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'. 👻🔮🕯️

This is Olivia, a doll I made back in 2019 - she was inspired by the wonderful Halloween quilting fabric I found that year 🎃

We take to the high seas on next month's episode of The Thriller Cabinet podcast. I'm sure the resident marine life will take kindly to our excursion...

Coming Soon!

I have Ring, Loop and Spiral and enjoyed them. I haven't read S yet. I think the changes the film made were a good choice. I posted the doll I made to my page her if you would like to take a look :)

I made a doll of Sadako as she is a very unique 'Villain'. Love those films -- the original Japanese series that is. Have you read the books? They are quite different.

Seen as a fraud, the shows Agatha puts on is intended to protect the very real spirits she communicates with, for she does not trust the living to respect the visiting deceased.
Agatha is my creative guide, so you will see her around.
