New OOAK Porcelain BJD "Forgotten" Available Now!

Hi all!
  I just wanted to let you know that my newest OOAK Porcelain BJD "Forgotten" is available now on the Dollery.com website. The Dollery is having their 33rd Annual Doll Show and Sale.   "Forgotten" is an original OOAK BJD commissioned by the Dollery from one of my original dolls I made in 2011 that was featured on the cover of Contemporary Dolls Magazine and has become the logo for my Turtle Child Studio.  This doll is unique in her own right however.  "Forgotten" is a sad pantomime clown who has been left alone for centuries in a trunk.  No one comes to visit or play with her anymore (her child companion is long gone).  Her once vibrant paint is streaked with tears.   She wears a hand blocked felt hat, with a newspaper fabric corset (with attached "key wind" in the back). She has hand made silk shoes which are removable and she has a custom stand. She also carries a small hand-made stick clown puppet which has been her only companion.
 All my BJDS are made with high quality porcelain, this doll is no exception and is made of Dresden color porcelain.  High fire paints ensure a beautifully finished doll.  She has 18 points of articulation and paper-weight blue glass eyes.  Forgotten comes with a hand signed COA and gift box.  Please contact the Dollery for purchase or kmalone@dollery.com.

Started work on a new BJD!


Hi everyone! 
  I hope you are all handling the summer well!  It has been hot here!  I am very happy to have started on a new project a gofun bjd.  This one is "Alice", she will be 18 inches tall when finished.  I am trying to finish her within in the next month so she will be ready for the Dollery's fall show.  I would also like to sculpt a Mad Hatter to accompany her, but I don't know if I will have the time...so right now I will just concentrate on Alice.  As of today I have her head fully sculpted and finished.  This is the way it looks sculpted in the stone clay.  After I have the rest of the body done I will coat it in several layers of gofun.  Gofun is a pigment made of ground oyster shell...when it is applied in thin layers to a doll it looks like the finest porcelain.  This is a very time consuming process, that is why I say I don't think I will have time to make a Mad Hatter as well.  I will post pictures here on my blog as I work.  Stay cool everyone!
