Chad put together some video clips he took during the "Buried Treasure" photoshoot from the other day. The clips were taken with the intention of showing some "behind the scenes" footage, since it's not everyday you bury a doll in the sand.You can see the video on Vimeo
I buried a doll in sand today. Then I dug her up, pretending that I was finding a precious, lost relic.
This photo shoot was for a project I’ll tell you about later. I would never do this with a resin doll, but porcelain doesn’t get stained by dirt or scratched by the soil particles, so it was relatively safe. However, I was a little concerned about it getting inside the spring mechanism and between the joints, so I chose to bury her in sand as opposed to soil, because the grains are larger and can be vacuumed out once they dry. I was able to brush most of the sand off her skin pretty easily, but she still needs a wipe down and a vacuum. She sounds worse than she looks, because her joints grate with the sand stuck between them. But she’ll be alright. It was a fun experiment.
