Thursday

Boneka

Because of the very long waiting list for Dianna Effner's Little Darlings, someone suggested I purchase a Boneka doll. The original dolls were also sculpted by Dianna, and the replicas are available from the Boneka website. They are also a vinyl doll and the painting of them is modelled after Dianna's, yet they are not quite as beautiful as the ones shown below, which are painted by Joyce Mathews.

Tuesday's Child ~ was the first introduced to the doll world. She is 25 cm / 10" tall and has a head circumference of 16 cm / 6.29" without the wig.

Monday's Child ~ is 26.5 cm / 10.5" tall and has a head circumference of 6.7" with the wig.

Thursday's Child ~ is 26.5 cm / 10.5" tall and has a head circumference of 6.5" without wig.

These dolls wear Boneka doll fashion size 24 cm, hat size 18 cm and shoe size 38 mm.
As much as I wouldn't mind one, I think the stock dolls would either need a repaint done to give them that wonderful personality that the custom artists endow or wait until one of Joyce's became available for purchase.

I won't be around to read your blogs this weekend, my daughter and I are having a girls weekend away, to see this Exhibition at the Bendigo Art Center. Unfortunately there will be no photos of the Exhibition this time, the BAC won't allow cameras. :(


Hope you all have a great one! See you next week.

    Hello! Being a Monday child myself - born on a sunny day in October, long time ago, I do like the idea with dolls with such specific days. Monday looks so cute and that lovely blue color makes me want one. :D beautiful dolls! Hugs!

      Hi Niina,
      You are amazing, I have no idea what day I was born, must look that up sometime. Yes, she is a lovely doll, they all have beautiful faces and if you have any luck finding one you will have to post photos.

    The dolls look quite lovely. I like the face sculpts. I find them quite detailed. It would be neat to see them with a different face up. But even as they are, I am quite taken with Thursday's Child. She has such a sweet angelic look about her.

    How was the outing with your daughter?

      Hi Alasse,
      These dolls have been artist painted but the stock dolls are not quite as nice, which is why if I were to buy one, I would have to have her repainted. However, you are right about the face sculpts themselves, they are beautiful.

      Had a wonderful time, as you will see in the next post. :)
      Hugs,
