Tah Dah!...

I love the explosion effect of this photograph (below) of my Jill-in-a-Box taken by Kim Hincman. It's as if the crank was turned and the box flew open and the camera went "click!"

"Jill-in-a-Box" 3.5'x4'x14" waxed and wired polka-dot baby dress, vintage toy airplanes, vintage army paratrooper, vintage blind spot mirror, assorted vintage toys and game pieces: paddle ball, metal checker board, dominoes, dice, ping pong balls, rubber ball, bingo pieces, scrabble letters, two vintage toy ducks, toy hairbrush, whistles, tin horn, squirt guns, plastic snakes, ball and jax, wiffle ball and bat, golf ball and club, stacking donut toys, tinker toys, wooden stringing beads, antique wooden blocks, toy puzzles, child's scissors, toy tools: hammers, ax, shovels, rake, hoe, wire, wooden dowels, metal springs... I think that's it!...
"Jill-in-a-Box" in my installation titled "Serious Play" from Art Grows Here.

Thanks Allan!
Kim creates some great effects in her work.

I have since added a few more (can you believe it?!) elements to the Jill-in-a-box. I hope to post pics in a future post.
