Happy Halloween.......here's my TREAT to you!

I don't know about you but to me time seems to zip by so quickly, except when I'm waiting for Halloween then it seems to take forever to get here. Well today is the day and it is filled with fantasy and dreams of being what or who ever you choose to be. I can remember when an old sheet with eye holes cut out and some simple shading was considered a costume (thanks Casper). 

Now a days there are multi-million dollar businesses that cater to selling character costumes that will turn you into a Super Hero - Villain - favorite Disney character or the neighbor next door if you have the right $. What a great night it is for young and old alike!

Halloween..........it's Elvira time!

Another benefit of living and having my studio located in Las Vegas is knowing that Elvira lives right here in my town, just a stones throw away. 

In addition to our famous "Vegas Strip" with 24-7 gaming, world class dining, entertainment and a constant flow of major Celebs, we have Elvira as a local hanging out around our desert........pretty cool, eh! 

So one day I decide to pay tribute to her and create a miniature doll with a personality, face and figure that many of us remember fondly. To me Elvira has all three........she is a modern day beauty that draws a crowd whenever she makes an appearance in full character.

Elvira......Mistress of the Dark

Add a splash of color and you really catch her radiance

Of course it's a skull footstool

She's fully poseable so even in her beautiful black gown she can relax

I had fun designing her outfit, and fixing her hair

Even the Mistress of the Dark needs to catch 5 between camera takes

 I'd love to meet her in person some day and enjoy a chat over a cup of my special tea......yummm! My Etsy Shop is standing room only with miniature dolls of all sorts from Alice in Wonderland to dear Goode Witch Hattie. Please visit: LoreleiBlu Miniatures OOAK Signed Collector Art Dolls 

NO TRICK - I have a special announcement to share with you on Halloween that I hope you'll find a treat, stay tuned!

Grand High Witch....It's Her Perfect Week to Haunt!

There are all kinds of witches.....good ones, seasonal ones, not so good ones, career ones, helpful ones and evil ones............the Grand High Witch put the Ug in the Ugly one, don't ya think!

Most of the witches I create have a somewhat whimsical spooky look to them but recreating the Grand High Witch herself moves her to the very top on the LoreleiBlu spook-o-meter. There is nothing whimsical to the eye….she’s just plain nasty….like her character in the movie, Witches. She morphs from beautiful and pleasant, into one scary dame, right before your eyes. Now that's what I call movie magic. 

Angelica Houston is one of my favorite actresses and in real life everything about her spells class. But when in character….everything about her as a witch spelled “look away before I takes your eyesight”. 

What a dame…..the Witch of Witches for sure. This Halloween keep an eye out for her, while you still can! If you like witches and you have not seen the movie of same name........it's a must.  I really enjoyed being commissioned to create the Grand High Witch in all her nightmarish glory for one of my very special collectors.......how about you, what's your fancy?

This time of year my Etsy Shop has a full crew of witches and other wonderful characters hoping to become part of your miniature fantasy world. Hold hands with a like minded friend, enter my world of creations and enjoy shopping for your OOAK  certified and signed new best friend  Visit LoreleiBlu Miniatures on Etsy

Frankie and his Misses...........they're back!

What comes to mind when you hear the name Frankenstein? A science experiment, big guy with a flattop and stitches all over, tortured soul with a second chance to breathe life into his world, Boris Karloff (dating myself). And what about his wife, Mrs. Frankie, she developed a personality of her own, a real trend setter with attitude.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Frankenstein have been part of my creations for some time. It's been fun getting to know their story from when I was just a little girl and then many years later having the opportunity to keep their legend alive by being commissioned to create my vision of the handsome couple for a valued collector that reached out to me through LoreleiBlu Miniatures!

Frankie and his mate were scary way before Hollywood developed the kind of special effects that now makes one fear entire countries not just things that go bump in the night.

Here's Frank - the face that launched a thousand nightmares

And Mrs. Frankenstein is a beauty

Although Mr. and Mrs.Frankenstein now live a happy life at a dear collector friend of mine in Michigan...you'll find plenty of other spooky vampires, witches, Muertos, skulls and other items that will make the hair on the back of your neck stand tall. Visit LoreleiBlu Miniatures on Etsy

And if you're trick or treating with the kids this Halloween in that fine State of Michigan, just remember the Frankensteins might answer the door you knock on next. Be scared.............be very scared!  Happy Haunting to all.

