Elizabeth - hand-crafted unique dolls & more @elizabethdollmaker.bsky.social · Sep 29
This is Agatha Whisper, a Victorian Spiritual Medium. From a young age she has seen many things that others can not. Her different world view has kept her isolated from her peers, she is known as an 'Old Soul'. 👻🔮🕯️

I made dolls of some of the characters from Jamie W Clennett's stunning graphic novel The Diemenois shortly after reading it - the art style and story are haunting. Highly recommend. #art #artdolls #graphicnovels

An interpretive doll I made a few years back of Poison Ivy. Wanted to make her very plant and insect like - more so than human. #poisonivy #artdoll

I have made a few Moon themed pieces, most of them are a bit creepy, so here is a cute one!
I have put a few of my plush, dolls and paintings up for sale on gumtree (link in my bio, Australia only).

Took me years to make this 'King in Yellow' doll 😅 I sculpted the head, hands and crown in 2004 with no idea about making the body. In 2016 pulled the pieces out of a box, re-painted and created the body! He hangs near a window where the breeze flows through his tattered gown. #horrorart #horrordoll

I made this Nosferatu doll back in 2018. He was adopted by a twelve year old boy who was collecting classic horror characters. He spent his birthday money to buy it. I too was a collector of horror at that age, was happy to see it go to good home. #nosferatu #horrordoll #horrorart

Join me and @grumpyandrew.bsky.social as we pass each other the runes and invoke Jacques Tourneur's NIGHT OF THE DEMON (1957) for the series-finale episode of The Thriller Cabinet Podcast.

Available via Spotify, Apple, and here:
thethrillercabinet.libsyn.com
Illustrated poster for the 1957 film NIGHT OF THE DEMON. Against a stormy night sky, the head and shoulders of a demon dominates the image. His body is dark and shaggy, his ears and horns pointy, and his red-lipped mouth open, with a look of mad glee in his glowing eyes. At the bottom right, a man and woman cower in fear, looking upwards apprehensively...

I love the game, 'Don't Starve' by Klei Entertainment, and made these dolls of 'Webster' and 'Wendy' -- Wendy has her sister 'Abigail' in plush form as a ghost. Still play Shipwrecked, should made some characters from that! #fanart #dontstarve #quirkydolls #feltplush
A fuzzy furred doll with a spider head and webbed beard stands on a wood disk, which is on a round grey felt mat. At the dolls feet is a sculpted spider egg. A doll stands beside a ghost shaped felt plush on a dark grey felt mat.

I occasionally modify dolls for fun - here is a mod of Mezco's mega scale 'The Curse of La Ilorona'. She is now called Yvette and I wrote a little story of ghostly revenge for her. #ghost #doll #dollart

This is Violet Elemental - an experimental doll I made a few years back, inspired by my love of purple. I wanted to make her alien like. #artdoll #purple

Just a little throwback to a sculpture I did of 'The Count' a few years bck. He was one of my favourite characters when I was a kid, doing the 'Batty Bat' made me giddy! #sculpture #textileart #art #thecount
Sculpture of The Count with faux tree, bats and greenry on a wood block. Beside him is more faux greenery and decorative plate on a wall.

Just a little photoshoot with the three dolls I made in September and October. Making large dolls has been a wonderful challenge and I am proud of how these three have turned out. I used to fear sewing, especially using a machine, and now I enjoy making epic gowns! #artdoll #creepydoll #art
Three dolls, two on a stand and one below. The stand has various decorations on and around it - faux greenery, framed images, ghost shaped fairy lights, netting, doll couch and faux bird skeleton. There is a ledge in the brick wall that has a mirror, candle and glass ball on a red cloth. Two dolls on a stand.

This is my latest creation, a ghost who was once known as Lillian Ennui. Lillian has been haunting her family estate for so long, that the inhabitants have grown used to her, so she drifts listlessly and without purpose. A rather melancholy afterlife.
A scene set up before a brick wall. A ghost doll sits amongst a grave, a candle and various faux flora, on a stand that has ghost lights and faux flora. There are assorted frames, a vase with faux flowers, a skull with faux flowers, a doll couch and a halloween crystal ball at the base. On a ledge above is a tall mirror, a candle, a crystal ball with a red cloth and more faux greenery. A scene set up before a brick wall.

Next month on The Thriller Cabinet Podcast:

"It's in the trees! It's coming!"
A black and white photographic image of a woodland by night. In the centre of the image, striding towards the camera, is an enormous creature backlit by light and smoke. It's a little too far away to see clearly, but seems to have horns, possibly wings too, and definitely looks malevolent...
