Lolita Punk


I have been making dolls since I was six or seven years old. There is something about making dolls that really feeds my soul. They have transformed in shape and style over the years, sometimes primative or ethnic, other times, pure baby doll.

Lately I have wanted to make a doll with a more edgy feel, still pretty, and "girly" but with funk. I have recently discovered a book called Gothic Lolita Punk by Rico Komanoya, and was inspired by the images.

I have spent the last coupla days on this doll, Lolita Punk. And I just love her. She is the first in a new series. I want to work on punk Little Red Riding Hood, Alice in Wonderland, and Queen of hearts dolls...
