Julie Arkell



Julie Arkell makes all-sorted dolls using paper and glue to mould the figures. Sometimes they have wool features, doll heads, or painted faces. Julie sometimes uses plastic arms and legs taken off old dolls and re-assembled onto her dolls bodies. The clothes they wear are pieces of fabric, knitted, sewn and crocheted which gives a really nice texture andfeel to them.
I like how different her work is, I think some circus characters could look really good in this style, linking to Sara Fanelli's big top illustration.
