Retreating To the World of Dolls

I suppose everyone has his or her own sanctuary, a safe place to hide and escape from the chaotic world. And as the world right now seems to be more chaotic than ever, I become more and more attached to all my lovely little dolls, they are so cute and beautiful in their own way. When I come home late everynight, I love to sit down before my dolls and watch them quietly. They can make me smile and feel happy. In the world of dolls, there's no cruelty, no selfishness, no bad, mean people, it's the world of eternal joy, the world I want to live in : )

My World

Jak's Birthday

22nd of May is Jak's Birthday and as usual, I draw her a brithday card. And because Jak is more obsessed about dolls than me, this year I sent her this drawing of Porpia, her favorite Blythe and herself.

More Dolls

My faithful E680 had become gaga lately and I couldn't use the drawpad for some time. I nearly gave up and was on the brink of throwing it away, when suddenly it was ok again. I didn't know why and how, but I really enjoy using it to draw once again. While the phone went crazy, I had started a new bad habit of buying dolls and other related stuff , like doll wigs, doll eyes or dollhouses from Ebay and other doll sites. Some are vintage and some are new reproduction of the old ones, like Qing ขิง, my Tiny Betsy Mccall red head doll. While browsing madly through Ebay, I found these adorable 8" Betsy Mccall dolls by Tonner. Thry are reproductions from early Betsy Mccall which were originally made in 1950s. They have sleep eyes and their legs are bendable. Betsy Mccalls look like real ladies when dressed in 1950s fashion style. I so love them.

Qing

XXS is not mine, she is my niece Poire's micro doll who used to be a mobile charm in her last life : ) In the flesh, XXS is so charming with big broad smile and Poire made her many tiny, cute dresses and carries her everywhere. So I drew XXS and sent it to Poire. Now XXS graces Poire's Facebook profile page. You've come a long way baby!!
