Colleen handsculpts these dolls from clay and then uses paints and pastels to add details. She uses black glass for the eyes, which I think gives them that sad, soulful look. The clothes are all handmade, and each doll truly is a one-of-a-kind creation.
Here are a few of my favorites:
Colleen is obviously a great photographer as well, as her pictures are wonderful. In fact, you can also purchase prints of these wonderfully creepy dolls.
I hope you find loopyboopy interesting, and you will follow the links to Colleen's etsy shop.
Have a great weekend! I'm off to the first craft show of the season. Wish me luck!

Thanks to everyone for stopping by to see Colleen's amazing dolls. I think I first discovered her work on the pages of Art Doll Quarterly magazine. I immediately looked up her etsy shop and added it to my favorites.
