Dolls are inherently creepy. The unblinking eyes. The unmovable expressions. Hell, a new horror film<\/a> is coming up built on that premise. Remember my trip to Germany last year and the doll restaurant<\/a>? Yep. Not a big fan of dolls. However, there is always room for change. And that change happened when I saw these handmade dolls from Russia. Two different artists. Russia is known for exceptional detail in their artwork. Their icons from many centuries ago are ornate.<\/p>\n

\"Christ.the_.Pantocrator\"<\/a> \"Iverskaya-Mother\"<\/a> \"160N08844_6D4HJ\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And little has changed. One dollmaker is named Marina Bychkova and she is amazing. I know that word gets thrown around frequently, but hear me out. Marina makes articulated porcelain dolls with poseable limbs. She paints their faces. Then she embroiders and hand-beads their clothes. AND those metal headdresses, she makes them too. See? Amazing.<\/p>\n

Then there are the Popovy Sisters. Their work is more modern but I love it as well. It reminds me of Alexander McQueen’s work but wee.<\/p>\n

I could get on board with these dolls. NOBODY START SENDING ME DOLLS, THOUGH. FOR REALSIES. WORST NIGHTMARE. Unless they are by these artists. Then, mildly okay. OTHERWISE NO DOLLS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
