April 2013 Update: We are back in California from our seven-month-long road trip around the US, finally digging into some long overdue projects. This WIP #2 set will have more updates as it develops.

Our beautiful consumption. A work in progress indeed.

Years ago my eight year old drew a girl patient. Perhaps at that time, the kids were playing with my sister-in-law who is a doctor. I offered my daughter to make the doll for her so she could actually play doctor with it. Fast forward six years of busy making. That drawing always stayed with me and I finally turned it into my promise. Now my daughter is fourteen but even though she doesn't play with dolls anymore, she helped me design the real doll.

Girl Patient
needle and tread
scissors
scalpel
glasses

bandaids

original drawing by
eight-year-old girl

Addendum: Girl Patient has guts and heart. The idea was to be able to remove organs and stitch the patient open and closed during "surgery". The organs are not in the original drawings, but were imagined by us.

Details: Girl Patient has scars and scrapes, wounds that need to be tended to, all part of the role playing doctor on a "real" patient.
