Important announcement-Doll on ebay!

new-tattoo-11Hello, Enchanted Doll fans. Lolita outfit was supposed to go on ebay auction today, but there's been a change of plans.I will be putting a new, nude doll up for an auction instead! The outfit will go to auction right after the doll. The reason I'm postponing the auction of the outfit is so that I could try it on this new doll and photograph her wearing it for a fresh look. I am also making 3 removable wigs to go with this doll. One long, for natural look. One short and stylish, and one, well, that one is a surprise. You will have to wait a few days to find out. This doll has a decorative, one of a kind thigh tattoo that was hand painted, as opposed to the usual engraving.Auction will begin on Sunday, December 27th and end on Sunday, January 3rd. The third day of the New Year 2010.This is a very important time for me, the time when I contemplate and catalog all my failures, accomplishments and ambitions. I sit down and write all my goals for the upcoming year and make a plan for accomplishing them. This is the time I firmly decide that this new year, will be better than the last and that I will do everything I can to make it better and happier than all the years before it. Every year I promise myself to make dolls ever more beautiful, so that my life can be filled with beauty and joy. Because beauty is ultimately what will save the world.In Russia we have a superstition about New Year. We believe that the way we spend the first days and hours of the New Year, will determine our quality and enjoyment of our life for the rest of the year and foretell how the remaining 11 months are spent. That's why it's always important for one to enjoy those first days and spend them doing something meaningful and important to you. Those first days is when you commit to being happy.And so, in accordance with this tradition I'm making this doll as a good luck charm to celebrate the beginning of the New Year at the end of the First Decade of the New Millennium. She is a symbol of all the beautiful things of the past, dreams of the present and promise of the future. She will be the last doll sold of the Old Year and the first one of the New Year.Pictures coming soon.Meanwhile stay tuned for another sketch for Cosmos Exploratum and my final decisions about which costume to give her.
