Yes I know, I know, I said that Mad Tea was going to be about monsters, but really nothing says “Mad Tea” more than a hauntingly beautiful doll with a thousand yard stare wearing an Edwardian tea dress. MAD TEA stands for Monster Art Dolls Toy Etsy Artists. It’s a stretch I know. See this page for details about MAD TEA.
Today I want to talk about these amazing dolls that are available on Black-eyed Suzie’s Etsy page. These could be tragic heroines from an Edward Gorey tale, or maybe an aristocratic lady with a bad case of the vapours.
The dolls are OOAK, which is short of One-Of-A-Kind. They are constructed from paperclay, which is a form of papier mache. The arms have wire in them and can be posed.
The artist can work from photos to make custom dolls. These take 4-6 weeks to make. Black-eyed Suzie can also make accessories. Simple ones are free, but more complicated ones like parasols, pets, or steampunk goggles will cost you. Black-eyed Suzie also has a Typepad page that you should definitely visit if you like her work.
Well, that’s it for this week’s installment of MAD TEA. See you next week for more Monster Art Doll Toy Etsy Artists.
