Puppets hold a special place in my heart, and be they monster or man, I want to show that even through darkness and disarray, small bits of light and hope and love can be found. With that being said, Happy World Puppetry Day!
My studio space is in a state of macabre disarray with half formed creatures, phantom limbs strewn about, and tiny, handmade stones for future stone walls. I'm currently working on a top secret project, but I wanted to share an old form that is helping to shape a new form. It's gonna be WILD. 🕷️
Blood tainted in curse, imprisoned the innocent, and tethered them to wander beneath shadow and crown. Such a lonely life to behold, such a heavy burden to carry. A friend, a foe, a curious eye, a kind hand, a kind word. All welcome, but none brave enough to go near web and fangs.
Long legged spider boys. 🕷️ Their little legs move about. And the fact that they feel as though they’re hugging your hand when you hold them was just a fantastic bit I did not plan. 🥺
The devilish, bird boy currently on the chopping block.
Sharing a bit of progress while I stitch and fold and cut and sculpt tiny mushroom folk for my upcoming vending events. Meet one of the Ascaria, a rambunctious creature filled with as much charming disposition as it is curious. #ooak #puppet #darkart #cottagecore #fantasy #textileart
And my tiny Gorcha marionette from The Vourdalak is now complete. I love this film so much. 🥺🖤 #puppet #marionette #puppeteer #ooak #darkart #art #thevourdalak #vourdalak #vampire #cryptid
A wip of the current puppet on the slab. Everyone’s favorite @55hole, Bloodborne’s Patches the Spider.
My mom pointed out that I’m basically just making tinier versions of myself and dammit I am starting to believe her.

Baby just got her first resin printer. And. It’s. SO. TINY. 😩
Sweet faces that stare up into the night sea, counting far off diamonds that swirl into tales of how things used to be. [ #monster #darkart #ooak #sculpture #art #twoheadsarebetterthanone ]
The beginnings of my little, Lovecraftian fishing village named Roanoke. [ #oldgods #miniature #darkart #art #wip ]
A quick update on the old man’s coat. I still need to dye it a dusty brown using sunflower seeds. Experiment time! Then the fur will be added and lastly his scarf. He absolutely has been my favorite puppet to make. [ #thevourdalak #vampire #puppet #marionette #filmsky ]
He whispers of omens and fortunes and falls. Like the great tumble of Babylon, of ancient empires, of those before and after, all mere ashes at his feet and a cold heart under his still breast. [ #marionette #puppet #monster #darkart #art ]
