Steamie Halloween ;) Preview Day!

Preview Day is here again and I am taking a simpler approach.. ;D

Gonna put up a bunch of pics of my New Art Dolls! I am so excited about these. I have not created Dia de los muertos dolls in awhile. These girls just spoke to me! They have removable hats and bright colors that I adore.

Now I have 2 finished and here for preview day but I have one more in the wings. I have not been creating my usual 3's and it's been bugging me it is like I am not complete. I usually have the 3rd ready to go but there isn't enough time to finish or something just get's in the way. So I want this 3rd girl to get listed Monday lol so I am breaking my own protocol lolol.

These girls have leather boots and straw hats that have skulls ribbons and flowers. The hats are removable.

Steamie Halloween Girls. 

I have 3 yes 3 Steampunk Witches. lol And these girls I love too! They just fell into place. I had in my mind that I wanted to do 3 witches. Daughter Autumn just read William Shakespeare's play Macbeth and we were looking up famous paintings of the 3 witches or weird sisters. And well I have 3 daughters I can relate to the weird sister part haha. So they hit a spot with me. Done in Steampunk style with their own little story of course ;) These Girls have leather boots and metal chains and little metal embellishments. They have pointy hats that re not removable.

There were 3 witches in The Colony Neav, Aven and Maka. They traveled freely throughout the lands because most feared them and their powers. Although pleasant in sight they were not pleasant in acquisition of what they desired.

Neav~185$ usd~ Sold

Neav the Eldest was known to have the power of Time Travel and could venture only towards the past. She had seen what had transpired to bring forth the great grey clouds that had made the earth so cold. 

Aven~185$ usd~Sold

Aven the deceptive sister conjured up apparitions to torment The Colony. She was not so much cruel but felt a good scare was in order from time to time. 

Maka~185$ usd~Sold

Maka the youngest and least vindictive of the 3, had the vision to see into the future. She was pensive but not without an aura of misgiving. 

Faye~175$ usd~Sold

Faye wanted friends who would listen to her woes.

She had a friend or two and a dog named "Bows". 

Sure they listened, but did they really care what she said? 

Sometimes she just felt like she was talking to the dead.

Kae~175$ usd~Sold

Kae didn't like to be messed with. Her plans were solid as a rock. If you toy with her plans you can be sure she will find you and make your day unpleasant.

So Let us begin :D 

Batilda wasn't interested in the night or blood or eternal life. She really just wanted to sit and read a good book. 

Batilda can either be hung by the ribbon atop her head or placed sitting 

75.00 usd~ SOLD

Linsey was fond of the outdoors. The meadows in the fall when the warm air touched her face and the rustle of the grass as it toasted in the afternoon sun was her very favorite place to be. That is where they found her nestled under a tree and that is where they buried her.

Linsey can either be hung by the ribbon atop her head or placed sitting 

85.00 usd

Imogene kept her words to a minimum never wanting to speak out of turn. She was taught that a lady keeps her thoughts to herself. But she has a few tales she is willing to tell when the time is right.

165.00 usd~SOLD

Jolene was not sure where she should go. Should she stay in her town with the people that saw her as a kind beautiful young woman and the husband who felt she could do no wrong. Or should she leave because she knows she is not any of that.

When she looks in the mirror she sees an ugliness, an ugliness that is seeping to the outside and she does not know how to stop it.

165.00 usd

Mercia was found in the garden one afternoon. Roses in hand and no bloom on her face. Her father the Butcher was fond of saying "she wore the bloom right out of them roses with her beauty".

A simple minded man no one really knew what he meant 

Mercia can either be hung by the ribbon atop her head or placed sitting 

85.00 usd~SOLD

Vi had a job cleaning the floors at the florist. She helped her family put food on the table with that small job. One rainy spring day the roof started to leak. Puddles were everywhere and Vi had to mop, bring in the buckets and dump them out. All of a sudden she slipped and fell. Poor Vi was no more.

Vi can either be hung by the ribbon atop her head or placed sitting 

85.00 usd~SOLD

Magge is spending Halloween just hanging around. Her family made her stay outside because she cannot keep her fingers out of the candy. 

