HI! I love to animate/make things from "trash". Like this new sign/artwork for my studio wall. I saw this animated in my head and wanted to try it out. Now I want to make a huge interactive electronic version of this in real life! I have crazy ideas! If you can help make this happen (know someone who can commission me or fund this project, send me!). The real sign works, you can "type" anything you want by closing and opening the lids.

Here is a video to show a bit of the making process 👀

A HUGE thank you to my Patrons who funded this project. Grateful.

I had to go through exactly 179 doll heads to find 49 matching eyes. I get the doll heads from a ‘Friday market’ in Cairo, these are kind of like scrap markets, sellers collect various things that were thrown away and sell them for very cheap prices, if it doesn’t sell then it goes next to garbage collectors who would then recycle it. I can find around 60-70 doll heads in just one day in a small Friday market in Cairo, it’s an astonishing amount of dolls that get thrown away.

I am now a doll eye expert, these come in 3 different sizes; small, medium and large. And within these three sizes there are two different sizes for the iris itself.
