Dolls

Yesterday I spent an hour on the floor at work, photographing  donated dolls. Most are dirty & damaged, one way or another.


I'm relieved that I'm generally undamaged myself, though out of shape. Gym-guy Ben had asked me on Monday if I spend much time on the floor, and I'd said no. He'd given me "lift-yourself-off-the-floor" exercises anyway--
like, sit on floor with legs to one side, and lift your rump up.
My glutes were sore the next day!

I never cared about dolls until the Little Reds came. Now I see how alive dolls can be.
Lots of people told me these dolls are creepy. I can see that, but I feel the opposite--to me, they appeal.

BELOW: This doll is made of one piece of wood, I think--she is immovable.



The Japanese dolls above ^ are worth some money. ($25 each? They are in rough shape).
Most of these dolls aren't worth much though--a couple bucks--some would say none.

I don't know if I should bring them home... What would I do with them? 

For now, I am photographing them at work.
