Yvonne


Yvonne began as a really beat up dress form.  I disassembled her, then painted her in a birch wood pattern.  Next, I parted out a friend's Christmas tree and reassemble the branches into her skirt.  After adding a couple of strands of twinkling Christmas lights, Yvonne became a beautiful Manningkin.

Yvonne is now in Coalgate, OK.

Manning



I recently realized that I was painting Manningkins for so many people, but I did not have one to call my own. So now I have my very own Manningkin. Meet ...Manning.
He is definitely not available.

Blair



This is a child size Manningkin.  There is so much more that can be added to it to make
it more feminine or masculine.  It is ready to be personalize.

Polly

Renderings of Marilyn Monroe and Idina Menzel cover the front of Polly.  I could not get a good picture without the glare so the picture does not do the Manningkin justice.  On her back are notes to the song "Heart Breaker" by Pat Benetar.    Polly is available to a forever home.

So cool to be this young person.

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.  They must be felt with the heart."

Lucy

This was a fun project!  Lucy has already been to Las Vegas and is now in Texas.  I expect I will see her at October's An Affair Of The Heart in OKC.  I met the owners of Little Wittle Munkees at An Affair Of The Heart in February 2010.  They have the neatest line of "Dew Rags"; these are the most gorgeous things!  If you have little ones in need of some really cool moccasins (they are so cool) this is the place.
Check out Little Wittle Munkees and tell them you heard about them here just for fun! 

Jane



Groovy little chick, isn't she?  Jane is now in OKC with a woman who is in the fashion & textile industry.

Stevie

Available: Child size Manningkin
Stevie is the pink miniature of Tricia.  You can leave her as a spunky pink giraffe, or we can jazz her up!

Tricia

Available: Female Manningkin
A sophisticated giraffe print.  She is beautiful "as is", or she can be personizalized to your taste.

Gina


Gina was designed for my middle sister's new home, but never made it to her.  Instead, a  funny thing happened on the way to deliver Gina; she ended up settling in Ft. Worth's art district at a really cool store.  (so sorry my sister!).


Mary

 Mary is available.

Bridgett

I met a teenager at a Trunk show during the Christmas season who loved
the Manningkins & also loved the Ed Hardy look.
This Manningkin combines this teen's interests with the EH style.
