a One Of A Kind Morezmore Art Doll # 8
Agnes Sweet Cheeks.
Agnes is a goblin bag lady who lives in the Labirynth. She serves in the Goblin Army in the rank of Toxic Waste Processor. Her job is to collect the emotional baggage and dispose of the toxic psychological waste.
Agnes finds it cheeky when other goblins call her Sweet Cheeks. She is not a spring chicken, yes, but lots of people find her adorable. Althought she is a bag lady, Agnes is well-dressed at all times and appreciates simple but tasteful jewelry - classy silver hoop earrings, an attractive vintage Nordic silver bracelet, and an antique lucky human eye ball as a pendant. (If you feel it is creepy to wear a lucky human eye ball, ask rabbits how they feel about lucky rabbit foot.)
Agnes is wearing a warm wool knitted sweater and a long frilled brown velvet skirt. Yes, she is wearing underwear, if you must know - modest and lady-like warm pink fleece bloomers. Being a Labyrinth Army warrior, she must wear an armor, and she is wearing armored breasts plates (a little droopy, perhaps). The Goblin Commander told her on numerous occasions to obtain a helmet, suitable for a Labyrinth Army officer, but she prefers a durschlag (strainer, in plain English) - a helmet gives her migraines. For a similar reason - health (corns) - she refuses to wear anything but her old leather slippers.
Agnes might come across as abrasive old hag, but she has a heart of gold. If you invite Agnes, she will come and she will remove your baggage. She will collect it all - guilt trips, sad memories, anger, frustrations, irrational fears, she will break the chains and unlock the locks. She will also collect your dirty subconscious laundry, leaving your heart, your soul and your conscience clean and refreshed.
This is Agnes talking (she does not have teeth, so all "s" and "z" come out soft):
... no way to treat a lady like zhat... zhe cheek... let me shee what you have here... what izh in zhish pile?... oh NO, NOT A bundle of OLD MILDEWED SHOULD HAVE shoughts!!! oh, zhe SHMELL!!... ... give me zhat bag... you really need to do your shoul laundry more often, dear...
On the photos you see Agnes after one of her waste-removal appointments. In her basket, there is a huge amount of stuff, including Return Route Maps for Guilt Trips, a bottle, marked "Bottled Anger", sealed and prepared for safe disposal, a container with numerous worm-like creatures with a label "Wouldhaves and Shouldhaves. Toxic!", conspicously marked with the Internaional Bio Hazard sign, a clean plate used in the field conditions as "clean slate", a few Chains of the Past, a bunch of Keys to The Future, a jug with clean water and a rolled up blanket used for self-analysis sessions. Kindly wait for the pictures to upload before clicking to enlarge.

Agnes is an authentic One Of A Kind (OOAK) Morezmore Art Doll, fully hand-sculpted, without molds of any kind. Her base is signed and marked with Number 8. Certificate of Authenticity is included.
Material: Agnes is made from ProSculpt and mixed media (natural wool, leather, mohair, plenty of other things). The base is made out of a piece of slate from the Blue Ridge Mountains. Particular attention was paid to making the doll structurally sound and strong, as well as attractive. That flip she is doing on the last photo was not for your entertainment, but to show that the sculpture can be handled without fear and all Agnes' belongings will not fall apart. Agnes was sculpted over a strong epoxy-fortified steel wire armature, and fired exactly following the manufacturer's temperature and time recommendations and an oven thermometer was used to monitor the temperature. Total number of firings - 4 times, including the heat setting of paint (genesis paints and acrylic paints).
Size: Agnes is 4.75" tall.
Payments accepted: Paypal, Money Order, Personal Check, Cashier Check.

Goblins can grow to anywhere from 2 inches to 6 foot tall.
Goblins have a somewhat bestial appearance with strong expressive facial features, thick coarse hair, strong muscular bodies and large hands and feet.
A goblin's ears are pointed and his mouth is filled with yellowed and crooked but sharp and healthy teeth.
Goblins are intelligent and they like to think of themselves that they are wiser than humans.
Goblins can appear as animals.
They are sometimes invisible to human eye. Goblins possess a coarse raspy sounding and slightly high-pitched voice.
Habitat:
Goblins originated in France and spread rapidly all over world.
Their homes are simple - they live in caves, mossy clefts in rocks and roots of ancient trees, although they never stay very long in the same place.
A group of goblins is referred to as a horde.
Female goblins are referred to as "hags" or "crones".
Goblin babies are knowns as changelings, and sometimes referred as "oafs" or "crimbils".
Culture:
Goblins are playful and fun-loving creatures, although at times their practical jokes and tricks can be evil and seriously harm people.
Goblins pride themselves on their ability to curdle the blood with a smile and turn the milk sour with the laugh. Their stare causes fruit to fall from the trees.
They pester humans in a number of ways, such as hiding small objects, tipping over pails of milk and altering signposts.
Goblins can weave nightmares out of gossamer and insert them into the ear of a sleeping human.
They steal human women and children and hide them away underground.
Goblin women steal human babies, replacing them with the goblin babies (changelings).
Goblins are of the Unseelie Court, and are at war with fairies.
Goblins mimic human actions in their sardonic way, twisting human rituals and culture to show the worst aspects.
Goblins are often associated with fire, or have the ability to create said element.
Goblins like to borrow horses and ride them all night. If a horse is tired in the morning, it is said a goblin rode it. If a horse is panicking, the goblin is trying to mount it.
Goblins like to roam and cause mayhem during Halloween, along with a crowd of ghosts, witches, etc. It is the last day they can walk the surface before their caves are snowed in for the winter.
They sometimes eat humans.
Goblins love mushrooms, and utilize them for housing, recreation, and as food.
When speaking a human tongue, goblins refer to themselves in third person.
