hello hello hello

folklorist who specialises in fairies. the fairy-tale atmosphere evoked by ball jointed dolls reminds me of what i love about my life’s work. such delight i have in seeing the creativity of others in the doll profiles here. he / him.

 

ah, my academic speciality is in fairies, not my doll interests. that said, i adore the Doll Chateau sculpts for how nearly-human they are in a similar fashion.

 

thank you! the smallest i have seen were the length of a finger.

 

i prefer 1/4 scale, but so many of them are styled to look like children or cute, so i often return to 1/3 scale. i am most intrigued by sculpts that have an unpleasantness to them - i chose my first doll, a Doll Chateau Laney, as the sculpt had such a unique irritation to its features.

 

i am experimenting with paint currently, as i have not painted resin dolls before, but i have loose plans for a predatory mermaid utilising the gorgeous skeletal Dream Valley abyss mermaid.
