Villamanga Class Assemblage Dolls

Earlier this year, I took an Assemblage Doll class at the Society for Contemporary Craft in Pittsburgh with Robert Villamanga. These dolls are the result. Check out Robert's site if you get a chance, really great assemblage work.
The first doll has a flattened tin can head with a pair of earrings for eyes. Her legs are some great sticks I found somewhere along the way.
The coat hanger doll was made from found objects, old keys, and a splash of paint. These were great fun to make from things that were just laying around.
The doll at the far right was created in the same class by my good friend Emily Eckel.

Hi Joyce,

Great assemblage dolls! This is something I've never tried myself. I love the surreal and interpretative nature of them.
