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.
