Oh my... I'm still trying to catch my breath. For anyone who's ever been a doll lover, forget every doll you've ever owned. Marina Bychkova's aptly named Enchanted Dolls are the only dolls you'll ever want after you've seen them. I don't even know where to begin... they're stunningly hand-crafted in porcelain, each with their own unique, often mysterious expressions and intricate accessories to boot. They're also incredibly realistic, from their positions to their hair and features, exuding a delicateness but also a haunting creepiness that makes them all the more mesmerizing.
Her artwork has been featured all over in various magazines, and with each doll she tries to show us her interpretation of emotion and beauty that no other dolls have ever been able to evoke in the past. It's become a dream of mine to own one of her dolls, and though I probably never will, I definitely do not mind dreaming of such gorgeous things, isn't it? See more of her breath-taking work on her blog here.

Wow...I usually hate dolls. I get creeped out by them, by their vacancy. But these are well beyond dolls I would say. She making some amazing art. They all seem so haunted, like something was taken from them that they will never, never get back. Does she show in galleries?

Well, these are certainly amazing detail and gorgeous, but creepy too (just as you described). I'm loving all the bits on display that are suspiciously moulded on barbie dolls! Thanks for popping by my blog. Yours is so pretty. I'm officially stalking you now ;-)
These dolls are beautiful, and definitely haunting. This is a post I'll remember for ages!!!

Those lovely dolls i wish i could have.
I am loving my voodoo dolls but these dolls are different.
The prettiest dolls i've seen.
Thank you very much.
Haunting and beautiful! I love these dolls.
They are indeed creepy... very much so actually. But I could see the appeal... for someone who appreciated this.
Thees dolls are so beautiful ♥
Although I'd be so scared to break a doll made of porcelain, I suppose I'll just stick with my resin Unoa's!
