Dolls might be seen as toys, but in the right hands they can become enchanting art. Russian jeweler artist and designer Marina Bychkova, who lives in Canada, creates stunning one-of-a-kind ball-jointed porcelain dolls for adults.
Marina says that her calling for creating dolls became evident back when she was only 6. She couldn't stand how boring and mediocre the mass-produced dolls were, so Marine started making toys that suited her own ideas of beauty. Eventually, the training at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design influenced her to commit to the doll making as a career. According to the creator, she named the brand after Paul Gallico’s short story called “Enchanted Doll”. Fiction reflects in most of her works, as Marina recreates such well-known characters as Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood.
The dolls are meticulously made using high quality materials, such as porcelain, gold, silver, and even Swarovski crystals. They help to achieve uniqueness and sophisticated beauty. Depicting sensuality and delicacy, these dolls will enchant anyone who lays eyes on them.

Reminds me of Cinderella, when they tore apart her dress
ahh! such attention to detail...she could be a goddess or a Saint
I don't know why, but this makes me think of Gerda in the story 'The Ice Queen'!
That is the type of mask the doctors wore during the plague. I believe this must be a representation of her imminent death, and that of her unborn childs.
Most ball-jointed dolls are anatomically correct. You should see the men!

They all look like trapped fairies who are now paraded around for human enjoyment. Sad and kinda of disturbing. Like, they were told to go with this human to save their land and after the years of display and abuse it accuse to them it was trick and everything they loved is now destroyed and probably a parking lot.
I think they are beautiful.Even with their sad faces the detail of the sadness draws you in. I do not find them to be creepy at all. I notice a lot are dressed in Geisha garb that is a reason to be sad,its very demanding.Im very glad someone has the courage to make art like this. I adore them.
They even have the feet binding. It is something women did in China for beauty.
Makes me think of Cinderella for some reason! Maybe the mask, for the masked ball..
OMG! She's got Lotus Feet!!! That's amazing! Wow, talk about awesome detail!
Although I find them creepy as hell, they are all stunningly beautiful too. The skill is unbelievable. The outfits and accessories are so beautiful, and I like the fact the artist has included nipples (and genitalia? It's too small for me to see properly), unlike regular dolls.
They are supposed to look sad, that's the beauty of them. And how this artist chooses to express herself is not something to be ridiculed, because these dolls, although they may not be for everybody, are gorgeous.
People, they were meant to be sad to express a melancholic feeling, and that's probably why it says Realistic dolls for ADULTS.
They are all stunning! Their haunted eyes give them a fragility that adds depth to their beauty. Makes me want to discover their stories...
These are exquisite! I can't understand why anyone would call them "creepy." These are works of art, not just dolls.

I think they are beautifully made but with the swollen lips, tearfilled eyes and broken looking, fragile bodies many look like victims of childabuse to me. Incredibly craft and design, though.
People are so whiny and oversensitive these days...how do you guys survive in the real world?
It's a bit disappointing that there aren't any black doll versions, but hopefully we'll get to see those soon enough. 9/10 from me
She started making them long before Amanda Seyfried was a "star!"

I agree with the other comments, these dolls are beautiful, but they all look terribly sad... Not just the ones actually teary-eyed, but even the ones with faint smiles. Their eyes are filled with so much sorrow.
Awesome! I have sure that I could spend hours looking to them and contemplating the beauty in their expressions... It has such a mist of sadness but resignation... touches me deeply.
