Hi! I'm new to posting but love reading and exploring the site. I'm a dollmaker and have been working on some new tiki dolls. Hope you like my first one.

I love Beetlejuice! I've got three more that are at the half-way stage that I am liking even better. For now I'll post two other dolls that are in the same family, semi-tiki. By the way, I sculpt the heads, hands and feet individually out of paperclay, paint them with acylics, and then sew the bodies and assemble.

Looks good but I think you should make the feet a little more detailed and maybe tune it more towards the heads. For me, the legs are a little too long but I think you came a far ways in the three photos to making the heads look Tiki Central ready.
