It has been a long wait. The first Curse of Lizzie Borden was a cracker jack movie. Campy, campy, campy. Now we have the second in the series. I ordered mine. Have you?

An artist and web designer, Brandy Naugle creates woks that combine materials in a way that gives them not only a layered feel, but serve as an homage to the times in which the people lived. I rather like this one. The use of pink is especially evocative.

This doll was on sale on eBay in 2007. The artist’s blog features all of her creations. I like this one because of the materials used. She isn’t a doll that was made into Lizzie after first being created for another use. This doll was created from scratch with the outcome in mind. Tattered Rags Handmade Ragdolls.

Art is meant to provoke us, to make us think, to make us feel, to make us react in some way. Dominic Murphy’s pieces definitely do all of that. Here is his version of the Lizzie Borden story. Titled “Lizzie Borden in Us All.”

This is not a photo of Lizzie Borden, but as the seller acknowledges, it is a work of art that makes one think of the later brutality in a new light after looking at an innocent girl.

I support aspiring artists and especially enjoy collecting folk art pieces that are Lizzie related. Little Lizzie belongs to me now.

Titled “Libby Borden: Halloween 2003, Lizzie Borden’s Step Mom.” I just think it is special.
