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
A fuzzy furred doll with a spider head and webbed beard stands on a wood disk, which is on a round grey felt mat. At the dolls feet is a sculpted spider egg. A doll stands beside a ghost shaped felt plush on a dark grey felt mat.

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
Sculpture of The Count with faux tree, bats and greenry on a wood block. Beside him is more faux greenery and decorative plate on a wall.

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
Three dolls, two on a stand and one below. The stand has various decorations on and around it - faux greenery, framed images, ghost shaped fairy lights, netting, doll couch and faux bird skeleton. There is a ledge in the brick wall that has a mirror, candle and glass ball on a red cloth. Two dolls on a stand.

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.
A scene set up before a brick wall. A ghost doll sits amongst a grave, a candle and various faux flora, on a stand that has ghost lights and faux flora. There are assorted frames, a vase with faux flowers, a skull with faux flowers, a doll couch and a halloween crystal ball at the base. On a ledge above is a tall mirror, a candle, a crystal ball with a red cloth and more faux greenery. A scene set up before a brick wall.

First up is Ghost Stories from 2017, by Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman. Made this doll inspired by the first segment of the film in 2020.
Then, we have the French series Marianne from 2019 by Samuel Bodin. Made this doll in 2020. #horror #art

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

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

The creator has an art style that has been interesting to replicate in various forms of sculpture, using frames, glass dishes and resin to create a 3D version of their work.
If you have a taste for very dark horror, with a chilling mystery at its heart, please check out the series.
Pictured is a doll with long dark hair and a white gown sitting beside a glass dish with a sculptured floating head in some resin.

I have made many Halloween themed bears over the years - this is one I made last year. I love giving them crazy faces to make people laugh. It seems to work when they are encountered! #plush #bear #halloweendecorating

You can look through the bottom of her moss riddled gown to see her treestump shoes.
Her broom is made from natural materials found in my garden.

This is Belladonna.
She features tiny handsculpted and painted fungi, Belladonna flower and fruits.
I added lace to the top of her hat, so when light shines through it resembles a forest canopy silhouette. A delicate lace spider is swinging from the top.

Here is some non-doll halloween art - just a little pumpkin in a field. The pumpkin is sculpted and attached to a hand-painted canvas. It is available to buy - dm for details. #art #sculpture #painting #halloween
