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 if one would want to start, there are two things he can do in order to get a plain doll to start off with. Now the first way would be of course to start from nothing by buying some thick threads and weaving them to create the body of the figure. However, do take note that in order to do this, one would be needing some crochet skills.
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 in order to create the clothes, it would be easier if one would have a pattern that can be followed. These patterns can be found in hobby shops as well as the internet. Of course the clothes have to be goth inspired since these are goth dolls anyway.
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.
Now when the clothes have already been sewn, then the next thing to do would be to fill up the other details. Now one usually start with the hair because this is the easiest part to start with. Now the goth dolls would usually have long hair for both the men and women. While the men would have medium longish hair, the women would have straight and long hair. Of course the colors would vary from around blue to black or even purple.
Now when all of that has already been dealt with, last thing to deal with is the face. Now the facial expressions of the dolls are what would usually capture the attention of the people. Now this is quite interesting because the facial expressions of these dolls are usually very blank and would have no expression. Of course this can be designed in pretty much any way the maker would want.
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.
