Commissioned Dolls GUILLAUME and SEVERIN

Finally the project I have been working on since spring 2018 is finished!

Two commissioned porcelain ball jointed dolls with portrait likeness for a customer in France.

They arrived safely to their new home and met their owner. I was very nervous, as I always am , if I answered the expectations of the customer.

But I had no reasons to be worried. My dear customer was overwhelmed and truly pleased with the result!

“Dear Ekaterina,….

…I opened the box, and saw the dolls…

I think I repeat me, but once again, how beautiful, spruce, elegant they are..

You’ve got in your hands a real and pure talent. I thank you so much for your patient work.

I’m very happy of our collaboration, and I was very lucky to find you.

I was thinking of the dolls for my wife for several years, and never found someone who could help me. Then I saw your dolls!..

You are an amazing artist and a wonderful person!….

Guillaume

Such words make an artist in me fly! It is truly satisfying after months of work to achieve the result that makes other people sooo happy!

I wish everybody a wonderful week 🙂

LISA – porcelain Bjd on EBay

rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0

LISA is not a new girl. I made her in 2016 and she brought me a special prize of Max-Oscar-Arnold Art Award in Modern Doll Art by city of Coburg in Germany.

I decided to give her a new outfit and a new wig, and this is exactly the case when a new hair color changes the girl for the better, in my opinion.

With her new dark brown curly hair, her green eyes began to shine even brighter. She became more… Parisian sort of girl, I think 🙂

The new outfit I gave her is made of my favorite wild silk. The tutu-rock is made of dozens of real silk flower petals colored and shaped in the form using millinery instruments by me.

Her hair band is a very special mini version of the silk flower deco band of the real-human-size, made also by me.

I think all these changes made LISA shine brighter and made her like a little rose flower, tender, but knowing her beauty!

BELLE – new girl is on EBay

Shortly before Exhibition in Moscow in March, I was able to finish a new porcelain bjd doll. I called her Belle.

Her body is like a warm caramel. Super silky to the touch.

The clothes are made from real wild silk and decorated with silk mini flowers made by me using the millinery technique for flowers of “human-size”.

The doll has two wigs: one is long blond straight style made of Goat Hair and super soft.

The other wig is made of Mohair hair and is curly.

Belle is on eBay

Alice in Wonderland

Shortly before my dear Alice found a new home in France, I was able to make some photo shooting of her inspired by her magical adventures in Wonderland.

It was really fun to create all the requisite for the photos: making the paper flowers for the enchanted garden scene; creating a Rabbit house, where Alice was so unexpectedly enlarged, or finding all the funny bottles, and pretty porcelain cups…

I wish I had more time to play with the girl and her friend White Rabbit.. but this is as it is.. when the doll finds her new home, you have to let her go with the light heart, no matter how “in love” you are at the moment with your latest creation 🙂

My new doll ALICE in WONDERLAND

I have finished a new doll specially for the doll exhibition in Prague. It is Alice in Wonderland and her friend Little White Rabbit.

Doll Prague Exhibition 2017

Two days ago I returned from Doll Exhibition in Prague. I spent three magical days surrounded by beautiful dolls, teddy bears and their talented creators. The visitors had a chance to see true stars of the doll scene from all around the world. And I could be a part of this magical time!

Alongside with some older works, I made a new doll specially for the Prague Exhibition. It is the ALICE in WONDERLAND DOLL with her friend WHITE RABBIT.

The rabbit was made using the pattern by Anna Palto and with the help of her wonderful tutorial.

Also this doll is also brand new. I love her dark caramel color! Still thinking about her outfit 😉

And here is her sister – a very tender Foxy Girl. She is a teddy-doll with flexible arms and legs with a doll skeleton. I wanted to make a posable teddy-doll and I think my experiment works out pretty well 🙂

More photos of Snow White and Rose Red

I had a really nice time making more photos of my new girls, this time not in the wood but at home. So to say studio photos 🙂


Every time I make new dolls, I think I love these specific  dolls more then previous ones 😌

Is not they beautiful? 😊

And of course, I would not manage without my little helper!

The dolls are available in my Etsy Shop. The link to the shop is in the Website Menu 🙂

Black Porcelain Beauty LILY

My beautiful porcelain BJD LILY was adopted by the same collector who bought my first doll Maria. So, as a gesture of my appreciation, I’ve decided to make a dress for my little LILY 🙂

A friend of my, a stylist, told me, that she sees Lily only in yellow 😉 So… here she is – My LILY in a fairy-like yellow creation!

Commissioned Doll MARIA2

Hello,

want to show today photos of my first commissioned doll. This is Maria2-porcelain ball-jointed doll. I gave her blue glass eyes of superior quality, hand-crafted in Germany.

It was a very valuable experience for me to work on a doll in certain time frames and under obligations. It was not always easy and smooth.. considering the unpredictable character of such a material as porcelain. But in the end, I think, she turned out a beauty 🙂 Love her Love her!!

The girl is already in her new home in Germany. I hope she will bring lots of joy to her very nice owner 🙂
