The Penis Parade: Knit Dicks by Marianne Batlle




Marianne Batlle knits dicks. She also embroiders brooches in the likeness of designers, but those aren't nearly as blog worthy.

The French artist began crocheting penises in 2004 and has been exhibiting them (so to speak) since 2005. Les Poupées Pénis (the Doll Penises) are of all types, made with many different materials and given various personas via their monikers and style. She incorporates raffia, beads, crystals, wire, faux fur, wool, gems and more into these little male members. They have been shown at gallery exhibitions, sold to private collectors and featured in a virtual mock runway show as well as in a catalogue on her site. (Her site is in french, by the way).

Below are 18 exclusive doll penises made for her 2007 show in Paris:
