One of a kind "Euro Whimsical" Art Dolls

Each of my fairy-tale-like, one of a kind (OOAK) art dolls are individually hand sculpted with a variety of polymer clays and paper clay. Using a combination of oils, watercolor pencils and acrylic paints, the faces are subtly painted and then fixed with an acrylic spray. Underneath it all is a wire and batting armature.

The costumes are fashioned with fine and vintage fabrics, beads, and unusual found objects. Some of the dolls stand without a support structure, some are built into a decorative base, many times incorporating antique findings, and others sit or can be hung on a wall.

Most recently I have begun an adventure into making dolls that move....art doll automatons! These whimsical dolls have a hand crank that allows them to move their head, hands and feet. You simply have to check them out!

To order a doll, prices range from $75 and up, you may either email me at dolls@wendyzupanbailey.com or give me a call at 509-536-7298. Commission work welcome.

You will find by following the magic, my collection of jesters, ethnic dolls, whimsical animals, and many other fanciful characters. Enjoy your excursion!
