Beth Robinson's Strange Dolls

New Studio Spot

Beth Robinson — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 04:06:53 +0000

One of the larger studios in our collective opened up and I took it! My studio is now the one facing the door to the parking lot, basically the studio that faces you when you walk in. It was originally owned by Ann Bailey but we decided to swap spots.

I have had a number of complaints about how difficult it is to get in and see my work during the open studio events like Art Hop and the Holiday Hop. There are a lot of people trying to get in and out during those events to not only look at the work up close and chat – but to be able to get in the door at all. I hope this new space will help with that. There is more leg room as well as a better line between work space and display space.

Hope to see you soon in my new digs!

Alien Fetus Ornaments

A friend of mine took this great photo of one of the alien fetus ornaments on his christmas tree. I love how the lights shine through the resin. I have more available: www.strangedolls.net!

Bizarre Holiday Ornaments

Beth Robinson — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 18:15:27 +0000

Coasting on the inspiration of my specimens in coconut shells, I created a similar design for Christmas this year. The alien fetuses are sculpted from polymer clay and sealed into clear Christmas ornaments with resin.

These ornaments are for folks who revel in having a non traditional christmas tree, have a dark sense of humor, or like to collect oddities and carny gaffs. This also makes the perfect gift for that certain someone who has everything. There are only 16 ornaments available on my website. Order one today to be able to have it in time for the holidays:
