It's called a Dooleybobber! And it measures about 2.5" x 3.5"...you have to look closely at all the little items she included in the piece!!! What is a Dooleybobber?? Here is Jan's definition taken from her blog back in 2014:
"Some people have asked me what a dooleybobber is. That is the name I came up with to call this series I continue to work on. A sort of generic term for a nameless thingamajig. I believe it is unique to me because when I Google Dooleybobber, my work is the only thing that comes up. Google tries to tell me I want Doodlebobbers but no, if you make it find Dooleybobbers, that is all mine!!! Maybe I should patent it."
I've followed Jan's blog for quite sometime. She always has such interesting posts on her art work and her life. The property Jan lives on looks beautiful and so peaceful, which makes it so enjoyable going on 'walks with her' when she posts about her surroundings. Do check out her blog.
In return, I made a humbug bag and sent to Jan this week.
I love my Hum Bug bag! It feels so nice with that ultra suede fabric you embellished with stitch and color. I think I'll keep my gel pens in it. Glad you like your mini dooleybobber. The little ones are like sketches for me. Your bag was unexpected but sure makes a nice trade! Thanks for the shout out.
ReplyDeleteI follow Jan's blog also, and love her Dooleybobbers and her nature walks. Yours is lovely! I got a mini one from her not too long ago- an they are a study.
ReplyDeleteYou two are the best and two of my longest blog friends. Thanks for continuing to share a bit of yourselves with us.
