Windup to Spooky Town!

It was just the other day that one of my collectors asked me where I come up with my ideas to create from the bazaar to the beautiful and all things in between. My answer.....my dreams lead my way!

I'm very fortunate to have a vivid imagination.....have had since I was a kid and I put it to work for me every time I sit at my studio console to create!. From the fantasy side of life to the real 40's and 50's I enjoy building my dreams in clay and then dressing them with lovely fabrics that compliment and tell the story of the character.

Here's another example....meet the one and only (drum roll please): 

I present Vampire Martine Ravenblood

From her Mad Hatters Hat to her micro bead button boots

Dessed in fine silk with all the special touches

Hair of black and silver viscose with removable hat and crystal topped cane 

Martine Ravenblood is another very special OOAK Vampire Witch that I so enjoyed creating for your special doll house, room box, castle or witch's cottage. She is fully posable and dressed with the flair and style that my miniature dolls are known for. To see more pictures of Martine and to enjoy cruising my Etsy Shop just waive and click your magic mouse here.

New Year.........Even More Magic and Fun!

So how much time do you enjoy the things that give you PLEASURE? If you're like most you've done plenty for others over the years and didn't carve out much fun just for you!

Here's a new way to look at 2018, "in order to change the output I must change the input". Making the time for YOU and investing more of it with your miniature world is healthy....look at it as your own personal therapist and the big difference is you're in control and can visit any time you allow yourself to not sweat the small stuff in your life.

I'm living proof of it, I decided to fully remodel one of my larger doll houses and I'm having a ball creating a new environment for my miniature friends. In fact we had a party not long ago to celebrate Burns night in my remodel....check it out:

It’s Burns night in the doll house. The miniature beings who live there love any reason to celebrate and Burns night is one of their favorites. 

They toast The Bard with a wee dram of whiskey and partake of a lovely haggis! 

It is a wonderful way to keep out the cold of a winters evening and enjoy the beautiful words of himself Robert Burns. As they gather together you can hear them say, “Sla’inte mhath! 

Therapy.....yes sir, it's a grand way to escape from the day to day stuff we all get stuck in at times and to let the fantasy come back into our life, even if only for short bursts of time. My doll houses are one of the things that keep me grounded so I still see my craft as a labor of love, something I look forward to doing and sharing with other artists and collectors the world over.

So take a break to explore what makes you feel like a kid again...could be that dropping in on my Etsy Shop  will give  you that feeling of fantasy. I always have the kettle on and would be delighted to share a proper cup a tea with you!

What's a Buhgeeber, you ask!

Prior to stepping into the world of creating OOAK miniatures (5 inch dolls) I designed dolls in the 10 inch to 14 inch size. There were Fairies, Flower Sellers from England's days gone by, Angry Housewives and a number of other special dolls including a series of what I call "Buhgeebers.

It all started by luck....Buhgeebers are fun whimsical ladies and gents I created that are fearless inventors, have special features, enjoy a flair for drama, make one smile and border on the edge of silly-fantasy. I owe it all to my Husband who one day got spooked by me showing up at our back door un-announced and said "hi" just as he was going out that same door. It startled him and caused him to say "wife, you scared the buhgeebers out of me!" After a good laugh together (and a few other colorful words said by him that I won't repeat) my mind started on another tour of inventing...what would a Buhgeeber look like I wondered.

"What the heck say you, how will I recognize them?" Glad you asked, instead of telling you, let me introduce you.........voila: 

Meet Mr. Buhgeeber

Miss Buhgeeber

A Buhgeeber waiting for Godot 

Uncle Edgar

Uncle Edgar with Annabelle Lee

Uncle Charlie

Socially Hip Buhgeebers poolside

......and let us not forget our Senior Citizen Granny

I parted with a few early on but we liked them so much I decided to keep some of them around as friends who made us smile. They helped keep our focus on the lighter more adventurous side of life. Well with the election behind us let's re-focus back on fantasy that makes us laugh...or at least smile. So I've decided it's time to send a few of my little friends off to other parts of the world to do what they do best.........lighten the load for collectors who dare to dream, like to smile and enjoy thinking of a life filled with adventure and magical wonder.

Now keep in mind my Buhgeebers ARE NOT MINIATURE DOLL SIZE; they are larger art dolls, fully poseable at 10 TO 14 INCHES TALL (varies by the doll) and as always Certificate guaranteed as a one-of-a-kind original creation by me, LoreleiBlu. 

Take a good look a these wonderful characters above and move quickly if you want a Buhgeeber to show up on your doorstep before the New Year. They come from a very limited series and at $285 USD each, they won't be around very long! Some of those pictured above are gone and some others available are not all shown so just click to email me requesting which are up for adoption on this link: Buhgeebers up for adoption and I'll respond with pictures and availability promptly. 

And remember shipping for the USA and Canada is FREE through this month of November......it's a double win for my collectors. Visit my Etsy Shop, Buhgeebers and the world of Miniature Dolls too

Having said all that, I'm working on another surprise for a LoreleiBlu Black Friday that I'll let out of my creative bag by Thanksgiving so  stay tuned to my blog.

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

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

It's all in the details

What makes a one of a kind poseable collectible doll desireable.........the artist has to pay attention to every little detail to make it special. Since all my designs - heads, faces, hands, feet, hair, shoes, costumes and accessories are never duplicated I create the look I want in in my head first and then build my character to realize my vision. 

The end result is that my dolls and accessories have to please me first or they wind up moving in to the assisted living doll house for unwanted flops, never to be seen by my selective collectors. If it doesn't pass my expectations and tell a simple but exciting backstory it joins the LoreleiBlu scrap pile.

Here are a few examples of what I mean by "the devil is in the details";

               Here's a hat made for a special, not every day common Witch

          
       And shoes that make a statement of class and style, not just foot covers

   I create full costumes to set a mood and style that compliments the character

                                           Head to toe, front to back

My buying trip for finding unique exquisite vintage and classic materials along with other treasures to create many more wonderful characters is coming to an end this week, it's been a great one! I'll be back at my studio controls next week to once again jump head first into creating OOAK Art Dolls with details that delight. Stay tuned for many more creations in the weeks ahead that will inspire and further develop your desire for the unusual.
