Suspense is killing me. I can only imagine the beauty of the new doll. It sounds like she will be lethally stunning.
Anthony, did Yana mentioned her size?

I am soOoOoOo EXCITED for this new released doll. No, she didn't, but I also didn't ask :-(.... But I'm sure we will know soon, since apparently she will be releasing preview shots within the next few weeks^^ ~Anthony

It sounds to be like she will be the same size as the smaller dolls? Looking forward to seeing what Rafael has sculpted this time...

Yana, said she is slightly taller than her Bidolls. Well, in any case i think she will be stunning, and i cannot wait to see her.

Just to let you all know on Rafael's facebook there's a picture of the new torso for the lithe doll line.

She will be more grand than Aurora with her beautiful tattoos, wigs, shoes and everything else.

My favourite is the lace! It looks so realistic..... fantastic work!

The dragonfly is awesome.
I have to admit the lace confuses me. I think it must have been applied to the porcelain. It can't be carved and cast in porcelain, surely the medium would not allow it? You could not make the mold...
Perhaps the lace has been soaked in porcelain slip and then attached. I'm not sure, but it might last through firing if done this way.
No slight against Rafael. She is obviously a master carver, but I just can't believe it's possible!

I have a set of porcelain ballet dancers and they have porcelain lace dresses, no idea how it's done though!

Maybe she uses paper porcelain? Allurose, the idea of mixing lace and porcelain slip is something I've wanted to try for quite some time...I haven't done it yet though. I wonder if the lace will burn off properly and leave the porcelain intact.

I wonder if the lace will burn off properly and leave the porcelain intact. I am so skeptical. I would worry that when the lace burns from inside the slip, the remaining shell of fired slip would be too thin to withstand any kind of refining/painting/end use. It would be as thin as tissue paper and not much stronger, wouldn't it? People have been making impressions with lace in clay for a long time, and artists like Marmite Sue have achieved some detailed lace-like work with carving away at a master or the cast porcelain. I haven't seen anything like this done before myself. Obviously it is worth trying! The effect as seen in Rafael's photo is just amazing.

You can also add paper pulp to the slip; the fiber in the paper adds strength to the porcelain and can be worked, carved, torn etc. more easily. You can also add thin steel wire as an armature to reinforce the shape.
