| A broken and battered mannequin, and a little puppet. I'm not sure I've chosen the right title. There's a sweet look of love and longing on the puppet. The beautiful but battered woman is out of reach, but perhaps she still has a sweet memory of a childhood love. I don't know. But I find it strangely moving. Things make themselves - but I did change his feet! They were just little wooden slabs, but if you've got enough stuff then you'll always find the right stuff. |
