More Photos of Taylee Joyce

Taylee is settling in and getting to know her sisters. She decided on a middle name for herself--Joyce after the talented artist who painted her. So her full name is: Taylee Joyce. 

I had a little photo shoot with her. Joyce Mathews did an amazing job with this little gal. Joyce paints the most expressive, beautiful eyes. Here are a few photos:

Here is a photo comparing Taylee with her #2 sculpt sisters. I love comparing dolls as each artist has their own painting style, and the dolls are completely unique. In this photo the girls are: Lauryn (painting by Dianna Effner), Taylee (painted by Joyce Mathews), and Jade (painted by Lana Dobbs).

Taylee is a 13" Little Darling sculpted by Dianna Effner and painted by Joyce Mathews.

First Look at Taylee

I am elated to get this beautiful doll from Joyce Mathews. I had asked Joyce to paint me a girl that looked like a doll she had auctioned off on eBay. She had a name, but I always call her Easter Girl, as she sold on eBay right before Easter. Here is what she looked like:

Taylee is who she painted for me. I just love her! I couldn't wait for a formal photo shoot, so I took this photo with my phone camera. Joyce shaded the little indentation right below her mouth. It gives her such personality. Her skin wash is very warm. She looks more sun kissed than most of my other girls. And her eyes...wow! Joyce's talents are amazing!

Brooke Marie Loves Minnie

My family and I love visiting Disney Land. My daughters are obsessed with Elsa and Ariel. So I wanted to have an outfit representing Disney for my Little Darlings. Trish Breisch made a wonderful Minnie outfit. I love all of the matching buttons. They are even polkadot to match Minnie's dress. 

 Brooke is an Dianna Effner 13" sculpt #1 Little Darling hand painted by Joyce Mathews.

Welcome Bronte Claire

I'm so thrilled to have my last girl from Lana. This is Bronte. She is a #1 Dianna Effner 13" Little Darling painted by Lana Dobbs. I love the way Lana has painted her golden brown eyes. She looks pretty in an heirloom look or a modern look.

I have a serious brown-eyed blonde doll obsession. So here is Bronte with Alyssia, who was painted by Joyce Mathews. Both girls are sculpt #1 with brown eyes and blonde hair. Yet I think they look very unique. They artists beautiful painting style is apparent. I'm amazed at how different the same sculpt can look.

All of the clothes in this post were made by the talented Trish Breisch. 

Thanks for looking!

Spring Photos with the Pansies

The weather is finally warm enough to take some photos outside with the happy yellow pansies. Here are some photos of my girls. Jade is missing, because her photo came out blurry. I will have to do another shoot with her.

Brooke Marie was painted by Joyce Mathews. She is wearing an outfit by Maggie and Kate Create.

Brynn Elise was painted by Dianna Effner herself. She is also wearing an outfit by Maggie and Kate Create.

 Lauryn Elizabeth was painted by Dianna Effner, and she is wearing an outfit by Shara. She is the newest girl to my little family. She arrived two days before Christmas.

Brynn and Lauryn together as both were painted by Dianna. They show the differences between the #1 and #2 sculpts.

Jade who was painted by Lana Dobbs and Lauryn who was painted by Dianna Effner shown together. They are both the same sculpt, but I think they look very different due to the talented artists interpretation.

Finally all of my #2 sculpts show even more of a difference in the each artist's beautiful vision for the doll. The doll on the right is Shelby, who was painted by Nelly Valentino. Aren't the differences amazing between these pretty girls?

Here is Shelby Faith alone. She was painted by Nelly Valentino and is wearing an overall outfit made by Trish.

 My kids think that Tessa Jane looks like Rapunzel in this wig. She was painted by Lana Dobbs.

Alyssia Kaye was painted by Joyce Mathews and is wearing an outfit designed and made by Trish.

Gracelyn June was painted by Geri Uribe and is wearing an outfit by Darla's Delights. I think she looks like the youngest of my girls.

Tessa and Gracelyn together.

Tessa, Gracelyn, and Alyssia together. Again, this photo shows how unique each artist makes these pretty girls. They are all the same sculpt #1. But each were painted by a different artist.

Merry Christmas from Tessa

Gracelyn June at Summer's End

Summer is coming to an end. Gracelyn wanted a few photos taken before the flowers go away. Gracelyn loves her puppy which was a gift from Trish. She is wearing a dress made by Darla's Delights.
