Omnidoll in front of Assorted Dolls 2013. I go by that because I do not have one favorite type of effigy or doll. I’m an omnivore of dolls, either dollniverous…or omni-doll.

Omnidoll’s EffigiPie IS:
Doll Culture.
Effigies that can be posed.
Doll parts.
DIY.
Pop Culture.
and How One Presents Another Self…

The name “Omnidoll” comes from my liking almost every kind of doll. I am a fan of unusual interpretations of poseable effigies, antique and vintage dolls, plush, female action figures, doll-related DIY, doll making, doll customizing, and doll repair. I am a member of Dollmakers of Etsy.

I may be contacted at effigipie@yahoo.com.

BIO: Writer/researcher, doll refurbisher, and doll artist. MFA.

Interests:

Omnidoll’s work addresses how people can speak past obstacles in multiple ways, such as through Popular Culture, Material Culture Studies, and Film.

For example, yes, your parent(s) had been trying to tell you something by giving you that White Elephant object from Aunt/Uncle Martha or Cousin It.

She has spent her career pursuing answers to the question:

In turn, this has led her to questions such as:

(1.) How to write a serious novel while making people laugh;

(2.) How old your grandmother’s doll is, how it was made, why it was made like that, how to repair it–and how a doll can tell you things you didn’t know about your family;

(3.) How mechanical dolls in the Renaissance anticipated the avatars of 21st century online gaming;

(4.) How a “charming little story” enables you to tell people things they do not want to hear–and how they will thank you for it!

Omnidoll has been interviewed by The Denver Post and has served as an acquisitions and material culture consultant to the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles, CA.
