In recent years, sex dolls have become a worldwide collector's item due to their beautiful appearance, gorgeous costumes, realistic anthropomorphic shapes, and exquisite materials and techniques. The most extravagant and high-end of the love dolls require more than a thousand hours of manual labor and are known as Hermes sex dolls!
Enchanted Sex Dolls
These noble and exquisite porcelain dolls were created by a young and talented Russian-Canadian portrait artist, Marina Bychkova, who was born in Russia in 1982, immigrated to Canada with her family at the age of 14 and graduated from Emily Carr College of Art and Design in 2006 with a degree in Fine Arts, specializing in jewelry design. The brand was founded on the short story "Enchanted Doll" by Paul Gallico, a story that resonated with Marina and made her aspire to create such a haunting doll.
In order to make the most exquisite dolls, she is in the doll's clothes and accessories, hair and makeup, background story and other aspects of the requirements of world-class standards, for this she continued to study, improve skills, broaden the field of knowledge, looking for creative inspiration, and eventually she became a toy designer, welder, hair designer, tattoo artist, costume designer, storyteller, jewelry designer, potter, makeup artist She has become an artist who combines toy designer, welder, hair stylist, tattoo artist, costume designer, storyteller, jewelry designer, potter, make-up artist and stylist. Because of this artisanal spirit, her dolls are vivid and chic, never limited to one field, each unique, with its own story, appearance and personality, which makes the world amazed.
For the dolls she creates, beauty, functionality and durability are the key elements that Marina always keeps in mind, she doesn't like pieces that break easily and always wants to make beautiful and timeless works of art. Porcelain was chosen as the main material for the dolls because of its unusual durability. The porcelain is fine and delicate, does not absorb water or dust, is highly resistant to UV rays, and does not fade easily. And she used to portray and pastel pottery color more equivalent to the doll's porcelain body covered with a layer of tight permanent protective coating. At the same time, the smoothness of porcelain, porcelain white, porcelain fragile, the beauty of the doll is closer to the beauty of women in real life. Although the process is very tedious and boring, but Marina has always adhered to this concept, has not been the slightest slack.
She said: "I was attracted and convinced by the durability of porcelain is from a beautiful picture that haunts me, a photo of a porcelain doll on the wreck of the Titanic, which has been lying quietly in the cold depths of the North Atlantic since 1912, but, from that photo, she is still intact, and I can even feel its toughness I can even feel its toughness and beauty stretching unstoppably through the sea, from the dark and cold depths to the surface. I think that even when the Titanic liner's huge metal body was eventually corroded by seawater, it may still be unharmed at the bottom of the sea, this extraordinary durability is really convincing, and this is exactly what I hope to see in my dolls, expect them to last forever and ever.
Not To Miss Every Detail
To make the dolls more agile, the process adopted is the traditional spherical joints of the human figure. In order to prevent the ceramic joints from being worn and damaged when bending, the joints are padded with gray cashmere cloth, which allows the doll to perform difficult and precise movements, imitating any human form, each shape is a mood, and the doll has a richer life as a result. To achieve the realistic effect, Marina's carving of the dolls is even accurate to every nail and every grain.
All the dolls have their own stories, which are either taken from fairy tales or folk tales, and reshaped by Marina's interpretation into their unique birth background, which also gives the dolls themselves a human color. Naming the dolls, setting their personalities and chronological situations is not a publicity stunt, it has a decisive role in the dolls' external features and costume styles.
"Eyes are the window to the soul", this saying also applies to sex dolls, the eyes are the soul of the doll, each doll's expression eyes are different, in order to make it more realistic, Marina hand-painted their eyes and makeup, rather than replacing them with glass beads, so that the doll's eyes are more evocative personality, or mysterious Charming, or dark and depressed, or simple and innocent, or calm and elegant, or crying, as if telling people their stories and moods.
Russian Series Of Sex Dolls
The gorgeous costumes full of Russian style is also a highlight of the doll, decorated with jewelry headdress, clothing, shoes eye-catching, materials are real gold and sterling silver, gorgeous stones, precious textiles, all of which are designed and handmade by Marina, the production process is complicated, and strive to achieve perfection in all details, requiring great patience, to make silver jewelry, for example, the production of a silver jewelry needs For example, to make a piece of silver jewelry, it needs to go through the process of casting, ultrasonic cleaning, re-polishing, acid dipping twice, roller polishing, and assembly. The dolls are unique, drawing on the characteristics of women's clothing from different countries and nationalities, with an exotic and strong sense of fashion and design, for which they have been featured in major fashion magazines and endorsed by major luxury brands.
Tattooing Dolls
Marina's other skill is to tattoo dolls, she personally designed a variety of beautiful patterns, the doll body painted on the simple structure of the shape, the direct use of sharp tattoo needles to complete the shape and details of the piercing, and then the pattern of color and the porcelain body into the kiln firing. After several iterations of painting and firing, the design is finally formed on the body of the porcelain doll. The multi-layered paint fuses with the porcelain body under high quenching temperatures, resulting in a beautiful, durable glass-like "tattoo" that is as elegant and distinctive as celadon.
Chinese Style Sex Doll
It is worth mentioning that Marina herself has a strong interest in traditional Chinese culture and designed three sets of dolls related to Chinese culture. They are: the young girl Cixi, three inch lotus feet and echo. Unlike the unsmiling politician Empress Dowager Cixi in the eyes of the Chinese people, she designed Cixi as a young girl in her prime, "elegant, helpless, meek, even afraid to look up. Even if she does not dare to look up, in her downcast eyebrows shines infinite hope and strong aggressiveness." The Three Inch Lotus Feet series provides a vivid portrayal of the foot-binding women in feudal China, restoring the dignified and submissive posture and deformed small feet of women in old China. The lotus feet, embroidered shoes and embroidered clothes are made with great care and delicacy.
Giving More Realistic Meaning
In addition, Marina also expresses her concern and thinking about the real world through the dolls and cares about the rights and interests of various groups of people, giving the dolls a deeper meaning. Because she was worried about the survival of albinos in Africa, she created the Albino Snowflake series to call for the world's care; and to encourage breast cancer patients to live strongly, she created Surviving with no hair and detachable breasts; after reading a book called "About Women's Giving: State, Power and Fetal Power Politics", Marina created State Property, a series of tattooed dolls, is a way to get the public to think about the relationship between women's autonomous power to conceive and the power politics of the state; and the "Beauty and the Beast"-themed dolls are a call to action for Stockholm Syndrome.
