Deviant Art (dA)

DeviantART (dA)  is a huge community, that hosts various forms of art, from traditional painting to the most extravagant pieces of artwork. I can spend countless hours browsing galleries, as there's such a great variety of forms and ideas! Unique creations of some exceptionally talented people, who would definitely deserve to be recognized.

Dolls

Dolls are not only one of the most ancient toys, they have also been used for other purposes as well. Decorative dolls are very common  and we found them in a variety of forms, from cute and whimsical to spooky and sinister. Ritualistic use of dolls has also been frequent in various spiritual practices, like the well - known voodoo dolls.
There are numerous talented artists on etsy, who create dolls and I'd like to share some with you in this post.
