Welcome and thank you so much for visiting. :)
.
All of my dolls are 100% handmade and no moulds are ever used.
My characters, mythological and folk tale creatures, dark silhouettes, dreadful witches, doomed ghosts and circus figures, blossom from a magical world, of a past and a future that has never existed.
Secrets and stories are hidden within the expressions of my creatures, which are lifting the veil of our world, revealing the parallel universe of grotesque, peculiar, whimsical and anthropomorphic oddities - an entry into the unknown.
What I love most about my work is the connection that creates between me and the world, collectors, artists, and everyone that supports and encourages my artistic endeavours. It's truly a magical thing: when my work resonates with people on a deeply emotional, almost subconscious level, leaving space for interpretation through the metaphors and symbolisms integrated in my dolls and stories. It feels as if we're all weaving our most well-hidden secrets into the fabric of this world, each one telling their own tales and narratives, and altogether telling a bigger story.

5 out of 5 starsI absolutely adore my MARGAUX ~ The Silent Ringmistress 🎪🖤♥️🖤🎪 She is an exquisitely detailed OOAK Art Doll, lovingly made for me by the beautiful artist Ioanna, who kindly listened to what I would love in a doll, and then created this gorgeous girl just for me. ♥️ Margaux is very unique and full of personality, and comes with her own wonderful story, written from the amazing imagination of her creator. I cannot recommend this artist and her divine creations more highly. 💖💖💖💖💖
