TAUT makes delicate, melancholy dolls from paper clay.
She strives for sustainability, her favorite building material being scrap.
The Etsy Shop is currently closed, but there are lots of places to find her whimsical, spooky work.
Her facebook page is full of wonderful photos. You can also brows TAUT’s art on deviantArt, Pinterest, and Tumblr.
I’m going to follow her in several places, so I don’t miss anything.
In reality, our limited garden space is reserved for edibles. I have neither the skill nor the time to plant a proper spooky garden, but I can dream.
My ideal dark garden is one that is dark by day, but transforms into a moon garden at night. Daytime colors would be classic goth: black, purple, red. At night, white and silver.
The Everyday Goth is also a garden dreamer, and has a nice guide for building a gothic garden. I like it because she works in proper gardening layers.
The classic site for dark gardening, Gothic Gardening, has been partially preserved on Archive.org. The themes, along with pictures, have been preserved at Aokley.com.
Night-blooming Jasmine has an incredible fragrance. A vine covered the front porch of our house in Portland. It was a joy to walk through in the evening.
Silver Sage has a shimmery look, and soft leaves. iVillage has some other good moon garden suggestions.
White Flower Farm not only specializes in white flowers, they have a section dedicated to moon garden plants.
I know it’s not very gothy, but I’d have to sneak a fairy door into my garden somewhere.
And a dragon. Definitely a dragon.
Jolanta & Katarzyna Jaworska are twins from Warsaw, Poland. Unsatisfied with the dolls already available on the market, they decided to create their own. They began with Euria, an anthropomorphized equine, learning as they went along. Though neither had a background in art, their designs flare with precision, delicacy, and life.
With their second project, Skene, they wanted a lithe, exaggerated female form with extra flexibility.
Part of their solution was a double-jointed hip, allowing a very feminine hip-cocked stance.
Szarlotka (Polish for “apple pie”) was intended to be a light-hearted doll. Though charming, I find this bunny still has a bit of edge.
See more of their beautiful work at their site, Buried in Oblivion.
