It has been a while...

 


Fireworks in the graveyard:  Liberty


I guess it has been a while since I've posted!  Still making dolls, and the following dolls are variations on the Simple Doll pattern in the previous post.  Somehow I got on to a creepy-cute kick, and these started jumping off my hooks.  There is no separate pattern for them.  


For inspiration, I found a great Etsy seller of digital artwork:  Locker61;  purchased her zombie/voodoo/creepy digital art, and used it for inspiration.  Here is an example:



Digital artwork by Locker61


These make up fast.  If you have a cache of buttons, mix them up for the eyes.  To color the faces, I used colored pencils dipped in water.  You really cannot go wrong.


I sketched the backgrounds using a free online application:  Sketchbook.  I am no artist, but it was just plain fun to draw again, like I did as a kid.  I use this on an Android tablet computer.  


Here are a few more of my creepy friends:



Flora


Stone


Flora and Stone got their names from an Aldi's Merlot...




Wormwood



Rosewood


Crochet is amazing.  With a hook and string, you can create anything.  Enjoy!
