View into the studio / Dollmakerie

The way a figure is created is always similar

The inspiration / sketch is mostly created in nature. Then it`s off to the studio: First I shape the body. Then the face, hands and feet are molded from polymer clay. Here the figure develops its character… My hair / breads are made of mohair. I use only glass eyes… than comes the colour: each doll is hand- painted to get its skin complexion. Now the clothes. Every dress every pair of trousers, every hat, every shoe is sewn by hand; shawls or scarves are individually crocheted.All of my dolls are made from high quality materials! Likewise the scene in which they move. Here I use a lot of natural materials and specially made miniatures. My dolls are work of art and are intended as valuable decorations. They are not made for playing or undressing. All dolls are unique and can only be created once. Every figure brings its certificate. Have fun with these magical creatures! Please give them a good home and enjoy their fabulous presence… Lela Bürgin
