Amazing ideas! Maybe there could be a Charlie matryoshka that makes burping noises when you open it?
can you make these in a folk-art style? like wood-carved? like the wooden dolls you painted.
I love all your ideas. I think we are getting all about lost things or missed things... It's kinda beautiful in a sad way Or sad in a beautiful way.
Your toys idea reminded me of a short story I tried to write in my senior year of undergrad about a wind-up toy that sits and waits for someone to wind him, and he gets upset that he always gets so excited and happy when he is wound, and laments his dependency on only becoming alive when given attention. never quite figured out where to go with that. the descriptions of him slowly rusting while waiting to be would up was turning into a bad Dostoyevsky gone-bad novel with no point.
speaking of angst and loneliness, I have been listening to "You are the Quarry" by Morrissey. Even after listening to it a million times before, I still enjoy it immensely.
True story:
i wanna help you make/finish your wind-up toy idea...maybe we could even stage it during dostoyevsky's time
