Artist Reply: Thank you, Denise, for your kind words. First, I pour the doll using my mold in porcelain. Then, it gets fired at very high temperatures in my kiln. After that I start china painting. It takes at least five more firings. At last, I dress the doll. Yes, I hand sew all the clothing using fine silks and laces. I used tiny .3 mm micro beads for her head piece, and glued bead one by one. Stove was made from glass tiles.
