new collection announcement

Hello all you lovelies!
I used to update everyone about my projects and i feel that I have neglected all of you recently.

I currently have a new series of dolls being revealed on Friday March 19th, 5-8p.m. opening reception at Gargoyles Statuary 4550 University way in the U-district.

This series has been cleverly titled "The Bereavement Socialite Collection" and will only be available at Gargoyles or on my etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop/paynecreations

Each dolls dress is made from authentic Victorian/civil war era fabrics, along with an authentic rusted skeleton key, and a eucalyptus nut inside each that is from a tree planted in 1860's SF by the mother of civil rights and voodou practitioner/queen Mary Ellen Pleasant.To read the full story on this inspiring historical female go to http://mepleasant.com/story.html

In February 2010 I also launched a new series of dolls exclusively available in the french quarter at Ragin Daisy entitled "Marie Antoinette Tramp dolls" these can also be purchased on my etsy if interested.Each and every doll I have made since 2009 (excluding custom orders) has a Mary Ellen Pleasant nut inside. The dolls love the rich history, and magic it adds to their personas!

Also I have 2 skeleton hand painted acrylic dolls left and available on my etsy for $25 each (normally $40.00+), along with the latest issue of Oblivious Era zine with Martyn Jaques from the Tiger Lillies on the cover!

This month March 23rd I am one of the featured artist in New Orleans Gambit monthly art and entertainment mag "CUE" http://bestofneworleans.com/specialpubs/cue_1003/index.html

My next project is focused on Tennessee Williams, so if your a fan keep an eye out for dolls and captured images influenced by the genius of literature and twisted stories Tennessee.
