The Return of the Return of Doll Maker on Thursday!

Well, hello there!

This is a 

Double Feature!

(Please note, 

these aren't my photographs.

They're Georgina's.

I wish I could take photos as nice as this!)

(PS, see that fab hat?

It's available here.)

This lovely creature

is Georgina.

And Georgina is a doll maker

I've been following for quite some time.

She makes gorgeous dolls,

from the sweet Claude here.,

to the fantastically exotic

and ethereal

Demonette.

Georgina's dolls

challenge our notions of

a doll's anatomy.

This is Spoilt Claudia,

an Aracna doll,

with a spider's many eyes

and a spider's eight limbs.

Here she is as a

 work-in-progress.

Spider legs and all those eyes.

And here she is completed,

with her surprisingly sweet pout

and dreamy gaze.

All Georgina's dolls

are beautifully photographed,

and seem to inhabit

a glamorous environment

where they are completely at home.

Here is The Faun

as a WIP.

Here she is,

lounging by candlelight.

I love photographs of dolls held in the hand,

so here is the Faun again.

Georgina has given her

delicately fluffy and convincing faun legs

and graceful, elegant arms.

The dolls' bizarre bodies

and exotic faces

are complemented

by exquisite costumes

and ornate accessories.

Here, a flowing pink gown

contrasts with the avian face/mask.

Another doll-in-the-hand shot.

This is the Sleeping Demon.

The Sleeping Demon

has an intricate

bronze headpiece

and is otherwise naked,

showing her jointed limbs 

Here are her beautifully sculpted teeth

in what is possibly 

the nicest photo ever

of a doll's teeth.

Georgina's work is always fascinating

and I truly enjoy the way her figures

push the boundaries

of what we find beautiful

in a doll.

I think her dolls deserve 

to be better known.

Find her dolls

in her Etsy shop,

Nevermore Dolls.

Find Georgina on facebook.
