Doll
Artist Profile – Lia Zulalian
by Ricë Freeman Zachery
Lia Zulalian became entranced by dolls at a very early age. Her obsession
grew with her, encouraged by a nurturing upbringing. Today the artist’s
intricately detailed dolls are exquisitely adorned with tiny birds,
flowers, bells and teacups, all painstakingly hand crafted from fine
porcelain. The array of such finely detailed miniatures is nothing short
of breathtaking.

Ancient
Spirits: Michelle Marquette’s Sculptural Figures
Michelle Marquette has many special “relatives,” which she
created herself. They come from several unique clans that she created
to showcase a growing collection of antique ethnic fabric pieces, and
give expression to her own personal emotional reality. Michelle’s
“relatives” are marvelous figurative wall sculptures.

Art
Doll Challenge: Altered Bendi Dolls
We’re issuing another art-doll challenge! This time we’ve
chosen altered Bendi dolls as a starting point for your next adventure
in dollmaking. We encourage you to paint, decorate, stamp, bead, and
embellish a pre made doll to your heart’s content, fashioning a
figure (or several!) that reflects your personality. Multiple submissions
are welcome, but we must receive your submission(s) no later than December
13, 2004.

Responding
to the Challenge: Flower Children
In the premier issue of Art Doll Quarterly, we issued a challenge to
our readers to create handmade dolls with an original theme: Flower
Children. We asked you to fashion an art doll\ with gardens, posies,
plants or other natural themes in mind. The response has been remarkable:
We have received nearly 100 art dolls made with a garden theme, and
continue receiving them well past the deadline. In the summer issue,
we’ve selected a variety of our favorite flower children to showcase
for your enjoyment.

Michele
Schaefer-Parr’s Ancient Healer
“In my artwork,” says the author, “I’m influenced
by the simple beauty and rhythm of form and color found in nature. And
my imagination is stimulated by the customs and ceremonies of ancient
cultures.” Michele Schaefer-Parr takes us on a journey of discovery
as she shows how to safely use nature-made materials in your next doll.
Follow along as she describes the evolution of Ancient Healer, her 15½
mixed-media art doll interpretation of a spirit-guide healer of the
early Woodland People.
