Dylan The Porcelain Baby Doll I Gave Reborn Doll Jointed Body.

Dylan was a large porcelain baby doll I got from my neighbour. originally the doll was a girl but I decided to make it a he and name him Dylan after folk rock musician Bob Dylan. I wasn't happy with the body he had, as porcelain doll bodies are an odd shape and designed to wear loose clothing. I wanted him to have a more realistic shape and to be more poseable, so I got him a nicer jointed body. He looks much better now and can wear a wider variety of clothes. Now he just needs some new eyelashes and a better wig and he'll look even better.

New Silver Cross lincoln/Country Classic Dolls Pram.

I got a new silver Cross Dolls Pram, I've updated the post with better pictures and have found out it is from the 90's. The pattern was known as Lincoln or country classic. I am trying find the baby sized version, but it is proving difficult to find it at a reasonable price and with people who will ship it on eBay.

Still trying to identify the plastic doll at the front in the picture of dolls being displayed in the pram, right at the bottom. I shall do a more detailed post about her in the future. She is very articulated and has no markings, if you recognise the doll please comment.

New Additions To My Collection, Seymour Mann Vinyl Blonde Angel Doll by Doris Lee, And Wicker Dolls Pram.

I got her quite by chance from a local selling site for the wicker pram she came with, to display my porcelain dolls. She was listed as porcelain though she is actually vinyl.
It tuns out she seems to actually be quite rare as the company makes porcelain dolls normally and these vinyl dolls by them were only made for a short time. 
She came with her original dress which is very pretty, but not the trousers so you can see the soft bodied part of her legs. I have dressed her in this pink newborn baby grow for now. She is in the Baby Born Car seat in the photo she fits it well. She has jointed legs and arms and is meant to be displayed sitting and is 12" high when sitting.
She is very cute looking with good eyes and eye lashes, but her body is very stiff, and the cable ties used to put her head and limbs on are too wide and have sharp edges. I'm going to replace them with thinner ones, quite worrying since this doll was meant for children.

And here is the wicker Dolls pram displaying my two Alberon dolls Molly And Sally. 

I'll be taking better photo's of them all and making videos over the next few days, so stay tuned.
  

My Etsy Shop

I've started making horror dolls out of old unwanted dolls, I recently goy huge joblot of dolls so I shall be very 
busy. some of the dolls I alter I sell from Etsy Shop Dark Fruit Enterprises there are currently 3 available. I've also started a blog for the shop Dark Fruit Dolls, be sure to check it out and follow my progress.

New photos of some old dolls that have been packed away.

I've had this doll since I was a child, I bought her at a school fete. after doing some research I found she dates from the 40's or 50's. 
Her body is stuffed with sawdust and her face is celluloid.
 I think she may be Polish as I have seen other pictures of very similar faced dolls that are. However these dolls have a stamp on them somewhere saying Polish, and this doll has none.

This doll was given to me years ago and I forgot I had her, her dress was very dirty so I gave it a wash and she looks really nice now. No markings on her to suggest who she was made by, but her dress style looks like she's probably from the 80's I'd guess.

Three Porcelain dolls, Two By Alberon

These three porcelain dolls would now be considered vintage as they date from the 80's, I remember them being displaced in a glass cabinet at our house as a child. The Alberon ones still have their boxes and stands.
