Thanks toyjunkie. I used a knitting needle and heated it with a lighter and then held it briefly to the plastic. The skeletons melt really quickly so you have to be careful.

As much as I like those three, I would never make more. I have never made the same doll twice. Just can't do it. I tried one time for a friend that wanted a doll i had sold and it ended up being another original, but in the same style.

The website I put them on for sale actually has a fun poem with each figure. It was kind of a trademark of mine. I like to give each of my creations a story.

Thanks for the offer savagehunter. I didn't really put them up here to sell, I just thought someone would like to look at them. If you are really interested in them, let me know offline and we can discuss it.

Thanks Clockwerk. They really were fun to make and pulling them out has started to wake up my mini passion again. I miss doing the fun stuff.

I've been fascinated with those little skellies ever since voodoo willy posted his skelly fairy.
You just gave me more ideas on what to do with them! I think I'd like to try to make the grim reaper to use as on a trophy this year for the costume contest. Voodoo Willy used hot glue to pose them. How did you do it? Oh and here is my skelly fairy in a jar

Giles those are stunning, you're a very talented artist. You should start your own business, lots of doll house collectors would snap them up. Make one and put it on Ebay you'll get tons of bids.

I LOVE the detail you did your peices. They are so unique and wonderful. If you decide to make more, please please post some pics!!

MsM...I love the trapped fairy!! I had never seen that before. That really gives me some ideas. :-)

Halloween Sucks in UK and Mistress....thanks for the words of encouragement. I used to sell dolls frequently on Ebay and through a website, but I haven't done that in a long time. Might have to try again. :-)
