Next in line is CHUNKIE Mod girl is created from plasticine and jewellery bits I had laying around…and some little silver balls…..some photoshopping to add her facial features….Mod Girl is 60’s inspired and bears a symbol of peace on her bodice…. the colours are reminiscent of the 60’s and here she is all ready to perform the ‘Go Go’.....in the spotlight! Sixties Fashion Vid
Once the Chunkies are created and photographed, I usually dismantle them to be used in the creation of more chunkies, so I am recycling the plasticine. These Chunkies have been very therapeutic to create over the holidays, whilst taking a break from red bubble and having my family around. I have many more to come, and although I won’t be on RB as much, I hope to also be doing some serious painting this year…so i look forward 2009 with much anticipation …
CHUNKIE Mod Girl belongs to the following groups:
Art of the Doll, Back In Black ( sorry~NO PHOTOGRAPHY), Childhood, Cutest of the Cute, Fashion Illustration, Miniatures and Mammoths, Mixed Media, Out of the Past, Peace Love & Happiness Hippies and Woman Appreciation Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

Lorna Gerard
Another beauty, “she’s a mod, she’s a mod, yeah, yeah, yeah!” (one of my favourite songs from this time) I grew up in this era and was a mod, particularly liked it, because they were so into peace – “Give Peace a chance baby!!)
Karin Taylor
replied
hiya Lorna…thank you….and well fancy that…i wasn’t all that sure if they followed the peace movement or were supporters thereof…but you proved it…yeah!! thanks so much for the voice of experience here, that’s really cool that you were a mod…how cool were/are you then….did you have one of those hair cuts…did you dance the ‘go-go’, it was hard to find good video footage of the girls doing the go-go….that song I listened to it this morning, the band and the lead singer were pretty darn groovy….
Ray Columbus & The Invaders – She’s A Mod
Anni Morris
Glad to see she supports peace not war…and she is very keen on her blinggggg :) ~ Anni
Karin Taylor

Hi Anni…yep, a peaceful protestor…although i think the mods got into some scuffles with the skinheads at some stage…but this girl isn’t into violence :) (and she loves her bling, you are right!)
Mohsen Bayramn...
naughty girl… and not sure why I think so…! maybe her eyes..
Love your style, Karin :) you’re doing amazing!
Karin Taylor

Lorna Gerard
Hi Karin, Well I am not exactly sure if the mods were in the peace movement now I think about it, but I do know the peace sign was around that time, and I think it was more associated with hippies, but it really doesn’t matter, it’s the peace sign that is important and I use to wear bellbottom pants with matching cropped jacket and my hair was in a bob, I think I was imitating Cilla Black, i don’t suppose you have heard of her. Yes I did try to go-go but I think i more ‘went went’ lol, plus the monkey and the swim, my kids laugh themselves silly when i dance silly like that and have fun. xxoo
Karin Taylor
replied
ooo we grew up with a wide range of music….we had to watch the lovely cilla black, with her red hair and beautiful voice…I loved her….rolf harris was big in our household too, dave allen, faulty towers…..they loved val doonican in his rocking chair, dolly parton, buddy holly, johnny o’keefe, and later on dad came a big countdown fan and we had to watch that every Saturday night….he also loved shirl from Skyhooks……from country through to rock and roll and classical…the most embarrassing thing they ever did tome, was come to all my school dances and actually dance!!! they just loved to dance..they were great too…like jive stuff…..i did ballet, but never really got into the ‘groove’…too self conscious :)...prefer to strum a little on my guitar and sing to myself lol or to swan around the loungeroom to the Blue Danube all fairy like….that was my specialty….giggles :) my dad is like you….he just breaks into silly dance moves and does funny things….it’s so funny to watch your own parents dance for some reason :)
