Happy Thanksgiving! Meet Marta!

(SOLD)  Just a perfect doll for November! 

Meet Marta.  Marta began as a 1969/1970 Gregor in need of makeover.  I began by doing a total cleaning and restringing so that she can now hold a pose.

Marta has a light blond synthetic mohair wig that I have styled in two pigtails.  I also photographed it brushed out.  It is very versatile!    Her light hair and extra dark coloring of an earlier doll reminded me of a beautiful "yellow/brown" eyed early Gotz doll that I had at one point in my Sasha family.  I wanted to do a similar eye style combined with that of a studio doll.

Marta's features have been repainted and sealed and she wears a dress by Luvzone on Ebay.  On her feet are older stockings and a pair of Sasha trainers distressed to look worn and old.

She was so much fun to photograph on this gray November day but her hair was all over the place with the wind!   She is a great doll for winter! 

Marta is $295 and overseas shipping is available.  (Since we are a registered business, we do need to declare the value on international packages.)  I may be reached here.  

(SOLD) Meet Charlotte!  Just in time for summer!

Charlotte began as a  1980's Sasha baby.  She has been remade into a new baby with strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes!  she comes dressed in summer overalls (that need their straps shortened just a little).  She has a two toned synthetic wig, similar in style and color to those used on studio dolls.  Charlotte would make a cute addition to a Sasha doll family! 

She comes with her little cocker spaniel puppy also!

She is $185 with shipping at a 1-2 pound rate.  I may be contacted here

(SOLD) Meet Mei Leng!  In 2017, I began a new job teaching students in China on line.  I have now taught over 3000 classes with VIPKID, a company that brings together North American teachers and kids in China! I have taught children as young as 3, and as old as 15.  I now teach about 50 classes per week!  I  have to say, it has been life changing for me.  These kids are so amazing, happy and bright!  As I have come to know my students, I have been fascinated to learn about their lives and their culture.  I have gotten to know their families as well, which is super special too!  Aside from raising my own kids, this is the most amazing job I've ever had!

I began thinking about Sasha Morgenthaler's original dolls.  Sasha  traveled extensively, observing the world's children.  She captured their essence in hundreds of studio dolls.  She often made children of specific nationalities and cultures in traditional clothing.  Sasha also made modern dolls.

Modern day China is quite a bit different than the China that Sasha portrayed in her doll art.   Technology has brought a western culture influence, and yet China still beautifully holds onto age old traditions of family and culture.  I wanted to sort of "re-imagine" Sasha's Asian children dolls by creating a modern Chinese child as one of my custom dolls.

Meet Mei Leng.  Mei Leng began as a Gregor in need of a makeover.  She now represents a modern, urban Chinese girl.  She wears a soft, straight wig that has been cut specifically for her.  She has a simple dress and handmade sandals on her feet.  Her blue floral shirt can be worn over her dress.  Mei Leng comes with her accessories that reflect the lifestyle of a modern Chinese student!  She has a backpack, laptop and carries her lunch with her.  I am amazed to find out that some Chinese students take English classes online during their lunch hour at school!   Almost all of my Chinese students are involved in extra activities such as dance, piano or sports.  Mei Leng carries with her a gym bag with her dance leotard, skirt and toe shoes in it for her after school activity.

Mei Leng comes in the outfit shown, with the accessories shown including her extra ballet outfit, gym bag, school bag and all accessories.

Mei Ling is a one of a kind that can never be exactly duplicated.  I have sought to stay true to Sasha's style, while also imagining how Sasha Morgenthaler would have portrayed the modern children in Asia's culture today.


Mei Leng is $325 and I may be contacted here.

(SOLD) Meet Chana!  I really  just wanted to make a fun "real kid" doll.  As the summer days unfold, kids are outside more.   Summer days unfold and kids enter into a world of their own.  At least my kids did when they were little.  They would go outside and play in the dirt, flood the sandbox with the hose and generally make a mess.  Laundry increased by tenfold and every night everyone went into the tub to scrub their blackened feet. 

Chana is a toyboy with shoulder length  auburn hair.  Like Sasha's studios dolls, her wig is a one of a kind. I have trimmed bangs into her soft synthetic mohair wig.  They are in a fringe like earlier Sasha dolls.  Her cotton shirt has been dyed slightly to look dirty.  She wears original Sasha jeans that were stained from age and cut.  She comes with her best friend, her Raggedy Andy doll who accompanies her on her adventures. 
She has blue watery style eyes and her lips have been color washed rather than painted solid.

Chana is a one of a kind that can never be exactly duplicated.  She is $295.  Paypal is available.   I may be reached here
