Master Ed
"Master Ed, a Strange little boy who doesn't know he's dead"
Master Ed is my newest ghostie and just listed in my Etsy shop.http://www.etsy.com/listing/87638526/ooak-victorian-gothic-macabre-ghost-doll
Poor Master Ed, his only firend is the ghost man attached to his wooden pull toy! He wanders in search of a playmate, but unfortunatly scares everyone away!
Master Ed clothes are made from a vintage masonic sash. I hand painted stripes on it, but for some reason they don't show up in the photo....ghost stripes, I guess!

Seems I don't have much time lately to get many dolls done,or update my blog! I wanted to have some fun things done for Halloween but it didn't happen. The gremlins have waged war on my life this last year and I have been busy fighting them off, but, spit-balls don't seem to have much effect on them...guess I'll have to try something a bit more drastic!
Anyway, hope you enjoy Little Master Ed.
I do have some fun news to put in my next post..in the meantime I'll be looking for a good "gremlin repellent spray"Does anyone know of any??

New Ghostie on Ebay!
Back from the exhibition in Canada, Madaline McCary and her shrunken brother Harry are now available on Ebay!
"With a voodoo spell, Madaline McCary shrunk her little brother Harry"!
We all know how pesky those little brothers can be!
I've added a larger striped bow onto Madalines hair and created a nice little headstone for her. The lamb and cross image was cast from the original childs coffin plaque,then I molded it in an airdry stone clay and turned it into a headstone.
Madalines dress is made using fabric from a tattered Victorian mourning dress.It has antique beaded black buttons on which I've added my signature sculpted baby skulls. The tiny skulls adorn her shoes and her hair ornament as well.
They are looking for a new home to haunt!
Check them out on Ebay!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/180740416390?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
If the Gremlins stay away, I hope to have a few more things done before Halloween, So keep watching!
Happy Hauntings!

Dollirium Doll Show
Greetings All!
It's been awhile since I posted. I see somethings are missing from my blog like the music and the followers...disapeared into the netherworld...I'm not sure what has happened. I'm not that computer savy so I hope that at somepoint they will return!
I have been working on my piece for the Dollirum Doll show "Dearly Departed" which opened on July 24th and will run thru Sept 3rd. Check it out, there are some SpOOkTaCuLaR Artists participating!!! http://dollirium.blogspot.com/ The show is put together by Dark Dolly Doll artist Jacqui Gallant of odddollz, who, now on top of everything else she does, has created this incredible Doll Gallery to showcase all things Dark and SpooKTaCuLar! The Gallery is located at, 1 Cliftonvale Ave London, Ontario Canada. If your in the area stop in a check out the offerings!
This is my little Darling I created for the show.
Madaline McCary who, with a voodoo spell, shrunk her little brother Harry!
Her shroud is created using antique victorian fabric from widows weeds. She is polymer clay over wire armature. Her little shrunken brother Harry is pin jointed. She has little skull buttons on her dress and shoes sculpted from clay. Included is a cast "Our Darling Plaque I took from an original casket plaque.
Madaline and Harry are available during the show, or contact Jacqui at odddollz@hotmail.com.

Memento Mori Theater Bust
I've created something a little different for the Ghosties. A little Memento Mori Theater display.
The idea was to do a bust of a Ghostie or something smaller that wouldn't take as much time as a full sized doll,...well it was a nice thought..., but after I did the bust I thought it needed a little something else, so I created the base from an old block of wood then covered it with vintage velvet. It still needed something more, so I took a mold from an old coffin plaque that said "our Darling" poured it in plaster, and added it to the front. I like that way it turned out, but felt it still needed something else, so I did the back drop for it from striped paper...it was kinda plain, so I thought it would look better to add a bit of theatrics to it. I photocopied some theater curtains from one of those dover books and hand colored them and added some details. It still needed something more, so I trimed it in the same old velvet as the base, made some curly decorations out of cardboard. I then molded another smaller "Our Darling" and attached it to the inside.
So my idea to create something that "wouldn't take me as long" as a full sized doll, actually took me longer to create than if I would have just done a doll! I never learn!
Molly Mercy Jane,
succumbed to an overdose of poison Henbane!
Over all the piece is 10 1/2" tall and 5" wide. Hope you like her!

GraveYard Goblin Ghostie!! OHHH Scary!!!
As I was out for an evening stroll in the cemetary, I came across some curious little fairy folk that co-habitated the place with the other spirits living there. Graveyard Goblins!!!!
Goblins never die they just grow pale with age! These particular little creatures love to tunnel under ground from grave to grave, which sometimes causes the ground to sink and headstones to tumble!!
This particualr ghostly goblin is "Stench" a jolly sort of guy!I've just listed him in my etsy shop if you'd like take a peek at him!
Stench stands 14" high to the top of his Stone Clay hat. I made his jacket from a remant of an 1880's victorian mourning jacket. I made him some nice little bone accessories and some eyeballs he wears on the tip of his shoes.

His dental care leaves something to be desired, (his teeth are sculpted from polymer clay) But he doesn't seem to mind much!
I hope you enjoy viewing him as much as I did making him...we had a good laugh!!

Ghosties and Goblins my newest on Etsy
Ms P looks like she's finally found what could be a long lost relative! The resemblance is uncanny!!
I had started sculpting a ball jointed doll when I was struck by a goblin attack! So I was force to put the bjd aside while this crazed creature came into being! His name is Fidget and he's in love with a poor little bunny that wasn't quite fast enough!
He's looking for a new home so I listed him in my Etsy shop. Please check him out!!
Fidget measures 9 1/2" and is free standing. Dressed in old goblin leathers and antique pieces of gypsy nomadic clothing, he's quite stylish for a goblin!

(Athough I have the urge to sculpt some goblin and elf busts so maybe the aren't finished with me yet)!!
