Hey, this is Justin, Andrea's son. :P I was bored this Monday so I made one little voodoo type doll. I was inspired by Tim Burton's movies, like Nine.
I made one doll, that led to two, and then three. But I'm not very good with the sewing machine though. So, I just practice by making more and more dolls.

I hope to get better with da sewing machine, so I can make more stuff. Then I'll try my luck by selling 'em. So I know if its a good money maker. :P
and that my friends....is my big boy (14 to be exact)....love him!I have to tell you....I love his dolls.
They're perfectly cute 'n' creepy....cuz I don't know about you guys....but dolls with button eyes and sewn mouths...is just plain creepy.
Hey Justin. I am absolutely impressed with your voodoo dolls. Can I just tell you that you already sew better than I do? No kidding...I don't sew well at all and therefore let my mom do most of my sewing for me. Good luck trying to sell these. Major fun!

So cool Justin! I think you did a great job...I can't sew at all! I hope you sell lots! Andrea...I agree they are the perfect combination of cute and creepy!
ReplyDeleteahhh - run there multiplying and taking over! :) Andrea, these are just adorable - too cute and really do look Tim Burtin'esque. Cute photos!

Fab voodoo dolls - great work, Justin! I think you and my 14 year old son would get along great. He's pretty handy with a sewing machine and could probably give you some tips. He definitely sews better than me. p.s. Andrea, totally love this post!
ReplyDeleteJustin! They are amazing! I love Tim Burton stuff...perfect for you to copy.
ReplyDeleteMy 15 y.o. son makes duct tape wallets and purses! He is "risingcash" on Youtube.
Justin, I think you've found something creative that a lot of people would be into today. Between Johnny Depp film fans, Alice In Wonderland, and Tim Burton, there are plenty of people who would dig these dolls!
ReplyDeleteOh - and kudos to being creative and doing something different!
ReplyDeletebefore i read your words, "cute & creepy", i was thinking, these are really cute and creepy! funny. i love 'em...go Justin!
ReplyDeleteVery fun voodoo dolls! So great to see your creativity! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI love your dolls, Justin! You are very creative. You sew a lot better than I do. I would love to buy one of your dolls from you. What a great post, Andrea.
ReplyDeleteJustin your dolls are great, I love that you take inspiration from Tim Burton! Andrea how great for you to have a talented and creative son, love that! And yes, button eyes are just creepy...
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Tammy
I think Justin should give it a go on etsy. I've seen less cuter and much creepier things sell like hot cakes!
ReplyDeleteYour Friend,
Deborah
Oh yes, those do seem very Tim Burtonish...very creepy with the eyes :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job Justin!! I see you got some of your mom's sewing talent :)) Good luck with selling them!
