Blackbird Marmalade Creations

bleaknimue's Shop Announcement

Hallo!

I'm Jane. I make art dolls and other crafty things as the muse leads me. I blend natural and man made materials with found objects and whimsy for my creations.

All dolls have teeth and tongues even if their mouths are closed, except for some bugthings and fishers. ^__^

I'm inspired by the cracks in the sidewalk, the bugs in the rotting stump down the way, and the alien worlds I see in the dying embers of a bonfire. I'm inspired by silliness! And that sick feeling of dread you feel when you know something is about to go Horribly Wrong.

You know that feeling you get when the sheets just don't quite cover your toes and you can almost feel the claws pick pick picking at them and it makes you shiver and curl up in a little ball so that none of you is near the edges of the bed? Yeah that feeling is one that I'd really like to capture.

I tend to twist around every book I read and movie I watch, and change the stories in my head. I add things and take things out and then compost them into my idea bank to rot for a while and fertilize for other things to grow.

All of the fur I use is recycled from other items and the leather is bought as scrap. The eyes are semi-precious stones and the bones are found objects and I try and identify them if I can.

I also will ship anywhere, just ask me and I'll calculate the cost. ^__^

New! You can sign up for announcements of new dolls, art show appearances and works in progress at google groups here:
