Vivian New Art Doll

Meet Vivian. Vivian hides in the abandoned warehouse, afraid to join the rebellion but even more afraid that the Evil Soul Sucker will find her there...
epoxy over an armature. Her legs are jointed, and slightly pose-able. Her right arm is made from a skeleton key that says heart on it, there is also a vintage brass button. Her left arm is made from some weird found object that I sculpted the upper arm on, there is a vintage brass button at the top, also black lace for her sleeve. She wears a black velvet choker with a vintage watch piece centered on it. The base of her hat is a faux watch face, cork, lace, a feather and topped with a filigree brass piece. Her left eye is brown glass. Her right eye is a vintage watch piece made by Elgin. On her chest is a found little brass colored clock that I distressed to look old. Her clothes are hand stitched and not removable. I hand painted (her corset is also painted on) her in layers and sealed her with a matte finish.

Gail New Work

Meet Gail. She is really sick of her sister always snickering and poking fun at her, so today while they were making paper dolls, when her sister laughed at her dolls, the monster within took over. Next thing Gail knew the scissors in her hand where in her sisters back. That made her stop laughing.

Gail is 7 1/2" long x 2 1/2" x 2 1/2". She can sit on her own or you can hang her, either from a tree or just some place special. She is hand sculpted from polymer clay. Her legs and arms are movable. She has vintage watch parts on her face. Her left eye is a piece of glass I hand painted. In her left hand is a pair of silver scissors. I painted her in layers with acrylic paints, she is sealed with a matte finish. Her dress is black velvet with vintage lace trim, hand sewn (not removable).

Soul Suckers-Meet Steampunk Edna

Thank you Kelly for asking about the Soul Sucker story! Made my creative heart jump for joy that someone was waiting to hear about them!! So just for you I decided to go ahead and post the pictures of Edna.

Meet Edna, she was one of the first to be captured by the Soul Sucker and his army of Shoulds and Regrets. Poor Edna, they replaced her body parts with mechanical things so they could feed off of her creativity and power their castle of Corporation. But Edna was smarter than the Shoulds and Regrets that were the gaurds. One night she only pretended to take the pills they handed out to keep the prisioners in a zombie state and then she used her skeleton key arm to unlock the door to her cell and releasing as many prisoners as she could before escaping. Now Edna has made herself a helmet out of watch parts and is joining the rebellion to rid their once kind and creative land from the evil Soul Sucker and his army.

Edna is 6" tall and her helmet is removable. Made with paperclay, watch parts, bolts, paint, and love ;o)

I added some pictures of when she was being created, thought you all might like to see. I always love seeing works in progress :o) There are many more characters coming soon and even a few ornaments :o) I'm going to list them in my etsy shop and possibly ebay. Thanks again Kelly!! xo Michele
