One-of-a-kind hand sculpted art-doll by Australian artist Dina Goebel.

Part of a series of mini art-dolls, did you know a group of octopus is called a ‘consortium’? The Time Consortium are unique, surreal, half woman – half octopus creatures. Fashionable, colorful and quirky, they bring the fun of doll making and collecting to adults.

This Red Time Maiden is attire is inspired by the famous Envelope Dress by Cristóbal Balenciaga. With her wild red mohair, brass headpiece and tigress colored eyes these are like little jewels themselves. Her treasure chest is a clear plastic jewel box and inside is her brass sand timer and seashell.

The Time Consortium series are made of polymer clay, glistening mica and acrylic paints protected in a UV block varnish. Pieces of fabric, lace, glass beads and jewels adorn these creatures. Just 15cm from top to bottom, and left to right – this is not a child’s toy, rather it is a unique sculpture to be carefully positioned away from direct sunlight for you to enjoy.
