Yes, I stood out in the rain to do the Brooklyn Flea on Saturday. Let’s not focus on that. Instead, let’s talk dolls. As I was setting up, I saw these fascinating beings and dropped everything to run over and have a closer look. Suprina of 2nd Souls creates sculptures from found objects that belong in galleries and museums, not at flea markets where people say “Uh, would you take $25 for that?”

I did the Dumbo market on Sunday and guess who was my next door neighbor? Suprina! I was all like “Yeah, go get something to eat. I’ll watch your stuff.” So, I got to spend the day looking at these awesome creatures and chatting with my long lost sister from the Planet of Discarded Dolls.

An interior designer by day, she only recently started focusing on her art work. She is drawn to society’s castaways and reincarnates these abandoned objects so they can live amongst us once again. The little sculptures start at around $45. Something more elaborate carries a $1500 price tag. Suprina also does customized portraits.

To make ends meet at the market, Suprina offers small reclaimed wood boxes and vases in the $30 price range. The weathered wood fits in perfectly with the battle-scarred effigies. The boxes are not up on her website yet.

You want a doll? Gotta contact Suprina. Her studio is located at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and y’all welcome to stop by for a tour.

“Hot Wheel” is a self portrait.

I was loving “Chariot” priced @ $450.
