Garden of Delights - Custom Blythe


Garden of Delights
First Prize Winner - BlytheFest 2014 Australia









Garden of Delights - my very special custom Blythe who made her extravagant debut at Blythefest AU in Sydney, winning first prize in her category. She is an exquisite art-custom, her body and head fully covered in intricate hand painted floral vine motifs. She wears a large floral crown atop her spring green hair. She has been given "sleep eyes" and gaze adjustment, and has two of my crystal-resin glazed illustrated cameo pull-rings.

Front and Back face-plates feature a bouquet of beautifully painted garden flowers, roses, leaves and hydrangea blooms. Her entire body is encircled with vines and blooming roses, wrapping around her arms, torso and legs.
Her eyelids also feature floral continuation of her facial design, so that when she closes her eyes she can merge into her floral background... a wallflower, a perfectly camouflaged nature spirit. Eye-chips include 4 custom sets: one pair Takara pink, one pair Takara forest green, one pair hand-painted metallic silvery green, and one pair human-iris prints.

She has been meticulously sealed between each layer to protect her extensive painted designs. None the less, I would recommend she is handled minimally, and displayed in a clean dust-free environment, preferably enclosed within a glass dome or show cabinet to ensure her everlasting beauty.

Champagne Songbird


The songbird, prized for her enchanting and melodic voice is asked to perform again and again, taking listeners to far-away places, breaking hearts with her notes and weaving dreams with her words.





The latest couture creation from the House of Orchid's Designs has been hand-crafted to fit the exquisite new limited line of Resin Enchanted Dolls.

The Champagne Songbird design is a high-waisted skirt-corset with ruffles and decadent trims in varying shades of gold, ivory, and creams. Ivory lace is formed over a hand-painted stiff canvas structure, a matching necklace of beads circles her delicate neck.
A lace-up back ensures a skin-tight fit for the resin beauties, tiny beads decorating every aspect of this glorious corset.

Apple and Rose


Inspired by gorgeous vintage cuts and Sunday dresses, this conservative cotton dress is for a shy Enchanted Doll who likes strawberry scones and two sugars in her tea. 

The sweet printed cotton is from Liberty in London (a highly limited design print - there will only be two dresses made in this fabric, both slightly different.) The back is secured by tiny buttons and various shades of pink ribbon, the dress is accentuated with white lace at her hemline - which falls conservatively just above her knees.
