Yes!! I'm so glad you posted this. I had in my notes that "dd-anne" made porcelain BJDs but I couldn't find the work anywhere! Know I know the brand it will be much easier. And how beautiful and delicate they are!
Is she really porcelain? She has that warm resin look!

Oh my goodness, such a fragile beauty. Amal can you please stop finding beautiful dolls that I can't afford!  |

Hehe, I agree with merrijane. This doll is so beautiful, and delicate, I really like her upper body part (bust) and her facial expression! <3

Uh-huh! She is definitely porcelain:  Jun 15, 2014 - soft fire done by dd-anne, on Flickr But DD-Anne really has a real gift for painting warmth. Just look at that face:  Jun 22, 2014 - working in process by dd-anne, on Flickr merrijane, sorry!! This forum is a good and evil in equal measures!! Hehehe Duende, me too - her serene face is just lovely. It's almost as if her eyes aren't closed at all, in that she is still so expressive... |

DD-Anne's work is so beautifull, I had the pleasure to meet her and see her dolls in real life a few months ago (I'm a long time fan, my first resin doll was from her) She's really nice and the doll is so pretty. She might have the 'resin' look here because she didn't had enought time before she came to europe to give her a glaze so she found the solution in coloring her with acrylics. Right now she's remaking her molds to cast her again. She's crazy perfectionalist, she see's every little detail that she doesn't agree with and does everything to make it perfect.

Thanks so much for linking her flickr. I am amazed by all the dolls she has made/is making. She is practically a doll making MACHINE! And such pretty dolls too.

Hasel, I think that you offered DD-Anne some much needed support and encouragement through the difficulties of working with porcelain - it's really wonderful that artists can help each other online even with something that's so 'hands on'. I would never consider working with porcelain if it weren't for the amount of information and resources online specific to dollmaking.
Nene, are you on flickr? I agree, DD-Anne has a wonderful work ethic and works incredibly hard to make a living from dollmaking, but whilst continuing to push herself and learn new things. Really inspiring!

Thanks Heartstrung, I just tell her what I think (and sometimes try to explain something) sometimes we all need some support and to hear some words of encouragement. It's such fickle material to work with that seems hopeless at some points.
There are online resources? lol XD I just kind of went in there, without looking for information about porcelin dollmaking online and just asked a ceramist I know how to go about it and bought a bunch of stuff and just started. Maybe there should be a thread where people can list those resources.

Maybe there should be a thread where people can list online resources. That is an AWESOME idea. I'll try to do this at some point, but if someone else has time to start it sooner that would be awesome! |

I would love, love LOVE a list of online resources too. Should it just be a thread where everyone can contribute to and then maybe one of the mods could clean it up and make a single post for it?
