Scandal! Lithuanian girl recasted famous ukrainian artist dolls and social media are ragging!

Dear all,We have been made aware of a rather prolific scalper selling recasts as their own work for upwards of $1200-$4600 on Etsy and Instagram. Her name is Agne Mikalauskiene or agnietedolls on Instagram.This person is claiming to have done the full creative process of sculpting and casting dolls such as: Dollshe Amanda and even smaller artist dolls. Instead what this person has done is buy recast heads and bodies, paint them up and then sell at artist doll prices. One obvious giveaway is the one week creative timeframe. Here are the links to the evidence on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CYAOe8SoBCh/...https://www.instagram.com/p/CYE4eN8IUIB/...https://www.instagram.com/bjdawareness/p/CYCQH_nJ7om/...If you have purchased from this person and would like support please don’t hesitate to contact us.Comments are on, however if we spot arguments they will not be tolerated. No warnings given before deletion. Your comments will be removed and you may be muted. This post is about the scalping NOT the recasting no matter your feelings on this issue. https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005001392018205.html

After Anna pointed out to the thief that she was shamelessly using the fruits of her labor, she still hoped that agnietedolls would think about it and stop doing so. But Anna thought of her better than she really is. Several days passed and Anna decided to check if it was possible to order another such doll with her body, which was previously sold by the thief. Since Anna was blocked, she texted her from another account and introduced herself as a girl from another country. Again, our stupid bootlegger did not suspect anything and said: “Of course you can order! The work will take a week, the price is 1600 $ "Anna was horrified again! After all, yes, many people buy a counterfeit and their main argument is a very low price, several times lower than original. This is not an excuse, but it is a fact. But here the thief sells more expensive than the original author and even sends a certificate of the authenticity with her fakes! Anna felt sincerely sorry for those who unconsciously buy it for a huge price. She waited for a link from the thief to a new doll on Etsy and went to report about copyright infringement. And what Etsy did, you will find out in the next part, because a lot of text for one post. This is the end of today's fairy tale, and in the carousel, as usual, there are screenshots I also want to express my deep gratitude to everyone who supports me in this difficult struggle! People, you are amazing, and together we can do more! There is already a result - madame has been removed from many Facebook groups. Complaints about doll forums and social media resources were sent. I was even offered real legal assistance  The wave turned out to be huge, I did not expect!

Realistic fashion style BJD’s – Marmite Sue

Aspotlight post about Marmite Sue BJD’s, detailing what makes these artist-created dolls unique and special. In this blog series, I will share information about some well-known and lesser-known ball jointed doll artists who work in resin in around 16″ (1/4 or 40-45cm) size, so theoretically these dolls would look good as a companion to the Popovy Sisters dolls I own. In following posts I will also talk about similar realistic fashion style BJD’s in materials such as porcelain and similar dolls in alternative sizes.

Poseability:

For the Dentelle and Natural type body, there was an option to order a spring system or elastic strung body. As I have the elastic strung body myself I can’t review the spring system advantages, but according to Marmite Sue, this was created for precise posing. My Noi has a bit of difficulty standing on her high heel feet, as they are sculpted in such a way that the doll almost stands on her tiptoes and her ancles have a tendancy to shift the doll’s weight forward. Her knees are ingeniously crafted with very delicate slots, so they gently lock when she is upright (as can be seen in the promo picture for her release in June 2012, below). The legs on her ball joints also have a little locking mechanism.

Bjd dolls for sale

BJD(balljointed doll) is any doll that is articulated with ball & socket joints.BJD usually refers to ABJD,Asian ball jointed dolls.these are generally hard,dense plastic, and the parts strung together with a thick elastic.These are normally produced in japan,south-korea and china.They commonly range in size from about 60 cms for the larger dolls to 10 cms the tinny BJD’s.

The history of commercially produced Asian resin BJD’s began in 1999 when the Japanese company VOLKS created the Super Dolfie line of dolls.The first super dolfie were 57cm tall,strung with elastic,ball jointed  ,similar to garaze kits,which was volks main produc at that time.

Modern asian BJD’s are intended for adult collectors and customizers and range in price from US$100 to over US$1000. BJD’s are readily customizable.Wings and eyes are easy to remove and replace,as well as heads,hands,and feet.A doll may even be a hybrid of parts from different companies.Some BJD owners or customizers even re-shape existing parts by sanding them or applying epoxy putty to them. There is a sizable international community dedicated to BJD’s.The largest English language BJD internet community,’’Den of Angels’’,has over 43,000 members as of February-2016. There are also vinyl dolls that are being used now-a-days.There are several types of larger 60cm vinyl dolls in japan.they are in the same scale as full sized BJDs,with similar proportions.vinyl dolls usually have facial features that are more highly stylized after anime and less realistic than the typical resin BJDs.Vinyl dolls are easier to manufacture ,machine made and injecton molded in soft vinyl and thus lighter and often less expensive than their Japanese resin counterparts.The modern BJD market began with Volks line of Super dolfie in 1999.Super dolfie and dolfie are registered trademarks but are sometimes erroneously used as generic blanket terms to refer to all asian BJDs regardless of manufacturer.

Doll collecting is a very special hobby. It permits people to hold on to memories and to physically cradle their connections to childhood in their hands. Doll collecting and doll artistry are indeed powerful pastimes — and the term “past” and “times” are extremely relevant to Connie Lowe’s Marbled Halls 2022 lineup of dolls.

