How To Be A Gothic Doll Maker

By Jordan Schmidt


The goth subculture is actually one of the most fascinating of all subcultures because it is dark and mysterious. One would probably be familiar with this subculture through pop culture such as music or architecture. Most goth people would even express themselves by creating goth dolls in their own likeness. Now if this particular activity would be of interest to anyone, then here are a few tips on how to be a gothic doll maker.

Now there are two ways of going about, starting from scratch or buying a plain doll from a store and just customizing from there. Now the first method is actually a bit tough and takes a lot of time because one has to have existing skills on how to do crochet. From there a doll can actually be made from scratch.

The other way would be to simply just buy an existing rag doll. So using either of these two methods, one will already be able to have a plain doll. So the first step in this process would be to create the clothes for the little figurine.

Now there are actually a lot of interesting cloth patterns that one can follow in the internet. Now the clothing that will be made for the little figurine would depend on the gender of the figure whether it will be a male or a female. Now some of the things to take note of is that since it is going to be a gothic figurine, then the clothes have to be goth inspired.

There must be a lot of black colors as well as a combination of some red as well as some white. Male dolls would usually have black long sleeves with some accessories like a cross. Female ones would have lacy skirts with striped high knee socks.

Once the clothes are already made, then the next thing to do would be to fill in the other details of the figurine. First thing to think about would of course be the hair. Most goth dolls actually have long hair for both male and female genders. The male ones would have medium long or spikey hair while the females would have long straight or tied up hair. The color would usually range from black and yellow to even red or violet.

Now lastly, one would have to now create the face of the figurine. Now the facial expression is quite unique as compared to other dolls though. Goth dolls would usually have a very poker expression that does not show any happiness or any sadness at all. This is one of the things that would make dolls like these very unique.

So basically, those are some tips that one can use in order to create one of these dolls. These are just the basic steps that one can use but the rest will definitely be all up to the creativity of the creator. If one would want to make a beautiful goth figurine, then he or she would have to release all those stored up creative juices.
