Old Friends

These dolls were shown in the "Boy will be Boys section of the March, 2006 issue of CONTEMPORARY DOLL COLLECTOR MAGAZINE!

This piece was inspired by the wonderful song by Paul Simon OLD FRIENDS(© & ® 1982 Paul Simon)

Meet Murray and Ethan – Old Friends who “sat on their park bench like book ends”*

Listen to the song or watch the Concert In Central Park (DVD ©2003 20^th Century Fox Home Entertainment) and hopefully you’ll see and hear  where my inspiration came from.
