What a perfect time of year to post Kerry Kate’s work. She hand makes incredibly unique, gauzy, tarnished, deliciously detailed dolls.

Her oddly shaped torsos are painted with a ghostly kind of realism, adding the appearance of depth to a simple piece of stuffed canvas.

She achieves a great antique feel in her pieces, as if they are heirlooms from Great Grandma’s attic (if Great Grandma had a hint of darkness to her sensibilities).

See more of her work on her website.
