janebug makes stuff

Hi guys! Back again! And this time I bring sheep. 🐑🐑.

This piece is inspired by two things: Dolly the cloned sheep (+ my deep interest in genetics) and the Monument To The Laboratory Mouse sculpture displayed in Russia. I suppose it also has very vague references to Frankenstein? (in my head, anyway).

Hiya! I'm back!! Woo!!!

For a very, very, very long time, I have been obsessed and enamoured by deep sea creatures. I haven't stopped thinking about the Bigfin squid since I first saw a photo of it. So cool. Makes me wanna jump in one of those little orb submarines and explore the depths of the ocean. I've come to the conclusion that I clearly don't have thalassophobia.

For my latest project, I wanted to do something inspired by all those wonderful, slightly effed-up creatures. And here she is! This is Bream. A wire frame doll with pose-able arms, head and tail. The submarine is made from mostly recycled materials, which was pretty fun to experiment with.

So, howdy there, folks. This one is a bit different, but if you don't try new things then you'll never learn new things, right? I wanted to work on my character design for this one, as well as attempting to create my first ever marionette. Luckily, the structure of the dolls I make lends itself very well to marionette, so really all I had to do was add the strings.

As for the character herself, this is Opportunity! Or Oppy, to her friends. As a lover of science who is currently in my second year of a STEM degree, I love to incorporate my interests into the things I make.

For those who don't know, Opportunity was a Mars rover who greatly outlived her life expectancy by over 14 years. She was sent up with her twin rover, Spirit, and was tasked with looking for evidence of previously life-supporting conditions. I only thought it fitting to personify such an important piece of scientific exploration as a character of her own. I like to think she hangs out in space and explores the universe with Laika by her side.

It's not my best, but it was fun!

So, hi guys!

I actually made finished this one a month ago but have only just got round to making a post about it! Here she is, the one and only Hornet!

Silksong was definitely my favourite game of 2025, and is probably a top ten of all time game for me in general. I just knew I had to make a Hornet doll at some point. The spider-lace just worked so well with my ribbon joints that I had to give it a try.

Of course, I spruced her up a little bit. I added a hell of a lot of embroidery to her cloak with element I adapted from the game art and game UI, which I think turned out pretty well, even if it did take me 57 years.

Anyway, hope you like her!

wowzas, my first even post here! i've been posting on ig for a while now and wanted to bite the bullet and start posting to you lovely people too

so, here she is! this is my midsommar dani doll that i finished recently. as with all my dolls, my aim isn't to create an identical copy of the character and outfit - more of my own interpratation! this means i can pepper in my own style in the design, which is my favourite thing to do. (this dani's dress is inspired by the more fancy versions of traditional swedish dress, whilst still paying homage to the ones in the movie - you can find my inspo board here)