Pheasant Under Glass...........nope, A SKULL!

Although creating dolls is my favorite artistic passion I wanted to mix up my studio production time  so I started creating skulls in  glass domes (sounds like a new TV Sci-Fi series). 

Sculpting each doll from a solid block of polymer clay (no molds used, ever, to create my dolls) and making them poseable are major talents I use in my creative process. That, along with full original costuming breathes life into my OOAK characters. However.....halloween time is perfect to add new products for my collectors.

With my Skull in a Glass Dome series, I distress each skull one at a time and design a personality for these wonderful resin skulls (from Cathy's Minis). My vision starts from the neck up which forces my creative process to totally focus on styling hair, neck and facial dressings to achieve the look I'm going for. And boy do I have fun at my studio "beauty shop" designing them!

Here are a few examples of OOAK fantasy skulls I've created:

Lucy the Vampire from Bram Stoker's Novel - Dracula

Marie Antoinette

Life of the party - Marie and her beautiful hair style

Mermaid Skull

Mermaid Skull (close up) - A Real Conversation Piece

Dia Los Mueros Skull

Imagine how fun it will be to decorate a room in your doll house or room box with an original Skull in a Glass Dome this Halloween. There's time to do it if you move quickly. Visit LoreleiBlu Miniatures on Etsy

Make your Halloween doll house collection very special now and for years to come with a little of your own skullduggery.........in a glass dome, priceless!

Pre-Party Prep..........my newest Dia Los Muertos creation!

Just two weeks before Halloween and then add one day and it's the celebrated Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de Muertos) a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico, in particular the Central and South regions, and by people of Mexican ancestry living in other places, especially the United States.

As the pre-party starts up in my miniatures studio here in Vegas a new member of LoreleiBlu Miniatures has made her way to center stage. 

Please meet and welcome Esperansa:

All Dressed up and ready to celebrate

A Night Fairy Can Be Very Scary............or NOT!

A long time ago in a land right here in the West, I had a party in my Secret Garden and that's when the idea to create my first Night Fairy came to mind. With my garden filled with a favorite gathering of friends we took a vote and all decided that a new breed of fairy should be introduced into our circle. 

And here she is.....meet Sabrina The Night Fairy:

She is a beautiful bat-winged wonder of sheer elegance

Dressed in fine color-changing silk adorned with black crepe silk sleeves

Her sculpted corset was my favorite to create

And oh I had such fun designing and making her faux black onyx and pewter pendant with Swarovski crystal displayed at the tip. To add to her fantasy I added a copper waist chain with her two most valuable keys and I topped her off with a fitting metal ax/sword/wand combo to keep all those in your Secret Garden on their toes. 

Speaking of toes......wait till you see the beautiful purple silk shoes I created and fitted her with! Head to toe she is fully poseable and hauntingly gorgeous, wouldn't you agree!

Sabrina is in my Etsy shop (more pictures there) and ready to fly around and protect your house this Halloween.....there is still time if  you act fast. I hope you're the luck collector that gets her. Visit LoreleiBlu Miniatures on Etsy

Witchy Woman......Your Time is Now!

Three weeks from today the streets will be teaming with screaming kids and parents alike. Another Halloween is almost here and what a treat it is for tricksters, fortune tellers, witches, ghouls and your favorite super hero goblins.......yummy!

It's a day where I could be anyone or anything I wanted to be. Maybe a princess....or a hobo riding the rails...or a cartoon character...or my favorite actor - villain or hero. The world was my stage and I so loved playing all the parts. And years later I turned my love for fantasy, mystery and the element of "I can be anyone I want to be" into my miniature creations. It's all at my fingertips and I sure do have fun creating for me...and for my collectors.

Here is an example.......meet Chloe:

                                 Here is my friend Chloe Dragonflower

                   Chloe is a Fortune Teller Witch who can read your mind

Chloe is a reader of life, past and future and she'll share her findings with you
   (on sale in my Etsy Shop, along with many other special-talent friends)

Her tools of the trade are her sixth sense, tarot cards,Ouija board and all of life's lessons she has experienced through her years of uncovering the answers to the questions many of us have.......haunting, isn't it!

Please visit my LoreleiBlu Miniatures on Etsy  and share it with your friends, they'll thank you for it and I thank you in advance!
