A Wonky Rescue Doll

A doll I rescued from a trash barrel at work.

I think it's very cool. It looks like the arts & crafts I saw people living with dementia making when I was working in Memory Care. (A post about that: "Pieces of a Smashed-Up Life"). 

I like things that show imagination working despite, or even because of, limitations and damage.



wonky: crooked, off-center, askew, unsteady, shaky...
Cognate with Scots wankle (“wonky”), Dutch wankel (“shaky”), German Wankelmut (“fickleness, inconstancy, vacillation”), Danish vanke (“to wander”).
