While researching the previous post on doll makeup, I stumbled upon these gorgeous art dolls made by artists. There are quite a lot of them but most are kinda cutesy and boring in a predictable, fairy tale kinda' way. However, the ones with actual skill, ability and vision were breathtaking! These works have a feel, a personality, a gesture and imagination- some pretty, some not- but all are superb. Many of the artists I found thru the fabulous Eclectix site, which had an exhibit titled All Dolled Up, (borrowed the name for this post!) Raided quite a few of those names, they have great taste! I have credited the artists, so if something strikes your fancy, give 'em a Google. Feast your eyes...

Levi van Veluw´s photo series are self-portraits, drawn and photographed by himself: a one-man-process. His works constitute elemental transfers; modifying the face as object; combining it with other stylistic elements to create a third visual object of great visual impact. The work you see therefore is not a portrait, but an information-rich image of colour, form, texture, and content. The image contains the history of a short creative process, with the artist shifting between the entities of subject and object. - via Laughing Squid
