It's been awhile . . . .

It's been a long while since I updated this lonely little blog. Time for something fresh and new!

This year I'm working on a series of Alice in Wonderland Art Dolls. The first was Alice. I absolutely LOVE how she turned out! Every once in a while I create a character that's especially hard to let go. Alice almost didn't make to the public. 25" tall. Mixed Media.

This beautiful lady is Annabelle, the Bluebird of Happiness. She was created in April of 2017. She stands about 28" tall from hat top to wired foot bottom. She's gone to live with a wonderful lady, with several of her Poppywise brothers and sisters. :)

Five Nights at Freddy's Sister Location - Circus Baby Fan Art Doll

Five Nights at Freddy's Sister Location - Circus Baby Fan Art Doll
*SOLD*

My son is a HUGE fan of Five Nights at Freddy's, an amazing, unique game created by Scott Cawthon. He's been telling me for months that I should create an art doll based on one of Scott's newest characters.

This is my interpretation of Circus Baby from Sister Location.

I was perusing through past work for inspiration, and realized that I'd never created a "Big" Santa. So, for 2016, Santa has finally come to town! ☺️

One of a Kind Primitive Folk Art Snowman Doll - Finn Wynterman

One of a Kind Primitive Folk Art Snowman Doll - Finn Wynterman
*SOLD*

It's always been a mystery how Santa gets all those presents to the good little girls and boys all over the world in one night. When there's a glitch in his plans, he calls on his secret army of Snowmen to help deliver the gifts on Christmas Eve!

Anna Winterfall - First Winter Girl 2016

Anna Winterfall - Created November 1, 2016

*SOLD*

Whenever I start a doll, I'm never quite sure exactly who they're going to be. Sometimes they're sweet. Sometimes they're sassy. Sometimes they're both. Miss Anna Winterfall definitely falls into the latter category. There's something so innocent about her, yet mischievous as well, like she'll smack you right in the face with a giant snowball, but then make up for it with a cup of cocoa later.

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.
