One of a Kind Handmade Halloween Ghost Doll Adelaide

Adelaide — One-of-a-Kind Ghost Art Doll

A spectral presence stitched in lace and shadow…

Meet Adelaide, a hauntingly elegant art doll handcrafted with care in my Stratford, Ontario studio. Standing on a vintage-style candlestick base, she rises like a ghost from the past—draped in layers of black lace and faded fabrics, with a solemn gaze that feels plucked from another world.

Her face is softly sculpted by needle and thread, then delicately hand-painted using pastels, pencils, markers, and paints to bring her ethereal expression to life. Her haunting beauty is made complete by her long lace veil and antique-style pendant at her throat.

Made from heirloom-quality materials and stuffed with natural sheep’s wool, Adelaide measures approximately 21" tall, 12" deep, and 10" wide. She is built on a sturdy candlestick base for stable, freestanding display.

She is a true one-of-a-kind—perfect for collectors of spooky heirlooms, gothic decor, or anyone with a fondness for the mysterious and macabre.
