“ Phoenix ” Underworld Undead Doll OOAK BJD Doll Artist: Victoria May Studio: Underworld Dolls Phoenix wafted into consciousness slowly, like a feather falling back to earth. She opened her mouth to breathe but her mouth filled with dirt. She started to panic, attempting to claw the dirt from her face. Her eyes were stinging with grit and her body was pinned down by the weight of the earth. Finding strength in her panic she dug her way out, blindly, inelegantly. Phoenix emerged from her grave, coughing up soil clods, raking at her gritty eyes. When she could finally breathe she looked around at the unfamiliar land she had awoken to. It was the dead of the night. Graves as far as she could see. Tombs, dead trees, circling vultures in the moonlight. She looked down at the shallow grave from which she fought. A fresh headstone bore her name. Figures moved in the distance, getting closer. Attracted to her sound, to her life. She scrambled to the huge iron gates, the swirls of steel reaching impossibly high. The gate was locked tight but she was able to slip easily through the bars. She looked back. The figures were slowly moving away. A twisted dirt road lay in front of her like a sinewy snake. Leaving the graveyard far behind her, Phoenix followed the path and soon came upon a cobblestone village. Crooked signposts pointed to obscure establishments. Underworld Books one way and Twintonian Lodge another. She went toward the bookstore but then thought she might find people to help her at the Lodge. She doubled back but the sign post had changed. Now, in a different direction was something called Curiosities for the Oddities and Twintonian Lodge had become Fountain of Infinite Darkness. Confused and agitated she stalked off in the direction of the oddities shop. Surprised when it actually existed, she was instantly charmed by the quaint little store which had so many objects in it some were tumbling out the door. Ancient maps of imaginary lands, terrariums with miniature living people inside, compasses proffering the way to guaranteed treasure... these were just some of the magical delights which adorned the makeshift shelves. There was a desk in the far corner, piled high with books and intriguing objects. Phoenix didn’t notice at first the dour looking man who sat behind a cloud of smoke, pipe in one hand, an old-fashioned camera in the other. He followed her with his eyes and slowly raised the camera to his face. She paused and watched as he peered at her through a leathery lens. “You’re dead.” The man remarked, lowering the camera and tossing it carelessly onto the messy desk. Phoenix was speechless. “Bloody thing won’t take pictures anymore, but the lens still works. You’re deader than dust. Dead, dead, deadsky,” he smirked. “Well if I’m dead you must be too,” Phoenix retorted, hurt. “This place must be some sort of purgatory right?” “Nope.” He picked up a book and started reading. She left the shop in a huff. She started to think about what he said. Was she dead? She did just rise from a shallow grave. But her skin was warm, she could talk and move. If this wasn’t the afterlife then what was it? She tried to remember what happened before the grave. She remembered a different world, where laws of reality made sense. She remembered snatches of memories, a familiar face here, and a shared sunset there. But it was fading fast and the more she tried to latch onto a memory the quicker it would slip through her fingers. Feeling like a newborn, Phoenix set out to learn about her new world. Thrilled, scared and excited, she began her own Underworld adventures... Phoenix is a One-Of-A-Kind Ball Jointed Doll, handmade from professional grade polymer clay.
