Click the Killer Clown

Click the Killer Clown - created October 28, 2016
*SOLD*


I'm not really a fan of gore. But I do love creepy! I think the new wave of "Killer Clown" sightings is a bit fascinating. What exactly is spurring this trend? Is it clever marketing, or something more sinister?

Asylum Annie - First Horror / Shadow Self Doll

Asylum Annie - Created October 12, 2016
*SOLD*

This girl had been running around in my mind for well over a year. I've been wanting to start a series of what I'm going to call Shadow Self Dolls. Carl Jung stated the shadow to be the unknown dark side of the personality that we may not be aware of, and could either be positive or negative. Annie is the first. And is a bit negative in nature.

I love the show American Horror Story - my favorite season being "Asylum", as well as the "ghost hunting" shows that investigate the decrepit, haunted mental sanatoriums and asylums. For some reason I feel connected to those locations. I feel compassion and a deep sadness for those that were mistreated in those institutions. All they really needed was help and attention.

Then there were those locked away that were perhaps incapable of being helped, suffocated by a darkness so thick not a ray of light could shine through.

I created this doll with that vision in mind and named her Annie, a nickname I detested when I was a kid. I was a bit of a mental case myself.

Lana de Luna - Dia de los Muertos Art Doll

Lana de Luna - Created October 5, 2016
*SOLD*

It had been well over a year since I made my last Day of the Dead doll, Elisa (can be seen in the Gallery). I knew it was time for another, and yet didn't know what her color story would be or how to proceed with the face. Until I found the yarn. I purchased this yarn over 6 years ago, and had NO idea what to do with it. It stayed stuffed in a box with other lovely nonsense, taken out occasionally when I was looking for something else. I happened to be looking for that something else one day when I saw this yarn and knew EXACTLY - FINALLY! - what to do with it. It had been waiting all these years for the perfect doll. It was the perfect shade of orange with bits of sparkly purple running through. It screamed "HALLOWEEN" at me and immediately jumped onto the bald doll's head, claiming its rightful place and securing its hairy position.

Gwynn WickSpyn - Pumpkin Witch Girl

Gwynn WickSpyn - September 4, 2016
*SOLD*

I was really getting in the mood to create a whole village of Pumpkin People. With so much to do, the population hardly grew, but I did manage to create a few charismatic characters!
