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.
Shanina Conway
That’s right…when I was working on her she kept reminding me of someone,
and it is a Goth Holly Hobby lol!
Kitsmumma

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

enchanting and exoticly mysterious
Ted Byrne
Nope, can’t approve of this outfit. Not the rose, eyes, b-stung lip, maryjanes, or white tights with that dress. Call me chauvinist… out of date… or hopelessly inflexible but… NO, this is something I would not allow my son to wear.
On the other hand the doll’s kinda cool.
Again, you have a wonderfully hinky imagination Shanina… And you’ve nailed this whacky-romantic illustration for an update of Edgar Allen Poe… Um, well… it could use a raven. What? Were the out of stock? Bummer.
Shanina Conway replied
lol! T E D…hahaha;)
No Raven…mmm…how did that escape me!
