Boy, what a year we had last year!! We shifted house, and were busy as bees trying to get settled. Still no Studio set up, but we are working on it. We have semi-retired, but hope to present a new Edition from time to time. When we do, the Edition will be very small, maybe only 5-10 in the Edition. So, if you wish to be notified when we produce something new, please email or write to us. Don't miss out! THERE A COUPLE OF NEW PHOTOS ON THE "WHAT'S NEW" PAGE. ************************************* BELOW.......OUR 2006 CREATIONS Pauline & Bob are proud to show the five "children" they created for 2006. Last year we only offered an edition of 15 of each, and all Editions are now sold out Click on the image below to enlarge them, or click on their names to get more detail.
Pauline began to sculpt and create her "children" in the mid 80's and has not only become recognized for her talent in her native Australia, but has made inroads into international markets. Over the past nine years, trips to the United States have seen Pauline awarded trophies at the International Doll Expo (IDEX) on almost every occasion. In 1998 Pauline won the IDEX "Best One of a Kind" award for her "Mary Lou". 1999 saw the "Best Porcelain Doll over $1300" award going to Pauline's "Margot". In 2000 and 2002 Pauline was awarded "DOTY" (Doll Of The Year) award nominations for "Ayla" and "Tina". Again, 2004 saw a DOTY Nomination awarded to Pauline for her "Gracie". Last year, we were lucky enough to have yet another Nomination for Pauline's "Alice". "Alice" was also awarded "Best in Section" at the Melbourne Doll Show, April 2005, in Melbourne, Victoria. Last year we were
thrilled to be awarded another DOTY Nomination for "Sienna"
"Sienna" was also judged "Best in Section" at the Hahndorf Doll Show in South Australia. Pauline works, with her partner Bob, from their Studio home in the beautiful coastal village of Inverloch on the south-east coast of Victoria, Australia. Inspiration for new work is gained from photographs, from children seen in their travels, or occasionally, the visions are simply in the mind. Over the years Pauline has gained a reputation for her work portraying Australian Aboriginal and African American children, and these have become a trademark of Pauline's work. Pauline recently commented..."The lips, eyes and noses allow for definition, and are such an important aesthetic part of the final creation. They are such beautiful Children".
