My Bio

Once upon a time, I was a custom doll and toy-maker...I've made everything from customizing vinyl doll-bases to scuplting from scratch and various plushies. My creations range from creepy rockstars to movie characters to original pieces such as cute, cuddly teddy bears who wear historic clothing. I felt like I made it all.


When asked to define what constitutes a "creepy" doll, all I can say is that Rob Zombie is scared of my work, and a long, long time ago, I even had dates literally ran out of my house upon viewing my dolls. I stepped back from making dolls around 2012 because of the demands of graduate school and a demanding job with VERY long hours. Last thing I wanted to do when I was off work was do more work.


Now I'm a social worker with two young kids- life sure has changed, but I keep this up to remember the fun I had, and to threaten my husband with what I can still do if provoked ;-)


My work is spread all over the world, from Guam to Sweden and is owned by Rob Zombie, members of Mushroomhead, Slipknot and a variety of other bands! Still blows my mind that Ugly Babies are scattered about!


Rob Zombie plays with Ugly Babies... you should, too!


Current Residence: Ohio, USA

Favourite genre of music: Rock

Personal Quote: Ugly Babies... so creepy, even Rob Zombie is scared of them!!

One Final Doll

2 min read
I decided that I will come out of retirement for one final doll. Yes, it will be Joey Jordison. It will be raffled off (tickets sold via PayPal) and all proceeds will go to Animal Rescue League of Iowa (family choice from obituary). Since I am not doing commissions, this is the best way for people to have a chance to get a doll and I can end my dollmaking like it started- a Joey doll helping a great cause. I can think of no better way for me to retire once and for all. Give me a couple weeks and it’ll be ready- but it will be my last doll. I have a design in mind, and I promise you- it will be special. I'll be using a piece from one of his Volume 3 outfits. I was saving it for a special occasion- I didn't know WHAT it would be, but it's gut-wrenching that this is it. I will not take any commissions for dolls- part of why I stepped back from making dolls is I work long hours and now I have two small children. I just don’t have the time or space to dedicate to it like I did before.

oh my goodness thank you for the watch!
I adore your doll work so much ;u;
Thanks! My part in it has come to a close, but my friend Mike is taking it over and has some amazing things in the works!
aw but I see his work on facebook which is nice!
it was just amazing seeing my favorite singers with your dolls c:
Love your dolls, especially the Spotted elephant one - I would love to give my daughter one of them for Christmas. If you start making any more please let me know. Good luck in school and congratulations on your accomplishments so far.
Thank you :-) I know it sounds too close to Christmas, but ask me once November's over... that month is a cluster-you-know-what for me and I can't think too far past it right now :-) I should be able to, though, since they do not take too long to make.... I just hope I can easily find my pattern!
Your dolls rock! I love them! :horns:
Thanks so much! I appreciate the love!!