Magge can either be hung by the ribbon atop her head or placed sitting 

75.00 usd~SOLD

Carli thought she would be done with the circus by the end of Summer. She traveled all across the country, slept in strange places and met many new faces. This is only temporary I will be close to home and can sneak away she figured. Carli never even got close to home. No money to get there and left to her own devices she wasn't going anywhere. 

Carli can either be hung by the ribbon atop her head or placed sitting 

75.00 usd~SOLD

Thanks so much for having a look at my newest Dolls

Some WiP Pics Rocking Horse

Here is my little rocking horse I picked up at a yard sale. I'm not much of a yard sale person but I stopped and this guy was calling me ;) His music box works and all. The lady must of thought it was an antique of great value; she was a bit upset when I told her I planned to repaint him, till I pointed out the made in Taiwan sticker hehe 

He had acrylic yarn and fake leather tack. Ripped all that off and sanded him down. He got a new coat of black ;) 

His mane and tail are Beautiful Suri Alpaca.

New Leather Tack and New painted trim ;)

Even a bow on his butt! 

  I wind him up again and realize he plays "its a small world"!haha

I think he needs a few little people riding him in honor of his song ;)

Poppy Poupee Could bring the crowds to a roar with laughter. She knew how to turn on the charm and have them begging for more. But only on stage was Poppy this confident and only on stage could she imagine her life. Few have seen Poppy away from the Cirque and I dare say few ever will.

285.00 usd~Sold

Some say Black cats crossing your path are bad luck. Ella thought exactly the opposite. Life was getting a little crazy till the day Stickers crossed her path. Now she wouldn't dream of a day without her

Farrell has been living alone for a long time. Dark nights and creepy noises no longer frighten her.  Actually the creatures of the night are her only solice. She longs for human companionship but none dare venture where Farrell resides.

195.00 usd~Sold

Isa was Tired of trying to get her spells and charms to work. She studied and studied but could not get it down the right way. Always a pinch too much crushed bones or an eyelash too few.  Isa just wanted to rest.

195.00 usd~Sold

Moll was curious about life. She wondered why some were so fortunate and lead lives of fulfillment and she had such a modest life. She felt confused at the idea that this was all there was for her. She dreamed of another life for herself and thought if she dreamt hard enough it would come to her. She still had faith and believed that somehow it could happen.

155.00 usd~Sold

Penelope fell once while riding her trike.

She landed so hard on an old rusty spike.

6 months was her sentence in bed she could be found.

There was nothing to do but rustle around..

Tired of drawing and reading books. 

Friends grew tired too of her stares and long looks.

After many long days of loneliness she cried

Mother if something doesn't change I fear I may die

Finally mother presented her one day with a gift

A fine pink brush to give her spirits a lift

She brushed her hair everyday with the pretty pink brush.

Her hair grew longer and pinker and more beautiful and lush.

Soon all of her friends were there by her side.

Its my turn they chimed please let us give it a try.

155.00 usd~Sold

The night was cold and Julienne sat waiting on her porch. He had never been late before what could of happened. The wind blew crisply and ran a chill up her arms. She listened intently for the sound of gravel crunching under tires. But all she heard was the rustle of leaves in the breeze.

305.00 usd~Sold

Some time ago Christabel realized that life or the lack of life is what you make it. 

Every night she plays a game; she waits patiently for her victims to fall into her web of deceit. 

She starts with a bit of conversation, perhaps a complement or a chat about the weather. Her victims gaze into her eyes and are transfixed. She can make them do or say whatever she wants. Christabel loves to play with her food. ;)

Vampire Art Doll~ Christabel approx. 12" length 

215.00 usd~ SOLD

Katinka is from the old country where Vampires are but a tale told by grandmothers and scared children see visions of bloody corpses in their dreams. 

But Katinka is more than a dream, she roams the night and feeds when she likes. Children beware Katinka may steal the night from you. ;)

Vampire Art Doll ~Katinka approx. 12" length

Clea thought she would find some friends at clown school. They would have to like her they all had so much in common. She came up with her own act but they balked at that. She changed up her costume but they sneered at that too. What was Clea to do? She was just being herself but felt they may never accept her.

Clea The Clown~approx. 12' length

165.00 usd~SOLD
