The GOBLINS HAVE ARRIVED!

Hello Everyone!

On Nov. 3, 2012, I attended the San Diego BJDC on Mission Bay.  The convention has doubled in size from last year and was very well attended.  It was great to meet so many new people and to see how well your taking care of your "girls!"

It was also the weekend that I previewed two new costume designs from the GOBLINS BEND collection.  The first costume, "THE GOBLIN" is a limited edition piece and I am showing you a photo today!  Consisting of 5 interchangeable pieces, it is designed to coordinate with the GOBLIN headpiece and neck piece.

I also previewed" RASPINA RASPBERRY", also from the GOBLINS collection.  This costume will be available starting January 1,2013 and is a limited edition as well.  The costume starts with the headpiece (of course!) which is completely hand made. The raspberry hair, is all hand twisted and sewn into the headpiece.  It is a stunning piece, embellished with strands of raspberry and fuchsia feathers, petals, Swarovsky stones, handmade floral buds and other little treasures! There is a handmade neck piece, with selected jewel adornment. If you like couture, this is for you!  A black velvet three piece ensemble.  Black velvet pants, a black velvet corset top and custom designed arm piece are only the beginning.  Sewn into the corset top are black feathers that form a "winglike" cascade.  Sewn into the pants is a "tail" of black tulle, and black velvet petals are attached on either side.  This is the frame for large black feathers which further the dramatic appeal and Gothic over tones of the costume.  RASPINA'S costume, is made specifically for her as she is a "GOBLITCH!"  Half witch and half goblin, one of the main characters from the fairy tale I am working on.

I am attaching pictures of both costumes and welcome your questions and comments.




I will be busy designing additional costumes, writing, and creating new exciting selections for the seasons ahead.  Visit me on facebook and my website and oh yes!....Pinterest!!!

  1. Cool head wear, now that really looks like a goblin from a really different era. That's amazing! I'd love to know more about how you guys made them. Those ideas are valuable!

    1. Thanks,

      Just an artists brain and lotes of patients. I created the hair and then twisted and turned it into place. Then it is sewn into the head piece. It is all lined inside. Its really insanely beautiful Glad you agree!
