Bear Pop Vending (fizzy pop)

£215.00

Artist's notes on style, materials and inspiration:

Anyone who has followed my work for a while (and sees my company name) knows about my love for vending machines, especially the Japanese variety. They are to be found everywhere, particularly the drinks kind, making sure that everyone has access to a beverage (and sometimes many other things) in all kinds of places.

They are often found in alleyways or seemingly out of the way places, where you might also find lots of other things going on. This wood girl shares some of what you might find - an aircon unit, a slatted window, plants in pots, and another vending machine selling bear snacks - all under a blue tiled roof which continues as her hairstyle. The vending machine at the front is under a wooden signboard and there are some neon orange 'pops' here and there. Atop her head is a big can of Bear Pop.

This girl is approximately 21cm in height.

My pieces are painted in a naïve and simple style, with visible brush strokes and differing paint consistencies. It is important to note that these dolls are made from real wood which will have naturally occurring markings and grain, and sometimes there will be small amount of bleeding along the grain, or knots, which is to be expected when using untreated wood - please make sure you consult the pictures carefully before purchasing.

PLEASE NOTE: Wood girls should be kept away from water which can damage the wood and painted surface, and also away from direct heat/ sunlight which also can affect the surface colour and the timber itself.
