Progress on the resin line…
…Is not as quick as I’d like it to be since I’m concentrating most of my efforts now on creating new dolls for the solo show in Berlin, and managing the inflow of entries for the Enchanted Doll birthday contest. For reasons already covered we were forced to move the entry deadline from the 13th to the 16th, which is tomorrow, and on Friday the 19th I will announce the winner of the contest.
I haven’t had time to test out my new airbrush yet as I’m still learning about it, but I can’t wait to put it to use and will show results when I have them. And did I ever mention that I’m having brand new boxes made for this line? I seem to remember mentioning something about their awesomeness… The first design went to the factory for proofing on correction last week and we hope the the full production will begin as soon as next week. I’m contemplating showing you the lid designs now, but my sixth sense is telling me to wait on that. You might have read in Doll Reader article that Nati is involved in this project.
Anyway. The wheels are turning on the Resin doll line, and there ain’t no stopping now. Things are looking very exciting at the Enchatned Doll studio! More information to be revealed soon.
The wait list for resin doll is still open, so if you haven’t signed up yet for the first release or Resin ED, please email me.

You must be so excited to be working on something new!! They are looking great so far!! Any news on how long to wait for a porcelain nude??! I am desperate!!! I check out your website at least twice a day, hoping for an update! I love the dolls so much, and all the beautiful photos. Keep up your amazing work! xxx
March 16th, 2010 02:29
That does look exciting! I can’t wait until the resin dolls are released… And for the Berlin show dolls to be finished!
March 16th, 2010 03:24
I agree with mayple! I think you should totally show us the lid design.
I spy a resin with elastic! Was this before your decision to use your spring system? Or was that particular doll just complaining too much about being in pieces, so you strung her up real quick to placate her?
March 16th, 2010 05:13
oh this is truly exciting to see! Thanks so much for taking us on the adventure with you. As far as the box goes…I’d stick with your gut instinct. I can’t tell you how many times it’s paid off for me. Why I choose to go against it sometimes is beyond me. LOL!

They are so beautiful. Painted or unpainted, resin or porcelain, they never fail to impress! I just want to reach into the picture and hold one.

The news about your collaboration with Nati is very exciting and the WIP pictures are a real treat.
Happy Birthday and thank you for the update. It’s great how you manage to juggle so many projects at once. I hope you’ll have a wonderful day and will find time to celebrate it properly.

It completely bypasses your painting skills (shame on me!) but I just love the way these look when they’re not painted.
P.S. - Happy Birthday.
March 16th, 2010 09:09

March 16th, 2010 11:59

March 16th, 2010 12:30
They look sooo good!
March 16th, 2010 15:05
Happy Birthday Marina!
I always love looking at unpainted dolls and I think it’s one of the strongest inspiration for me, like a white piece of paper. Tabula rasa, that’s it.
March 16th, 2010 18:20
Marina, HAPPY BIRTHDAY and many happy and achievements with its new beautiful line resin dolls and I’m sorry to bother you. I understand the text about made gift to you all wrong. I thought I could register until April 13, only after I realized that was until March 1. Well no problem….
God bless you!!!!!!
March 16th, 2010 18:23

March 16th, 2010 20:03
Oh, these are so beautiful!
I WAAAAANNNNT ONE!
They are beautiful just like they are, like a gorgeous, white piece of sculpture.
March 16th, 2010 21:08
I need help. I have searched the net everyday for “learning to be a doll artist” no result. I’m about to give up! You should write a book, Marina! I’d buy 15 copies of it, just because. Well, if anyone has “learning to be a doll artist” and can help me out, It’d be much, much appreciated!
p.s. Marina, you are too talented!!!!!
March 16th, 2010 23:28
Do I spy a bit of the box design?…ooooooo.
I’m wondering if you plan to have the magnetic wig system in the resin dolls? It’s so clever.
And Happy Birthday. I hope it was all you hoped it would be.
March 17th, 2010 08:16
Love your many views. New resin dolls are lookin, great! Is it possible to get a copy of all the magazines your dolls are in and continued new copies? Thanks for your speedy reply! Karen…in Ne. Chad is a fine artist’s helper!
March 17th, 2010 15:23
i just realized from the picture, you kept the mirror on the wall! quite a good idea in a way, it must be practical to see the back of what you are working with, and maybe it is a little like a ballet studio when the dolls are dancing on your desk.
March 17th, 2010 22:42
Happy birthday!
March 19th, 2010 17:40