For Lowe, the past year had been a roller-coaster ride of emotional highs and devastating lows. “This year has brought about many changes in my business,” she said. “The year has been one of delays due to factory slowdowns with lingering COVID and supply-chain issues, coupled with the past six months of ongoing family matters that needed my full attention at times.

“These personal tragedies have led to some positive changes for me, however. I have continued creating the Stella family, with the last two additions being Pearl, my father’s sister, and Ginger, my mother’s sister.”

While Lowe navigated the illness of her mother, and the physical demands and emotional stress it placed upon her, Connie continued to use those final moments to honor her family’s lineage and their survival and endurance through economic upheavals of the 1930s. “Of late, I am mainly influenced by my mother and the Depression era. Most of the dolls are tied to family in one way or another. Stella is a direct connection to my mother, Stella Laverne. My goal is to keep the Depression-era dolls in the foreseeable future, while adding some new things and also bringing back old favorites like Eppie, who will make an appearance at the Austin BJDC in Texas.”

During Lowe’s hospital visits with her mother, Connie spoke about the continuation of the family’s female figures as scrappy, feisty, and emotionally powerful dolls. “The Ginger doll is very special to me. In the hospital, my mom gave me direction, even designing the clothing, and I sketched and then sculpted. All of this happened while I was at hotels and in hospitals. I was so happy to have a completed sample to take to my mom just before she passed.”

The Ginger character, which honors her mother’s sister, is a testament to how much Lowe reveres the matriarchs in her heritage. These representations of young girls are proud and determined, emblematic of America’s can-do spirit in the face of adversity. “My dolls carry strong emotions with them. Their personalities show through and allow for much playtime and realistic photo shoots,” Lowe said.

In creating dolls that mirror her family’s past, Lowe also reflects the personal histories of all the women and children who lived during those challenging times. TV shows like The Waltons, along with books and movies like The Grapes of Wrath and Judy’s Journey, have solidified how many contemporary people view the clothing, hairstyles, and attitudes of the 1930s. Lowe’s dolls are another tactile way to understand and embrace our nation’s past. The artist even has a book project underway to further explore these familial connections and memories.

Between her physical travels to spend precious time with family and her mental journeys with her relatives’ younger selves, Lowe acknowledges that 2022 has been a difficult and volatile time. She is grateful that she was able to take care of family obligations as well as professional ones. “My collectors have been great. I thank them for sticking with me and being a supporting force throughout it all. For next year, I have plans for many changes and hope to have a few surprises along the way.”

Incredibly Detailed Cake Decorations By Chinese Patissier

Cakes are no longer just dessert served to guests on special occasions. Today, many of them are true edible works of art! To prove this, we present to you a cake artist whose works won the First International Best Prize at Cake International in 2017, the world’s largest cake competition held in the UK.

Chinese patissier Zhou Yi is best known as “Sugar King” in his native country and looking at his incredibly detailed and beautiful handmade works, it’s easy to understand why. Yi molds fondant into human figurines that look more like porcelain dolls than edible decorations. His works mostly feature elements of Chinese culture and traditional art. One of his best works includes Wu Zetian, China’s first and only female emperor, which was presented at the cake competition. The statue was so incredibly detailed that the viewers could even count her eyelashes!

Yi has spent many hours learning Chinese techniques of food carving and dough modeling. Therefore, we can now certainly call him a grandmaster when it comes to molding fondant into figurines and accessories. He even operates a cake workshop named Suzhou, near Shanghai, and regularly posts his intricate works on his social media accounts for his fans.

These Porcelain Dolls Look Perfectly Traditional Except For Their Sailor Tattoos

These traditional porcelain dolls look very graceful, but they would be perhaps a bit boring if it weren’t for the fact that they’re covered in such badass sailor tattoos!

These tattoos were drawn by artist Jessica Harrison from Edinburg, Scotland. She created “The Painted Ladies” series as part of a larger exhibit called “Flash,” which is being held in Galerie L.J., Paris. In her artist’s statement Jessica writes that the idea behind the painted ladies is “to re-describe the body in sculpture through the skin, offering an alternative way of thinking about the body beyond a binary tradition of inside and outside.”

So, what do you prefer: the traditional porcelain dolls or these rockstar versions?

Creepily Realistic NSFW Porcelain Dolls By Russian Artist

Dolls might be seen as toys, but in the right hands they can become enchanting art. Russian jeweler artist and designer Marina Bychkova, who lives in Canada, creates stunning one-of-a-king ball-jointed porcelain dolls for adults.

Marina says that her calling for creating dolls became evident back when she was only 6. She couldn't stand how boring and mediocre the mass-produced dolls were, so Marine started making toys that suited her own ideas of beauty. Eventually, the training at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design influenced her to commit to the doll making as a career. According to the creator, she named the brand after Paul Gallico’s short story called “Enchanted Doll”. Fiction reflects in most of her works, as Marina recreates such well-known characters as Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood.

The dolls are meticulously made using high quality materials, such as porcelain, gold, silver, and even Swarovski crystals. They help to achieve uniqueness and sophisticated beauty. Depicting sensuality and delicacy, these dolls will enchant anyone who lays eyes on them.
