What are these strange creatures?
These odd dolls are not something you will find in a toy store. They are hardly something you would buy for a child. They are misproportioned, strangely dressed, and they have a character uniquely their own. Each doll is entirely hand made using polymer clays, vintage fabrics, acrylic paint, and sometimes real human hair or teeth. Each piece is one of a kind.
"Now here's a doll May Canaday would make if she watched The Brothers Quay Collection while listening to Nightmare Picture Theatre and hadn't slept in a week. Weird, misshapen and tortured, these unusual handmade dolls are...definitely not for children, unless you want them to have nightmares." -Rue Morgue, 2005 |

Robinson is a self taught artist who has been living
in Vermont for 15 years. While she has dabbled in a variety
of mediums, it was the discovery of polymer clay that allowed
her to combine her interests in design, sewing, sculpting,
and painting and gave her a concrete foundation of expression
in the form of Strange Dolls.
