Dolls and Ceramics: BJD Hybrid and Heart Boxes

The doll comes from a dear friend of mine, Alison. She was parting with this doll at a convention and I fell in love with her. My friend has such a good eye for color, fashion, and interesting BJD hybrids. She even dressed the doll in this cute ensemble! The doll pictured is a hybrid of a Peak’s Woods KoonieS head on a Doll Chateau kid body. The outfit is from a Tonner doll called “The Intriguing” that fits the Antoinette body. The lace bodysuit is a little tight and makes in hard to pose the doll, but I do my best to make it work since I love the attire.

The ceramic item pictured is my heart box made from a slipcasting mold. It’s an old Duncan mold I picked up a couple years ago and it’s one of my favorites. I typically put a few pieces of handmade heart-shaped recycled paper in each box.

There are more images of several heart boxes and the doll on my Instagram account.

Dolls and Ceramics: Kikipop and Cat Dish

Kikipop and a cat dish. I feel like I have a goofy collection of photos.

The second slip-casting mold I ever made was all the little kitties on the cat dish above. I added four cats to a wheel-thrown bowl and painted it with underglaze. Maybe there is a pet cat out there that deserves some pastel cute culture in their life.

The doll pictured is Kikipop. This Kikipop doll is from 2015 and called “Honey Pink.” She is from the first run of Kikipop dolls made in collaboration with Azone. Her body has great construction and it takes very little effort to get her into a cute pose. She is wearing her original wig and Mattel Sanrio clothing.

There are more images of the bowl and doll on my Instagram account.

Dolls and Ceramics: Vintage Skipper and The Bunny Bowl

A friend commissioned a challenge — a large serving bowl with cute bunnies around the edges. This is a part of my new ceramic series that combines vessels with objects from old slip-casting molds. I also made a Medusa pot in the same fashion. I picked up a couple bunny molds a few months ago and started using them just in time for Easter.

Typically, my ceramic work is pretty small. It was a nervous task to take on a big bowl. The bowl is a slab laid into a plaster mold. I slip-casted six bunnies and attached them to the bowl. After some careful drying of the bunny bowl, I added eyes with underglaze and bisqued the piece. I added a clear glaze and called it good. It’s a tad wobbly, but it is pretty decent for my first large prototype in this series.

The doll pictured is a vintage Skipper in a random bunny costume that, I think, was originally intended for a BJD. She’s wearing Momoko boots.

There are more images of the bowl and doll on my Instagram account.

Dolls and Ceramics: Coney Island Poppy Parker & Ugly Cup

Since I started my ceramics journey about a year and a half ago, it has been hard to figure out what to post on my social media accounts that are doll-centric. Should I post my ceramics work there? I didn’t know. I decided I would try a creative strategy of posting dolls and ceramics together. Welcome to the weird posts dolls and pots. Here we go.

Pictured is the lovely Coney Island Poppy Parker dressed in pieces of the 2013 Integrity Toys Monogram Completist outfit. The cup is the first hand-built cup I made when starting my ceramics journey. I made sure to decorate it with lots of techniques. I lovingly call it my ugly cup. It gets a lot of use as a mount for my phone holder so I can make videos of my work.

Pastels of Eden, Thiago, and Lilith

These dolls finally managed to make their way out of their boxes. Oh, the pastels! When I saw Monsieur Thiago, I just knew he would need to be part of the Eden and Lilith party. Thiago is so photogenic. It’s hard for me to pass up dolls with fun-colored hair. Eventually, I’ll have a dolly hair rainbow.

The dolls have a ridiculous amount of amazing accessories. I love tiny doll rings and each doll has one. Necklaces, purses, earrings, amazing shoes, and extra hands? Yep, they have plenty. Sometimes dolls inspire me to add an extra accessory before I leave the house.

These dolls are made by Integrity Toys. Their official names are Mademoiselle Eden Blair, Monsieur Thiago Valente, and Mademoiselle Lilith Blair. These dolls are wearing their original outfits and accessories.
