Good evening, all
 

Hello. I'm just an average dollmaker, with an interest in horror. Some of my favourite films include The Woman, Martyrs, and The Woman in Black. I know they are all fairly recent, but they are some of the best movies I have ever seen. Anyway, it is good to meet you all.

Welcome to the forum! :)

If that is one of your dolls in your Avatar I want one!! Do you sell them?Should I be scared of you incidentally?? a doll maker!!?*shudder*:eek:

Welcome-you should check out the original "The Woman In Black" from 1989 a chilling and genuinely scary movie one of my faves :)

That is indeed one of my dolls in my avatar. I was playing around, thinking about trying to put together an art show. I do sell them on Etsy. Fortunately for you, my dolls are made with crochet, which is probably less scary than, say, porcelain. However, at this moment I am surrounded by eight BJDs and a bunch of crocheted dolls that I have made.

I love it!! I need to have one in my life!!How do I go about buying one?.

Hi and welcome! :)

Thank you! I was saving this guy for a potential art show, but since that is so very hypothetical at the moment, I went ahead and listed him on my Etsy store. There is some of my other work in there as well on clearance as I rework my vision. I have been focusing on my decidedly not horrific Gossamer Girl dolls lately, out of hope that they would sell better.

Anyway, this guy is listed here. Thanks so much for your interest!

Ordered!!! Thankyou!!

Your doll looks like a cool creepy bundle of evil. Oh...and welcome. :D

I want pics of you and your new doll now. lol.

Its my doll now!!!x

Pix please...when you get the doll.

Yes Please!

Cayora: Doll Maker Of Death.

The next doll might just be....YOU!

I also agree! Please post pics!

Hee! I so need to focus more on my horror/goth dolls. That really made me smile.

Id deffo buy them.How about you make sweet old granny dolls/cute animals which open up like russian dolls or turn inside out and become eeeeevil in some way??

Check out this way cool doll that Cayora made. His name is Chalice and he is an eviscerated amputee crocheted art doll. How cool is that?!!

I bet your goth dolls would sell through the roof. There is a real market for them right now. All you need is some good marketing behind your creations.

You have convinced me. The next few things I make shall be goth/horror creatures. (I didn't need too much convincing. I've been doing not horror because I thought they'd sell better. I see I may be wrong.) The marketing, though, is the hard part for me. Thank you so much for the encouragement and kind words. And for posting Chalice. He is still one of my favourites. I should make some more like him.

welcome and enjoy :]

Welcome! I'm new myself. I've only been here a couple days, but so far this forum seems really cool. I think you'll like it.

Let me know when you get some cool goth dolls created. I'd like to see them. :)
Do you make special custom dolls for people?

I do. My Gossamer Girl dolls were designed to be custom, OOAK items. I would be happy to adapt the design to something more horrific. Also, if I can brag a little, I think they are just great dolls. Durable and cuddly and they can wear American Girl clothing, of which there is a lot available. They are kind of my take on the BJD. Or if you wanted something different, we could talk about it and work something out.

To return to the topic of the board somewhat, do any of you listen to Drabblecast? The produced an audio copy of my favourite doll-themed horror story ever.

It is called "Funeral Song for a Ventriloquist." It is one of the best short stories I've heard.

Drabblecast looks interesting. I am def going to check it out. :)

I will def get with you some day and we can hammer out some designs for a cool goth-like doll. Let me get some ideas together and I'll get back with you.
