I'm fascinated by the woman in the photo that this drawing is based on- I think she looks weirdly stiff and artificial, kind of like a doll. I really wanted the photo, but I doubt the family it belongs to would have appreciated it if it disappeared, so this drawing will have to do.Friday, 22 August 2008

geriatric associations
in a previous post of mine about diaper fetish, there was a comment from tessa klaren saying how she was more interested in geriatric incontinence. now i know what incontinence is, but i didn't really know what GERIATRIC incontinence was, so i typed it into google image search to see what i found.
i found this picture of a geriatric care patient simulator.
it would absolutely confuse a little girl if she got one like these for christmas.. and i obviously should never become a parent.
it reminds me a lot about when i went to see auschwitz and there was this room full of prostheses.
and later, probably inspired by that, i had a fever fantasy hallucination thing where i thought of myself as a pensioner completely made of prostheses.
then i found this strange doll in a charity shop that sort of embodied my confused thoughts on this subject, and i knew instantly that he was mine.
what i couldn't understand though, was that some child must have had him before me. i really think he's too grotesque for a child.
i don't know what i want to say with this, and maybe it's not important that i come to a conclusion; i only wanted to share a dark strange feeling i have of something to do with dolls, humans and the warped in-betweens.

diy cropped winged top

when tidying up i found this old sketch for a cropped winged top and got a bit distracted.

you see i love wings, but they're always too stiff and costume-ish to wear on an everyday basis. or even to parties. i remember totally destroying my friend lanna's wings at a party (i'm sorry lanna!!) because the wings weren't soft enough to acommodate my wreckedness.

then i found this teddy bat that i didn't need (who NEEDS a teddy bat anyway).
and as i'm the queen of junk and can never chuck anything away, i had to start crafting him into something more useful to avoid chucking him away. obviously a cropped winged top is very useful. and a winged teddy beast is absolutely perfect for that as the wings are soft, so you can lean back on them completeley comfortable without them being destroyed.
i found an old wollen jumper i never use and chopped it off just below the arms. when cutting, remember to leave a bit of extra fabric for sewing. then i stitched on the wings.
to make it fit nice, i had a look at the design of a cyber dog cropped moon jacket i have (it's a kick ass jacket, you can buy it here) and copied how it sort of goes up a bit in the front. remember, he who stands on someone else's shoulders sees the furthest.

and here is the final result:

my grandmother wan't very impressed, she said "YOU CAN'T GO OUT WEARING THAT!". but i can, and so can you; it wasn't hard to make.

photo-dioramas by Laura Plansker
Dioramas are such a great thing. I need to start making them, it's been a plan of mine ever since I saw a diorama that a relative of my friend Kat had made. It was a fancily decorated cardboard thing, and when you opened it up there was a little scenery with a field and some sheep. How amazingly pointless!
