The Clueless Collection

    Inspired by the film Clueless, the Clueless doll collection has landed. 

The film Clueless
This scene was the inspiration for my dolls.

    These art dolls stand 42CM tall [head to foot], and have armature [bend arms and legs]. The dolls have been made from felt, cloth and include hand painted facial details.

    Contact me via my About page if you wish to buy one or both of these dolls.

Slow Progress is a Beautiful Thing

© Melissa Gaggiano


    I have been working on these two Clueless cloth art dolls for a couple of months now. Three winter viruses slowed my progress right down. And now I'm almost there. The only thing left for Cher and Miss Dionne is to trim their hair and make accessories – one bag and one hat.

Shoop Shoop



Who remembers the film Mermaids, and Cher's cover of the Shoop Shoop Song? Don't ya just love the way people dressed in the sixties? It makes me wish we could just time warp our wardrobes to any era of our choosing.

And how about this dress, which played such a prominent part in the story (in addition to the infamous Mermaid costume worn by Cher)? I would love to have a dress like that in my collection.

Speaking of the mermaid costume, let's sneak a peak at some of the photos…


I have the original coming of age novel — Mermaids (written by Patty Dann) in my collection and it is a heart warming read. I think the film also lives up to the book quite well. The whole ensemble cast brought something magical and natural to the screen. Winona Ryder was a natural as the awkward teenager — Charlotte (I love the moment when she shouts out the car window “I want to lead a violent and exciting life”, narrowly avoiding a car accident. Christina Ricci was so charming as ‘Fish-Head’ Kate. And I loved the internalised way Cher played Mrs Flax. Mrs Flax was determined to party forever in an attempt to never allow another man to ever hurt her again.

Time to watch the Shoop Shoop Song again.
