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.

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.

Happy Haunting from LoreleiBlu and my band of Witches! LoreleiBlu Miniatures Etsy Shop Browse-Buy-Enjoy

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
