My dressed dolls are reproductions of the 19th century antique dolls from Eastern Europe - the lands of present day Bulgaria, parts of Greece, Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey. They are dressed in art replicas of the then traditional celebration costumes. The doll’s jewelry and adornments also are an art adaptation and art replicas of the 19th century ones. The fabric of my dolls’ costumes is a 19th century authentic fabric from which the costumes had been made. It is more than a century old fabric! Each of my dolls is one-of-a-kind doll, a unique doll, whose body is sculpted by me and dressed in an authentic costume. I craft the costumes by hand in much the same way the real traditional costumes and the antique dolls’ costumes had been crafted during the 19th  century. I am happy that my passion for antique dolls and antique costumes is shared by many. My dolls are enjoyed by children and ordinary people and appreciated by doll collectors, doll museums, historians, ethnographers and fashion designers. Many of them have found their new homes in doll collections around the world.No matter how my dolls would be called – antique dolls, collector’s dolls, art dolls, dressed dolls or ethnic dolls, they are a celebration of our common and eternal human desire for a better world as if seen through the eyes of a child.
