Kabuki Baby


A rough little tin head whose face has taken on a somewhat rough, whitish color.  Almost like a Kabuki performer gone bad.  She still has a small, flowered diaper, lovingly put on by her little mommy long ago.  Thankfully, she has a gargoyle friend looking out for her these days.

Burlesque In Hell


I imagine this bathing beauty represents what burlesque in hell is like.  A lovely lady, a come-hither stare, no arms........

Thank you Zombie Leader for the photograph and sharing your unique vision!

Evil Clown


What a lovely, comforting face.  Who says clowns can give you nightmares?  I'd feel much safer knowing he was watching over me, wouldn't you?

This evil beauty was made by the Schoenhut company.  In the early part of the 20th century, Shoenhut produced a complete circus of these wooden toys, complete with performers, animals, tents, and other accessories.

I See You


A small Minerva tin head peers out at you with her one good eye.  It makes you wonder what she's thinking of and why she has that chain?

A copy of this picture can be purchased at http://ann-neville.artistwebsites.com/.  Check it out along with some other prints which might get your attention.

That Was One Wild Night!

Who among us hasn't had one of those nights.  The next morning we don't remember what we did, our dress is a mess, our hair is a mess, our eyes are missing.......

My....What a Tiny Head You Have!


Nobody can accuse this young lady of having a big head!  In fact, I think she's been the victim of a witch doctor or a head shrinker.  Maybe that's why some women like big hair, it hides their small heads.

Yeti Girl


I imagine that this is what a hybrid between a Yeti and a human would look like, a slightly oversized head with fur attached to her body.  She was probably an Eskimo doll at one time, now she is Yeti Girl!

Her Eyes Would Follow You ..... If She Had Eyes

My kids keep telling me to quit buying dolls with no eyes.  But how can I resist such a sweet little girl with no eyes and sharp teeth!  It kind of makes you wonder who or what that stain on her dress is from.

Strange Friends

These two dolls show why people who know nothing about doll restoration shouldn't try it!  I love the 1970's fabric for the doll on the left and the crochet dress for the doll on the right.  I wonder what the pterodactyl thinks?

Who doesn't love a clown!  They're cute and cuddly, just what you want to see in your nightmares!  Who wouldn't want to see a clown head with no body staring at you.

A faceless doll dug up out of the ground rides away on a wallaby skull.  Doesn't everyone have one of these in their living room?

This little guy is ready for a day at the beach, although it is hard to swim when you don't have any arms!

Evil Frozen Charlotte


This diminutive little frozen Charlotte looks like a sweet, but somewhat rough doll at first glance.  When you take a closer look you see that she has red, evil looking eyes, the kind of doll nightmares are made of!

This Tin Head Had a Rough Life


This poor little doll has led a very rough life!  She's missing her arms and her face is just a little squashed.  Yet, in spite of the fact that her eyes are rolling around in her head, you still feel as if she is watching you!
