presented. This
particular doll is named Leatherface. This is a protector deity who was once evil and is vindicating himself through the service of his master (owner).. Leatherface (who was named Teku until his rebirth) used to be a voyeur in his past life and decided to peek in on the wrong god one night. So the god banished him from his mortal life and Teku was reborn as Leatherface. The God told Leatherface that he would have to wear his face stretched out and stationary so he could not use it to peek around corners to satisfy his perversions. Leatherface's job is to protect the females in the household from predatorial men. This is a very hard job for him since he, himself was a predator, but the gods will not release him from his torturous body until his duties are fulfilled to the satisfaction of his keeper. Leatherface is made from a gourd. He has a sculpted face that is hidden under and enhanced by his black leather skin. He is a very sturdy doll. He has been constructed to last a very long time. The inside of her body has been filled with plaster which gives him some weight. The hands are made from polymer clay and are then given a coat of ink which seeps into the crevices to enhance the details. The arms are made from copper wire and have been attached to the hands with epoxy. There is a supporting wire underneath the leather that has been used to frame the head. The face area of the leather has been given a clear coating to emphasize the facial features. The entire doll is extremely sturdy. The abdomen of Leatherface has been painted with a very high quality acrylic ink so brushstrokes are undetectable. The neck has been wrapped with leather cording. There is a leather base so furniture will be protected and the base has been wrapped with leather cording to finish it off.
