another old doll

another old doll, originally uploaded by jelene.

this doll, among the others posted here, were my mother's. this doll she said was left outside of her house when she was young.. and she forgot about it for a long time, leaving it in all weather conditions. she said she found it again and took it inside, but then put it up in their attic... back then there wasn't any a/c, so i'm surprised it's lasted this long. the body, arms and legs are rubber, but are extremely fragile now, the left arm has completely fallen apart. the head is made out of a thick celluloid material i believe and it's in pretty good condition considering what the doll went through!

this old doll was my mother's and is covered in a moldy type powder... the dolls were left in their attic when she was young. the powdery substance can be easily removed, however i always left it cause i thought in a weird way it was cool when i was little.

the past few days i've been sick i've been having a lot of weird dreams. i dream often, however it's strange how you mind does things when your body is healing, or you haven't had sleep in a long time, your dreams seem to be more intense. i've been messing around with my movie maker on my computer for awhile, but could never get my small videos to work with it since my files were .mov. i finally downloaded a conversion program by radtools and it makes .mov files into .avi, which works for movie maker... i took some of these doll photos and small video clips from around the house and made a strange dreamlike video.... i could never replicate my own dreams, but it was fun messing around with....
