Description
PLEASE do not use this image anywhere for any reason without consulting me personally.This is the work of my hands
and many many LONG hours.
His name is Kesh the Goblin Prince, and he is very dear to me.
His body is wooden joints, with a spring tension system, and that makes him a lot more poseable than most dolls. He's about 12 inches tall, or the height of my forearm, or large enough to ride a corgi. Makes me wanna borrow someone's dog for a photoshoot.
His hands have small magnets in them enabling him to hold special props.
His head, hands and feet are made of polymer clay. His wig is hand applied wool roving.
His clothes I hand sewed, and they are made of cotton and of craft felt, with embellishments in thread and metal. His belt and footwraps are buckskin.
The pipe and mug he's got there are not his, and that's why they don't fit him. He's "borrowing them" from larger dolls. Little thief.

Beautiful!!! How did you ever manage that face? I can't make anything remotely facelike out of polymer clay!
Great work!

Aw thank you! I do a lot of work with sculpting and clay, and faces take a lot of practice and studying of structure, but you can do them too.

Your dolls are so awesome. They look so different than everyone else's, but in a better way of course.

that is so cool! would you be willing to share the basic design of his skeleton with others who want to try making dolls like this but no understanding of how to put them together?
i like the magnet idea in the hands for special props. are we going to get to see them too? he reminds me of those porcaline clown dolls.
haha, and if he stole them from other dolls, it just prooves he really is a little goblin.

HIs basic design is an art mannequin frame with a few little alterations. I will be selling dolls like him on my Coming-soon Etsy site.

This is very impressive. I really like his earrings. He's one of those poseable art mannequins, right? How exactly did you attach the hair?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
His hair is glued on a dot at a time with cooltemp hotglue applied to a sanded sculpey surface. That way I can't glue my hands to my work or burn them too badly.

Wonderful work. This is the sort of creation I'd expect to see in a Jim Henson show (and I mean that with the utmost respect and reverence).

Oh really?? *squee* Jim Henson is Awesomeness. Kesh was gonna be more creepy and grubby, more like a Labyrinth goblin, but then he turned out to be a little gentleman so I had to change plans.
