"Chair People and the Trees"
This is the 3rd batch of these sweet little dolls made from re-purposed chair parts and in this case, tree limbs. Some are fancy, some are silly, but they are all full of personality and expression. Are you ready to meet them? * * * First up is “Grace”
Gracie has it all. Part party-girl,
part sensible. Never a hot-head and always glam. She wears a meat thermometer hat, a beaded
shawl, and a Copenhagen tin lid for her dress. Her arms and legs are tiny keys to finish and embellish this woodsy girl.

“Lola”
“Her name was Lola,
she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers
in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would meringue
and do the cha-cha
And while she tried
to be a star, Tony always tended bar
Across a crowded
floor, they worked from 8 till 4
They were young and
they had each other
Who could ask for
more?”
Flowers,
bead, keys and scissor legs to die for. Lola remembers.
* * * “Wolfgang”
A music man from head to toe. A wooden leather softening tool of some sort, some washers, and jiggly springs. A music
themed wine cork expresses what’s on his mind
* * *
“Barry” ●
A barrel themed wine cork head, box
wrenches for arms and legs and a blue marble heart. Straight from the cellar, Barry’s
head is full of ‘barrel talk’. He works
hard all day, and party’s hard all night.
* * *
“Suzie” ●
Suzie because she is ‘slinky’ and
fun. A tree limb is embellished with a
flattened spoon, keys for arms, bits for legs and a whisk head. She is lovely.
