speaking of body parts...




My latest purchase of German doll parts arrived today! I purchased about 100 arms and 100 legs. These are rescued from the grounds of abandoned German doll factories. I simply love the idea of finding these treasures in the ground after a hundred years and bringing them back to life. I use them in my Narrative Doll Assemblages.

Elizabeth,
It's getting harder to find small lots of assorted doll parts - my supply is running low. I just may have to look into buying the larger lots from Germany. Looks like you got some great dirty, rusty arms and legs!!! From one doll parts lover to another - happy creating. Linda

Hi, Elizabeth - Would you please share your source for the excavated German doll parts? Other than eBay or etsy, I am unable to find a source (foreign or domestic) for doll parts to use in my craft and jewelry making. By the way, your work and your blog are great - Very inspiring!
