Enchanted Doll

Toys, they most definitely are not, but these dolls are indisputably works of art. The gallery of this group contains some of the most amazing images of the creations of the Russian born porcelain doll artist Marina Bychkova. Ball jointed and anatomically correct, and with features that could include nose-rings, freckles and scarification, to name but a few, the dolls are about as far removed from Barbies as Courtney Love is from a nun . Male and female dolls, artistically tattooed dolls and costumed dolls, are photographed in posed settings, which showcase their incredible possibilities. No threads on the discussion board and not that many wall posts either, but I believe strongly that beauty should be shared and that is why I am sharing this.

What's great about this group: It celebrates the art of a very talented young woman.

A word of caution: If your concept of a doll, is that of plastic, but safe image of a mass-produced Barbie, avoid this group.

Update (29 April 2024)
I don't think this group exists anymore.
