Do you know Blythe?

  Blythe is a doll that may look familiar to some.  

 

 This doe-eyed lovely was originally made for just one year by Kenner in the US in 1972.  How do I know this....

I HAD BLYTHE WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL AND I LOVED HER THEN!!!!

But in the mid to late 1990s, a well-known fashion photographer, Gina Garan, began to take one of these dolls with her everywhere and photograph her.  Blythe was the subject of many photographic studies. This was of course long-before social media, and when she released a book of her work showing Blythe in all these fun setting, a cult phenomenon was born!    

By 2001 the Japanese company of Takara resuscitated production of Blythe and by 2006 another book on Blythe – redressed and re-fitted in inspiring fashions by quite famous designers came out.

 

The real magic began to happen for two reasons: #1 artists around the world started to customize Blythe – re-sculpting the face, changing wigs, painting eye-chips and making miniature couture fashions for this wonderful little model AND #2 the emergence of visual social media platforms.  So, everything went crazy and this little cult classic of a doll became and indie art phenomenon with BlytheCons and established and fledgling artists turning their attention to Blythe.  

 

Now artists are putting their own twist on Blythe and customizing dolls...changing the face makeup, the hair, carving and re-carving the nose, chin, philtrum and eye sockets...and more! 

 And what's so wonderful is that the new Blythe world has spawned many ancillary hobbies and creatives to create for Blythe...just like our own Earth Angels Letty Worley making Blythe party pets -- because every doll needs a best friend!!!

 

 

If you are interested in a custom Blythe...please email me at jen@EarthAngelsStudios.com and I will send you full details....

We are working with renown artist to accept commissions and will be making this service available as her time allows...

...and thanks to Mademoiselle Cupcake -- aka Rosanna De Bellis my soul sister for bringing the festive world of Blythe to Earth Angels...

a peek at BlytheCon UK....

I made a quick but memorable, 3-day trip to Edinburgh earlier this month...

With the studio of Scottish jewelry designer, Lynsey Walters for my column in "Where Women Create" on the agenda (and more on that soon) I was also able to attend BlytheCon UK...

...all I can say is...WOW!

Capturing such a dynamic event was a challenge...and while I have oodles of images to edit and share, the format and personalities were all new to me...but a peek at an event like this one must be shared in a timely fashion.

So I am thrilled to share a collection of images prepared by writer, editor and photographer -- and Blythe devotee -- Rosanna De Bellis.

Many thanks Rosanna for the opportunity to share your signature-style collages...I appreciate you being a guest blogger/photographer and allowing me to give a peek into this wonderful world that you've invited me into with open arms and much beautiful enthusiasm...

 I was truly overwhelmed...

 There was a vast array of talent and styles showcased by the designers and artists who shared their art at the event...

Incredible...and yes, I could not help myself, I had to get some new outfits for my own Blythe doll...

 Some folks' have a dedication that goes far beyond the miniature fashions and customized art dolls!

I really enjoyed everyone I met...from the sales floor to the Voo Doo Rooms after party - there was talent and style and many friendships to be found...

Thanks to all for the warm welcome into this artful community.

 

You can find Rosanna on Instagram @rosannadebellis 

and more things Blythe on her account

More on the taking of this photo soon!

exciting news...and WELCOME SASHA

I wanted to share some lovely news...

we have a someone new among the ranks of the Earth Angels Featured Artists

WELCOME SASHA POKRASS

 

Each designer toy creation is a sweet surprise laden with detail... 

 

When I asked Sasha to share a little about herself with readers, here's what she said...

 I started to make toys when I was 8 and was rather successful. I always had my own pocket money, I traveled a lot and was featured in TV programs about handmade stuff. 

When a teenager I had other interests and forgot about toy making.
"Relapse" happened to me 9 years ago when I wanted to make a handmade gift for my friend. I made a teddy bear and then I couldn't  stop!!! I worked in the office that time so I had to give up job to make toymaking my main occupation. 

I love to experiment with materials, colors, size, shapes, characters...

I especially love her pieces featuring the "Napoleon Hats"!

you can peek at her latest offerings here

...and I am definitely partial to her petite creations...there's a sure charm in them...

Here are some other faves...

Thanks to Sasha for sharing her talent...I am loving all that she has made for us to share on the site...and we are hoping for more SOON!!

I am thrilled and honored to welcome her!

...and stay tuned for more designs from this talented young, Russian artist
