There's a party at the Doll's House.....



Would you like to come to our party?..




There are already guests inside...




Here's one peeking out of the window...




We keep a watchful eye on the children..




We even have a nanny and they can stay for ever..

and ever...

and ever...





in the Doll House




poem by Margaret Attwood




The dolls used in the collage are ones I
found on ebay and are on wood, but 
Kristin at Retro Cafe Art has the same 
ones in paper cuts. Check them out here.

    Ohhhh it gives me shivers it is so gorgeous. I love it!!!

    Now as for the creepy dolls my guess is I may not have the best sleep tonight. But still it was creepy fun to watch-- especially liked the one holding his own arm. : )

    Thanks Tami and Kerin. I love the music on the video; it's from Rosemary's Baby. Very sinister.

    Wonderful details! I love looking through the window and the poem (and music)is sending a shiver down my spine. You've created the perfect atmosphere for this piece, Jo.

    Jo, just checking your post out now...sorry I always seem to be so bloomin' busy! I absolutely adore this collage - it's quite possibly one of the coolest collages I have seen for an age!

    Omg- how did I ever miss this party? Did my invite get lost? Well, i peeked in the window and saw what a great time everyone was having so- decided to crash the party. What an amazing time i had. Everyone was so welcoming, and wow, the people are just great. Not too much conversation going on- but it's their larger than life personalities that make the party really a winner!! :)
