OOAK Porcelain CrEePy Clowns Dolls by Geri G. Taylor 2016



Sadly, I have been remiss in posting anything interesting on my blog, but that doesn't mean I haven't had a creative daze or two!

My CrEePy Clowns have become another fun way to repurpose and create one of a kind art from mass produced porcelain clown dolls.

One of my very first repaints was a 12" Dynasty porcelain clown. But I went the direction of the Gothic Girls and they took up a lot of my creative time.


My second clown was an adorable music box! He and the rest of CrEePy Clowns featured in this post are my 2016 series.

I purchased some common Heritage Mint clowns that stand about 16"-17" and a few Dynasty dolls that are up to 20". I try to keep my costs low but generally, these dolls costs about $20 plus shipping online and they are hard to find in second hand stores.

I prefer a couple of the Dynasty molds. One is a hobo (especially without the ball nose)and the other is a circus clown like the one I used on my first CrEePy Clown. I also prefer clowns that can be bald because they don't have the hole in the top like porcelain dolls that need inset eyes and I can choose to add hair or not. I also like molds with ears.

Speaking of Zombies...

Guess who is going to China!


My Gothic Ghost Bride.

By FAR the CrEePiEsT doll I've crafted yet! AND...she's a night light!  The funny part...these lamps run about $100, but I could not resist!I recommend using a cool LED bulb...I just haven't remembered to pick one up at the store...so, for now, she's got a blue Christmas bulb under her skirt.I made her veil because the one she came with was just not "dark" enough.Unlike most of the other Gothic Girls, her skin has been created by sponge painting a combination of white. parchment, and a light gray giving her skin a more decayed appearance.



She looks even more ghostly with the veil.
