clara + calla
clara and calla are not a
joyful pair. it is not that they are exactly depressed,
as that would imply some sort of stimulus, but rather that
they have had
not one small occurrence in their lives worth smiling over. when they
were
born their mother laughed at her good fortune - ‘siamese
ballerinas!’ she
thought and began to count pennies in her head. unfortunately, though the
girls slaved away in their classes the best they could muster was a
clumsy
twirl before crashing down in a pile of hair and
ribbons. and such was
the story of their lives, oh they tried poetry and song and the piano and
darts, but their very best was always slightly out of tune or a bit too far to
the left. finally clara and calla had no choice but to pack
their small
leather bag and run away. the poor girls still haven’t quite found a place
to settle, and simply wander about sighing softly
to themselves.
clara + calla were commissioned by one of my dearest friends
who could find nothing to
ask for but "tragic" and "siamese"
email me to inquire about an idea of your own!

clara + calla are jointed at both their shoulders
and hips. they have a satin bodice and a sheer skirt with
the faintest sparkles here and there. they also wear tiny silver
mary-janes and sweet roses in their hair.
