Still trying to perfect my Blogspot

Wait, I can't perfect my Blogspot since I've already professed I don't like perfection! But I am trying to learn my way around here which, ultimately, should be easier than the previous blog space I used.

It's difficult to focus on any one project these days. One of those projects is preparing for an upcoming three-day exhibition at the Jennie Cooley Gallery in Santa Fe. I want to showcase some of my doll photos (the Secret Keepers series) and would love to introduce yet another take on them. So here is a work-in-progress, wherein I combine an antique portrait with a doll's head. Aunt Betsy never looked this good! Not sure what I'm going to call this collection. Ideas welcome - if I use your idea, I'll send you a print!

  1. Looking good! What did you finally do? I think I still have another PhotoBlOGraphy link that I need to change because it didn't link to this one.

  2. Jane - I'm HORRIBLE at blogging, so don't expect to see my face anytime soon. My ideas for your new collection:

    Crazed Ancestors (crazed as in crackling)
    Heirloom Faces
    Heirloom Heads
    Ancient Faces
    Ancient Heads
    Dead Heads

    Good luck!
    your cuz

  6. Here's my current idea.....

    A-Head of Myself

    Notice how my head is on a drawing that I did of a classroom model I had once.

  8. I love the idea you present in these photographs + doll heads. I suggest calling this photographic combination "doll face".

  9. Hi Jane. I love the creativity of the combination of old doll heads with antique photos. I would call it "doll face"; your creations would give new meaning to that term.
