Deb Kirkpatrick has always had a strange fascination with the odd and all things paranormal. Since a young child, she has walked countless cemeteries, sitting in them, meditating in them...walking in them. She even had a make-believe friend that died the same year she was born, that she "befriended" at a childhood cemetery! Daily fun activities include reading the obits....the deads lives , what they did, when they were born....not as interested in why they died...just who they were..and fascinated that they are "over there" now. As a child, Deb had an ever-present entity in her life....a dark black cloaked man, in the corners, lurking in the shadows. Her parents eventually had an exorsism to rid her of these visitations..it worked..but she always thinks of him and why he was there. Plagued by nightmares, visions and illnesses as a child...this sculpted who she is today. Many of these things that run through her head....comes out in her art.
All the dolls and other artwork on Oddolls.Net are created and handcrafted by artist Deb Kirkpatrick. She uses many different mediums and styles to create each doll and piece of art.
Each doll is entirely hand made using muslin cotton, polymer clays, vintage fabrics, acrylic paint, and many other interesting materials to create OOAK dolls.
Deb shops around at antique shops and other places for old rusty nails, keys, wire, wood, vintage ;linensand other things to make each doll truly unique. Many of the dolls she makes are inspired by old pictures, cult phenomena, lucid dreams, and everyday things that she enjoys twisting into the slightly unusual to the truly bizarre.
Deb Kirkpatrick began making dolls in 2004 for friends and family, recently she has begun to sell them and has become a favorite with www.OutrageousEbayAuctions.com
