Beautiful Beasts by Sabine Vogel "I can not remember that there ever was a time in my life where I've [not] modeled anything. In this sense, art has always been a natural part of my life. My work is characterized by a mixture of natural realistic portraits, fiction and myths. When I work on a new object, I am interested in finding out who it is, where it comes from, what it has experienced - like or dislike. In this way it is possible for me to create a stand-alone, all-encompassing nature. Not to copy life, but it is my personal vision to create new and strengthened. The vitality is at my work in the foreground. The viewer should get the impression that he is facing an animal with its own personality. To deepen this impression it is possible to move the body and change with every change of posture also be reflecting the fact emotion." (autotranslated. source) Sabine's dolls are hugely varied in theme and execution. From ghostly and ethereal to fantastic, they are all beautiful! She often modifies the doll's face and body sculpt to incorporate fantastical elements. Some jewelry and clothing is enameled or painted on, which preserves a sense of realistic scale. Her dolls are 22 inches (56cm) tall and have double jointed knees and elbows. Some have single jointed knees. Her dolls have glass eyes. Most of Sabine's dolls seem to be costumed and OOAK. Definitely check out her website, that is where most of the photos are and the most recent dolls are not Flickr. I am enjoying following this very creative artist! website ~ Flickr Nautila submersum relaxing by SabineVogel, on Flickr Bora by SabineVogel, on Flickr Much Ado About Nothing - Beatrice by SabineVogel, on Flickr Mata Hari by SabineVogel, on Flickr Mantis - relaxed by SabineVogel, on Flickr

I love Sabine's work! I actually was trying to get one of her dolls a few months ago, but had to cancel the deal Apparently, if an item costs over 1000 euros and is being shipped outside of Germany, they have a ton of export fees, plus you have to look into buying separate insurance. It's so sad, because I really fell in love with one of her dolls. So just to warn anyone who is not living in Germany who may want one of these gorgeous dollies, be prepared to pay way more than the listed price to have one shipped to you...

I remember her from long ago before she started creating BJDs. I didn't realize she had begun jointing her figures. Beautiful!

Sabine's dolls are so beautiful! If I had the money I would own at least 3 of them , but I guess I'll stay with only 1 for now. Though I am really tempted to get a male doll from her one day, too. Yes, the issue with the shipping of such pricey items if you live abroad is always a difficult thing .

Yes, the custom fees, too. I am willing to accept those if only I could have a guarantee that the doll will arrive fast, safe and without damage. And what really annoys me are the ridiculous high prices for extra insurance .
