Witchy Wednesday Frankenstein exhibition.

-

 


Frankenstein is a 2025 American science fiction horror film directed, written, and produced by Guillermo del Toro, based on Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel.

Mary Shelley
Richard Rothwell's portrait of Shelley was shown at the Royal Academy in 1840.



I cannot believe it's been just over a year since I visited the Frankenstein exhibition at the old Selfridges hotel London! It was an absolutely fantastic experience, the amount of work that went into every costume, prop and miniature was exceptional. A very well thought out and atmospheric exhibition. For this weeks Witchy Wednesday I thought it would be nice to share some photos from my visit with a few including me! 😁



Posters from last years launch.

A couple of examples of Spirit dolls made by me. The idea of my spirit doll is that is handcrafted using bits and bobs and that anyone of any age can make one.Though I recommend adult supervision for younger children as some sharpe object are used in the making of the doll. Firstly the really fun bit gathering your spirit doll making supplies. You will need twigs, wool or string, feathers, stones, fabric scraps, beads, sequins, really whatever takes your fancy. You can pick twigs from the ground in your garden, or whilst walking the dog. Please don't snap twigs from trees as it won't add good vibes to your doll plus it is not kind to the tree! You will also need some glue, pipe cleaners or wire scissors and an awl Now the idea behind my spirit doll is to take some time out from the rat race and to spend a couple of hours rekindling the joy of making something like you used to do with a mind of a child. No preplanned sketches, no sewing, no rules! They don't have to ...

Welcome to part two on how to make a spirit doll. In the last post we made the basic body for your spirit doll using a stick/twig, pipe cleaner and wool. Now it is time to add some clothes and give your doll character. Remember spirit dolls are to be created with positivity and with whatever you have to hand. Thus this tutorial is a guide rather than a rigid tutorial. Taking a piece of fabric wrap loosely around the body of your doll. Tie in the middle, I used a spare pipe cleaner but you can use a ribbon, string or length of wool. This will be your dolls dress or robes. Remember your spirit doll can be male or female. You can also make it as an animal!  Now for a head.  You can use a bead, a ready made cabochon, a stone or you can create a head using air dry clay or fimo. You can of course have it head free!  I made a sun head from air dry clay which I glued onto place and then painted it with acrylic paints.  Different head ideas...
