Alisa Filippova Artist Dolls using Living Doll Clay

  
       I am always searching for anything that invites emotion....These creations are just one of many things that accomplish this task...This young Russian Artist creates these amazing "One of a Kinds" using a Sculpey product called " Living Doll....
      
        I have used this clay and found it to be extremely easy to work with. Very sturdy and takes color well..At that time the only thing that I did not like was that it did not have a translucent quality...The color was good but I thought that it was too opaque...Boy, was I wrong...:)

        Please enjoy these photo's....

Large Enchanted Doll

         I NEEDED to add this STUNNING work of Art from Enchanted Doll...Marina Bychkova..Up until this moment , her Art Dolls have always been 13" of ( in my opinion)  unsurpassed perfection in porcelain...with a smidge of resin for affordability on occasion...This Beauty stands a regal 36" tall...Gloriana...Please forgive her nudity, as I truly do not wish to offend, BUT, with that being said, it would be impossible to appreciate her workmanship and engineering accomplishments dressed in even the FINEST of fabrics...To see more of her please visit www.enchanteddoll.com....Enjoy
