while i am a fan of pop-up street art

 so unique and free-spirited

 i took a pass on this item

might be a perfect match for someone else. 

(i almost glanced over my shoulder to see if it was following me.)

this is who/what was sitting in the middle seat

as my sister flew home after her visit.

i wouldn’t know what to say/do

but would definitely not fall asleep

glad to hear she made it home

i would have been terrified.

when bringing my bike into the basement

to store it for the long winter ahead

this was just standing there waiting for me

how long has he been there?

where did he come from?

what did he want to say?

why was he there?

asking for a friend.

creeping.

Posted on by

Baby doll head and limbs attached to a mechanical body. The doll appeared to be crawling. There is a piece of brown paper tied to it with patent information.
Creep into the Halloween weekend with this patent model from the Smithsonian National Museum of History.
It’s George Pemberton Clarke’s 1871 “Natural Creeping Baby Doll.”
The original patent office tag is still attached with red tape.

“Well, that’s just all kinds of creepy,” Puck muttered at my side, giving the doll a look of alarm.
