I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past
I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
~Frank Herbert (1920–1986), Dune
My wife collects creepy dolls.. this is one of my favorites.
The Ouachita Shutterbug 
That’s a cool hobby! 🙂 This one is pretty darn creppy! Looks like it came right out of a Tim Burton movie!

Thanks! I always liked this one because it had that old farmhouse rustic look to it. A lot of the other ones she collects have a more slick modern feel to them. She has her dolls and gargoyles and I have my skulls and fantasy figurines. 🙂

Skulls are awesome! I have some nice fossil skulls as part of my fossil collection.

Cool! All my skulls are replicas or just fantasy interpretations of skulls. My daughter has a friend that likes collecting skulls and she bought her a bird skull for Christmas. It was a very interesting looking skull. I’ll have to get me a real one some day to go with all the other ones. 🙂

HAHA! I would have to agree. My wife likes to collect them so it goes without saying that there are quite a few more creepy ones to go with it. I can’t complain though.. she gives me plenty of slack on my mountain bikes so I live with a lot of creepy dolls. 🙂 Have a great weekend and stay warm!

HAHA! Well the picture was taken for a challenge that a Facebook group presented to everyone. It was to take a picture of something you have at the house. My wife collects creepy dolls so we have quite a few around the house but this one has always been one of my favorites. I played around with the lighting a bit to get the final result but it got the point across. 🙂 It’s fun to try something different and step outside our normal ‘box’. Hope you have a great Friday and enjoy your weekend!

HAHA! I guess I’m just jaded because I get to see it every day along with all his other creepy friends that sit about the house. 🙂 This picture was for a Facebook group photo challenge so that’s why it’s outside my normal nature shots.

Thanks! Our house is an eclectic combination of library and museum. I’ve been tilted towards the fantasy and science fiction genres since I was very young and first read The Hobbit. I enjoy having those things still around me. It’s like having a room full of old friends in the house. 🙂

I love creepy dolls! That one your wife has is really special. My husband doesn’t celebrate my interest in creepy dolls. 😦 He wants them out of the house. So does my first grader. Anyhow, nice picture of the doll!

Thanks! My taste goes more toward the fantasy – dragons, gargoyles, medieval figures – but I also enjoy horror or scary stuff as well. I guess you could say we have a wide variety of objects that inhabit our house but I enjoy having them around me because they all instill a certain memory that is fun to visit. 🙂 I went as far to make a creepy doll for my wife’s birthday one year and it turned out fairly well. She liked it at least. 🙂 Have a great week!
