Though made back in 1986, "Labyrinth" today still has a large following of loyal fans. Most responsible for this long-term success is the main character, Jareth The Goblin King, played by singer, songwriter, and actor, David Bowie. The doll pictured here is one of two versions of Jareth.

About My Fantasy Doll Art
I love fantasy stories, faerie lore, mythology, legends, folklore, magic, action adventure. Every time I make a doll, these are the sources I draw upon to express a story, to capture a moment in time, a fantasy character poised in an instant of exploring, considering, or being surprised by events that are about to occur. My husband said of my work, "She creates a tension in the design of her dolls that motivates the observer to speculate as to what the next action of the dolls might be, or what might have occured before to account for their present attitudes, precipitated by the capturing of a single, perfect moment."
