MARKET DAY: Punch & Judy's "Boot Sale" featuring Arnold Print Works lithographed cloth dolls & toys

 

Established in 1860, Arnold Print Works was, at one time, a world leader in textile manufacturing with offices in New York City and Paris.

In the late 1890s they began creating lithographed cloth 3-piece patterns that could be sewn and stuffed. The dolls and "critters" could sit up by having the bottom panel in place. I owned an antique "Kitty" created by an Arnold Print Works pattern years ago, but eventually sold it at an antique mall when I was a second-hand dealer.

WORLD COLLAGE DAY ... two collages created for mail art friends

Above (post card) collage made for Fiona Webster! Fi's father was a geologist and Fiona told me she did not play with Barbie dolls as a child. She played with assorted rubber dinosaurs.

Above collage made for mail artist Jon Foster who just sent me mail art and also recently posted to his blog an entry entitled "How Many Collages of Ringo is Enough?" He ended his post with this sentence: "But yeah, it's fair to say he truly knows nothing about cephalopods."
