Words to the Wise

Words to the Wise– Handmade Mixed Media Art Doll

Words to the Wise is a tribute to curiosity, reflection, and the quiet power of knowledge. He carries the presence of someone who has read deeply, listened carefully, and speaks only when it matters.

His face is sculpted from air-dry clay and carefully hand-painted using layered acrylic and pastel tones, creating warmth, depth, and subtle expression. His wire glasses are individually bent and shaped by hand, adding character and a thoughtful, intellectual charm.

His shirt is formed from plaster cloth and painted with textured detail, giving him an organic, slightly weathered feel. In his hands, he holds a handmade book titled Words to the Wise — a small but powerful reminder that wisdom is meant to be shared.

He sits grounded on a metal base that has been decoupaged with an antique map, creating a vintage-inspired foundation rich with history and symbolism. The map suggests journeys taken, lessons learned, and stories gathered along the way.Her raised heart antennas symbolize emotional openness, connection, and the courage to broadcast love even after being broken. The layered textures and strong contrasts reflect the beauty of complexity — softness and strength existing together.

Please remember that this sculpture is intended for decorative purposes only and is not suitable as a toy for children.

Thank you for considering this little treasure; I hope it brings as much joy to your home as it did to me while creating it!
