Ive tried to reach Eeriestuff.com but have not heard back from them concerning purchasing that wonderful kit. I love your imagination and talent on this piece and would love to see more of your work. I can be contacted at moondoggary@yahoo.com......thanks so much and keep up the great work.Jkd Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01313387557969224052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30701633.post-13930641050076028992012-03-17T21:35:13.311-05:002012-03-17T21:35:13.311-05:00What a wonderful marriage of the elegance and life...What a wonderful marriage of the elegance and life-like colors of a porcelain doll, with the pose-ability of ball-jointed dolls!

About 10 years ago I made some dolls that have been added to my collection, that was a very fun time, building them from scratch. These dolls are so intricate and delicate, I have never seen lace engraved right into dolls very unique. They have a serene almost spooky quality. Thank you for sharing your lovely post and passing on another great artisan!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168234897426815540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30701633.post-24420896640916181412012-03-15T09:42:44.480-05:002012-03-15T09:42:44.480-05:00Awesome photos of these dolls and the history of t...Awesome photos of these dolls and the history of them. I am a great admirer of them but have never made any. I once ordered a cloth doll done so well I had to have her and I don't collect dolls! She was from Russia and hand crafted from a poor artist there. She has a site of all her work on flikr. This story just inspires me to want to make some, I too love the jointed ones the best. To pose them into life like positions. Thank you so much for sharing this, I will be tell my friends about this too!Brenda Salzanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14483710289194574427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30701633.post-59254062808481705192012-03-15T09:29:44.132-05:002012-03-15T09:29:44.132-05:00Oh wow, these are antique?
