Kali

Kali has had enough. Nobody hurts her friends and gets away with it. There must be something she can do. Now, alone in her Grandmother’s attic, a thought becomes an idea and an idea becomes a plan. Kali wipes the dust from an old, heavy book, the one she was told she must never touch. It smells of damp cellars and some herb she can’t quite remember. This may be just what she needs …


This gothic art doll is approximately 14 inches tall with black button eyes, red and black hair, red and black striped legs, and hand stitched detail to her face. She is dressed in black crushed velvet and deep red satin trimmed with black lace. She wears a leatherette corset and black velvet shoes. Kali is supplied with an A4 signed certificate of authenticity. She is available to order here priced at £45 plus p&p.

Gothville News!

‘The Strange Little Girls live in Gothville, an old mill town in the North of England with winding cobbled streets and ancient stone buidings that harbour creepy gargoyles, who crouch among the pigeons, watching people pass by. Nothing is quite as it seems in Gothville. Everybody who lives here has a story to tell, each of them different, each a little strange …’

It’s been rather a busy week here in Gothville. There’s so much going on! Firstly, the Children in Need auction has sparked quite a lot of interest. If you haven’t already seen Ophelia, she is a stunning 14 inch one of a kind gothic doll and she is now on Ebay. At the time of writing, there is a week to go and bidding stands at £36. Remember, one hundred per cent of money raised will go to the BBC Children in Need appeal!

Secondly, I have been busy working on a brand new range of goth dolls, which will be released on the website next week. Four new 14 inch dolls and two 7 inch dolls will replace the current standard range. They don’t have names yet, but photos, names and background stories will be posted here as soon as they are ready.

Thirdly, as the dolls are becoming more popular, I have decided to phase out the accessories and jewellery and focus on what I do best, i.e. making lots more goth rag dolls. The purses and Alchemy Gothic jewellery I have left in stock can be found in the stock clearance sale. Also, if you are a follower of Strange Little Girls on Facebook, this weekend you can get free delivery on any available item in the Alchemy Gothic album when you order via the Facebook contact tab. Normal delivery charges apply to items ordered from the website and the offer ends at 22.00 GMT on Sunday 13th November.

That sums up the news from Gothville this week. Have a great weekend! :)
