I think Marmite Sue's work is amazing. It's so unique and creative. I don't really like her childlike dolls but the adult female dolls are breathtaking. I always enjoy seeing photos of her work.

Eli has just posted two photos of the dolls she will ship in September. I was speechless when I saw the faces of Una and Lan...The paintjob on her new Moonglass material far exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to see them fully assembled. painting moonglass by Marmite Sue, sur Flickr

Wow, I am also impressed! They don't seem to have that shiny finish I disliked in the earlier Moonglass dolls. Her paint skills are fantastic.

I was just on Flickr looking at more Moonglass photos. There was a description of the material, but doesn't say exactly what it is. Is Moonglass a type of resin?

It's a new material, a new kind of ceramic composite. It is more like porcelain than resin in that it needs to be fired and China painted. But it is supposed to be unbreakable/shatter resistant.

Marmite Sue invented it, I think with help from her partner. She always seems to be pushing the boundaries of dolls and trying to engineer something new. From the beginning she was carving away portions of porcelain, I think to see how far she could take it. Then she tried adding resin dolls to her brand, and adding spring tension systems. Then she made the resin dolls more carved. She put a working music box in one of her dolls. And now Moonglass and Shell, which are both shatter resistant porcelain-like materials.
She is not afraid of the unknown and has amazing vision. I admire her work very much.

I have on order a Moonglass Marmite Sue Doll which was due to ship in September. Eli emailed me to explain that there were some small hitches and that the September dolls would be shipping about 2 months late. I haven't heard anything since, will post on the board here when I hear any more news

There are some delays due to technical problems. She had to do many of her dolls all over again, black flecks appeared when she started China painting them. The first batch of dolls - normally due in September - has been postponed to January or February at the latest.
