Halloween is just around the corner, so I searched for something unique and a little bit...creepy this week. I'm pretty sure I hit the nail on the head with the October Effigies shop. As I've mentioned before, I have a penchant for all things spooky and these dolls remind me so much of Edward Gorey's work.
The set you see here ($38.50) is called "Conjoined Twin Ghosts" and they are stuffed print dolls. They're completely handmade and stand about 10 inches tall. They don't stand on their own though, so the shop owner provides you with some "invisible string" for hanging. Also, if you're not a fan of the conjoined twin look, Kerry Kate will soon be making singles.
Another favorite is this hand-painted beauty that also incorporates clay for limbs and antique lace for clothing.
I also discovered that her creations are famous! They've been in movies like Black Dahlia, The Dollhouse and Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium.
So if you're looking for some last minute Halloween decorations or just appreciate a unique doll all year long, these are clearly perfect. I think it's a safe bet your neighbors won't have these!
Wow, that is creepy. I wouldn't want to bump into that after Halloween. haha
