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.

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.

Which Witch is Which.....take your pick! Part 1

Halloween is just a Witch's wish away and when it comes to creating a Witch it's all about the magick born into the character. I create each Witch individually with their own story to share. My Witches all come with their own wand, spells, flying machine (broom) and other personal accessories to suit the character.

                                             Meet Morwenna Mandrake

                                              And Trixie Nightshade

                         Oh, let us not forget Pegean Foxglove the Summer Witch

I've been creating OOAK miniatures for 12 years and the best part of the entire process for me is when I start the costuming design and build for all of my handmade creations. All 3 of my special Witches above are in my Etsy shop and ready to fly your way with a few simple clicks. Each is 5.5 inches tall, gently poseable, comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and will be a fantastic addition or starter to any collection. My Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/LoreleiBlu
