“Reincarnation” crown on the White Peacock doll. I made and shot this piece a few months ago in grief and in celebration of the life, to get through a terrible and painful loss that I’ve been stuck in.

Read MoreHair styling for White Peacock.
I use only natural fibres such as Mohair, Angora Goat and Silk for my dolls’ wigs; Never synthetics, as I just don’t like the synthetic aesthetic and I don’t think it suits fine porcelain very well.

What does this porcelain doll and the Amethyst geode she nestles in have in common? They are both Earth’s minerals, born deep inside the earth millions of years ago! They are children of the earth, and her treasures!
It moves me to think of Enchanted Dolls as Earth’s children, while the ancient process of using heat to transform brittle clay into hard, translucent porcelain, makes me feel connected to our ancient origins.
Porcelain is combination of Feldspar rock and Kaolin clay, while the Amethyst quartz grows in igneous rock.
I think it’s a huge part of why I keep choosing to work with porcelain over other, more modern, epoxy based materials - there is an ancient, natural magic in it that goes back to the begining of time and the birth of our planet. It’s Earth magic!
