Steampunk Doll Lee™ Nina Ten

Fresh from space
she made her way
Nina ten
and the first today.

This is Nina Ten, the first of several Doll Leeâ„¢ steam punk dolls by Alma Lee. She is a re-purposed doll. Her face was damaged from a freak accident involving a tricycle and a careless toddler. After hours of cosmetic surgery and restoration she is ready to embark on a life of a more loving planet. I designed and sewed a new "steam punk" dress for her hand and custom made. Her "accessories" include a car hose clamp necklace, vintage metal bead earrings. Copper tubing hair extensions, and gears work as her knee replacement. Being rebellious she did have her nose pierced without prior permission, but we like it (don't tell her!)

The Second Creation of Frida

This is one of my entries for the EBSQ Frida show. A very interesting and profound woman and life.

Retro Cuff Steampunk Bracelet

This piece of Jewelry was inspired by my cat! One day he went charging through the house like his tail was on fire, when I told him to knock it off, he did and landed right in the middle of my bead organizer. Since approaching jewelry design in any organized fashion seemed a remote possibility, I decided that a little piece work was in order.

This is a large woman's bracelet with recycled and glass beads and gears all hand stitched on a wide band of elastic.

About this piece:
Size: large

Steam Punk Suzanne and the Anti-Aging Device

She could bear and wouldn't look
at the wrinkles on her skin
she cranked up this, and shored up that
only be be worse than she
had ever been.

I think that the hardest thing for me to do with this piece was title it. I wanted to call it Post Menopause Art or something along those lines. All the while I was working on it I kept think gosh she looks like Suzanne Sommers. When I was preparing it for print I saw for the first time the word Age on her thigh. (it had been part of an antique cigar tin I had called PORTAGE) That sealed the deal for me. On a more serious note, it is yet another piece of the "Visual Diary of the journey to the Edge of Dsyphoria" It is another likely outcome of a world left with no more than Man as God. We will tweak, and twist and improve by any means possible our aging carcasses. Because we are all about appearances and youth. I would love to learn to see us as God sees us...beauty in the hoary heads and wrinkled faces.

The Angels Fell and They Know Not

When man became God
the angels fell and knew not
to lead the masses to believe
Hades the paradise, they sought

This is another addition to my steampunk/cyberpunk saga series. Depicting the likely outcome of man becoming god. The wings are an image transfer taken from an antique spark plug tin, and then I drew in the figure around it in color pencils

Cassie Capacitor

Going through my Dads stuff, after our estate sale I found some unsold boxes of "junk". I had some warm memories of sitting with my father as a young girl and handing him the sodder as he worked on TV's and Radios. Later he owned a Gas station and all that was left were these 3 boxes. I brought them home and got to thinking, after staring at them for a week, I ordered some fimo and paint markers. Let me introduce you to Cassie Capacitor.
