Etsy Finds: Mandragora doll with glow-in-the-dark eyes

Today's Etsy Find comes from Nuitblanche, aka Caroline Gaedechens of Hamburg, Germany.  I have been following her on Etsy since she joined, and really think you all might enjoy her work too. I first became enchanted with her after seeing her glow-in-the-dark monster magnets, or glühmonster as they are called in her native tongue.  I especially love this vampire werewolf with game show host hair.


 
From there I moved on to her work on paper, and really came to appreciate her artistic sensibilities. I find no fault with anybody who draws bears with the snake-like, eyeball emanations.

 

That said, you can only imagine my pleasure when she added these plush mandrake dolls.



My wife and I have three little Godchildren, and they will all be getting one of these badboys come X-mas.  Whether it is magnets, prints or dolls, I hope you all take a look at Nuitblanche's work. To me is just has a vibe that is original, yet possesses echoes of traditional Inuit art and more modern creators like Marcel Dzama and Henry Darger (two of my favorites.)
