I get a kick out of Crankbunny paper puppet sightings in real life.
The above photo is Miss Suzy spotted at High Street Tattoo in Columbus, Ohio. I know there have been a few folks from shops that have ordered dolls from the Victorian Tattooed folks series - but it is super neat to see how people have displayed them in the shops or at their stations.

** I also know Sir Kyle is on display at Thicker Than Water in NYC at Mike’s station because he’s tattooed me in the past. Sir Craig is on display at Graceland in Brooklyn too (along with an Elvis paper doll I made especially for the shop after they opened as a gift)…. damn.

Jubilee and Karmen are your typical magical forest gals. Their whimsical wings and fancy dressing make them your typical modern fairy.
About Miss Jubilee
With a taste for the trendy, Jubilee knows the best way to show off her fay style is by finishing up window shopping downtown, donning her magnetic fairy mask and fluttering back to the forest.
About Miss Karmen
With a taste for tropical daiquiris and salsa, Karmen knows the best way to show off her trendy fay style is by dancing on the beach with friends until sunrise. Afterwards she dons on her magnetic fairy mask and flutters back to the forest.
**! The fairy paper dolls are handmade, signed, have many moving joints, delicate semi-translucent wings, a genuine swarovski crystal and magnetic removable fairy mask !** Because the mask is magnetic - you can remove and replace the mask onto the paper dolls face easily.
The paper doll fairies be propped up against other obviously less memorable things, or easily framed. Each paper puppet is approximately 9 x15 inches in size. Backed within a pochette and shipped safely as always.
Even though the shop is closed until April 3rd - that doesn’t mean a little teaser treat sneek peek of some new spring paper doll puppets aren’t in order!

Both shops are back open! Thanks to everyone who cleaned it out a week before Valentine’s day — hope everyone got some great hugs and love with their Crankbunny goodies! Been able to do inventory and most of all the Crankbunny cards / paper puppets are back on sale (though a little low on certain items - eeek - time to call up my printers!)
On another fun note!
The fine folks at Tattoo Savage magazine gave a page feature to a few of my Victorian Tattooed Paper Puppet Dolls in the Feb (April 2012) edition. The magazine is out now and I was able to do a spotting at my local newsstand which was a neat surprise!
Krampus is one of Santa’s best & also meanest helpers each year! He sets off with St. Nicholas each Christmas holiday season, warning & scaring naughty children. Little known fact though - Krampus is really just a happily elected elf in a big monster suit.
This paper puppet doll has many moving joints and adjustable parts! The Krampus monster head is removable to reveal an Elf. It can be propped up against other obviously less memorable things or easily framed. The puppet is approximately 7 x10 inches in size.
