Hi I'm Hasel, I live in the Netherlands, my job is connected to dolls of all sorts and sizes as I'm currently mainly a wig maker. Besides that my most important activity is making art. I've studied art for 5 years and am now working as an artist for a little more then one year. I used to make loads of drawings and statue's but that felt uncomplete for me as I wanted my art to be able to have an interaction with the viewer. So I started learning how to use porcelin about a year ago and I have just finished my first portrait in porcelin  You can see more of my work (and maybe read my thesis which is about dolls) here: www.annevanstormbroek.nlAnd see more of my photo's here: www.flickr.com/photos/hasel-anne/I'm hoping to meet loads of interesting people here and to learn more about porcelin dolls (as I've never held one of another artist  ) |

Since you did one doll based on a model- will you continue to make dolls based on specific people? He is fantastic by the way, and I love the photos in the woods, like a fairytale. It is like he is part of the forest. Where did you find such a pure and perfect place?

Thank you Annina, that must be a long time ago so nice that you remember! Fitz Yes, right now I just started working on a portrait of one of my girlfriends My friends are my models because the love and friendship we share is what inspires me. And thank you ^^ it is a forest on the other side of our village, Oranjewoud it is called. It's a beautifull diverse forest and we just took a walk for a morning. We often go for walks or bikerides and I'm always on the look out for beautifull scenery, I love to use nature as my backdrop ^^ |

I visited Germany last year and I was amazed by how many "wild" forests there were within short distance of urban centers. It seemed to me there has bee thoughtful consideration put towards maintaining open space. And the forests were beautiful, not at all like the ones here in the western U.S. I wish I had taken photos with my doll there. She was with me but I never even thought of it! Hasel you are lucky to be near such lush places!

Yes I am ^^ We live in such a cool place, if I bike towards the other side, I bike through open fields and at a certain point there is an old peat excavation, now it's mainly nature and birds breeding place but it's gorgeous and very diverse. Big parts of it are swamp like and really cool XD I'm already planning to have my next doll-human photoshoot there because that friend is very into dead and decay (okay this sounds weird but she's and artist to and her work just is about stuff like that) and it's just perfect XD
