Baby parts bedazzled! 6 sparkly and strange mixed-media sculptures

They’re both sparkly and strange. The unlikely combination of doll parts and beaded surfaces has resulted in intriguing mixed-media sculptures by Betsy Youngquist.

“Surrealistic anthropomorphism” is how Youngquist describes the pieces. She collaborated with sculptor R. Scott Long on creating the forms and then developed the exteriors as a mosaic, adding porcelain doll parts and beaded elements as surface treatments.

“Creating art is a means to return to the looking glass and reenter the garden where flowers whisper and birds can talk. As my beaded characters emerge they carry with them tales from the other side of the mirror,” says Youngquist.

Youngquist began her work with beading over 20 years ago by integrating beaded elements into her watercolor paintings.
