This is Agatha Whisper, a Victorian Spiritual Medium. From a young age she has seen many things that others can not. Her different world view has kept her isolated from her peers, she is known as an 'Old Soul'. 👻🔮🕯️
I made this Nosferatu doll back in 2018. He was adopted by a twelve year old boy who was collecting classic horror characters. He spent his birthday money to buy it. I too was a collector of horror at that age, was happy to see it go to good home. #nosferatu #horrordoll #horrorart

I love the game, 'Don't Starve' by Klei Entertainment, and made these dolls of 'Webster' and 'Wendy' -- Wendy has her sister 'Abigail' in plush form as a ghost. Still play Shipwrecked, should made some characters from that! #fanart #dontstarve #quirkydolls #feltplush

I occasionally modify dolls for fun - here is a mod of Mezco's mega scale 'The Curse of La Ilorona'. She is now called Yvette and I wrote a little story of ghostly revenge for her. #ghost #doll #dollart

This is Violet Elemental - an experimental doll I made a few years back, inspired by my love of purple. I wanted to make her alien like. #artdoll #purple

Just a little throwback to a sculpture I did of 'The Count' a few years bck. He was one of my favourite characters when I was a kid, doing the 'Batty Bat' made me giddy! #sculpture #textileart #art #thecount

Coming this Wednesday to the Haunted UK Fiction podcast, a chilling story by S.C. Fisher titled Mother Never Liked Dead Things that sent a proper shiver down our spines!

Just a little photoshoot with the three dolls I made in September and October. Making large dolls has been a wonderful challenge and I am proud of how these three have turned out. I used to fear sewing, especially using a machine, and now I enjoy making epic gowns! #artdoll #creepydoll #art

This is my latest creation, a ghost who was once known as Lillian Ennui. Lillian has been haunting her family estate for so long, that the inhabitants have grown used to her, so she drifts listlessly and without purpose. A rather melancholy afterlife.

This is 'Graveyard Gary', a little diorama sculpture I made back in 2023. He sits on a handpainted wood coaster. I made a doll version of him in 2024 as I loved making such a decorative head! #art #creepyart #horror #halloween

As Sherlock-Holmes-vs-Jack-The-Ripper film A STUDY IN TERROR (1965) was released 60 years ago this month, here's my piece for Rue Morgue comparing & contrasting it with Bob Clark's similarly-themed MURDER BY DECREE (1979):

I was inspired to make this (over a meter tall) La Catrina soft sculpture/doll after attending a Latin American festival, where I saw a woman dressed as her throwing marigolds to the crowd. The gown is red satin wiith hand painted details. #dayofthedead #catrina #art #artdoll
