Judith Markich designs

Then Judith Dorsman, Judith Markich, was a costume designer during a resurgence of the Australian Film Industry and designed for many Australian films including Picnic at Hanging Rock.  She started her training in a dress design course. Her desire to do more than fashion design led her quickly to the film industry.  This became her career in life.

Judith discovered the 16" fashion doll several years ago. There was even a doll that looked like Miranda from Picnic at Hanging Rock.  She participated in Project Dollway and her blog lets you get an insiders view of the process.  Pop on over to Judith's blog to learn more and see many fun pictures.

If you would like to see even more photos of Judith's doll designs, spend some time in her airess20 thirty albums.  Each is dedicated to a particular competition entry.

It is fun to see the silhouettes and the sketches.

Paradise is a DOLL

Are you going swimming this weekend?  Well, before you take the plunge jump to the right and answer my poll (not pool) question!!  Have a safe and happy Labor Day holiday.  You can really never have too many holidays.

Wow! I have missed this blog!!

This post title has a link to the Fashionnation1on1 blog on Wordpress. That blog has been taking most of my "blogtime" and I have not had time to play here. I look forward to playing here on Dolls In Paradise this weekend. Monday is a holiday!!!!!

Ellowyne is holding a Naripon, Pansy - who goes by the name Miss Lola Jeanne Stinkerbean in the dollymall world. Miss Stinkerbean usually tries to wear a crown, or at least a tiara... but today, she is "nekid" as a blue jay. Isn't she cute.

Look at this cute website where MLJS wants me to shop for her shoes and boots!

Mei Li honors me by wearing my handpainted silks.

Mei Li is by Robert Tonner as a part of the Tyler Wentworth line. Mei Li has been retired for a few years and she still remains very popular.

Mei Li, who is 16" tall, is "wearing" a human scale dress that I handpainted. I so wanted to dress my dolls in my handpainted silks, so Mei Li kindly allowed me to drap her in my silks.

Jan McLean dolls...there is a time to act.

I am so happy that I have Jan McLean dolls in my collection. I do not have this beauty, Nikita, but I have 10 or 11 of Jan's other gorgeous dolls.

Sometimes it does not pay to "put off until tomorrow". Jan is currently not producing these dolls and I know from having them on my website www.dollymall.com that customers are still clamoring for Jan's dolls.

Maybe one day Jan will honor us again.

In the meantime, enjoy Nikita.

Some kids have all the fun... click this title to go to Riley Hugs and Kishes doll board.

Look at the time, how can I stay up all night playing dolls and blogging? Well, Riley must have her due. Riley is by Helen Kish. Really Riley is my magazine tribute to this little sweetie. Click for a larger version of the mags.

I love a good magazine.

Have a look at these magazine covers. Gene Amour is my tribute to the doll that opened my eyes and awakened me to the reality of doll collecting as the best hobby for me.

Remember to click for the fantastic larger versions.
