I repainted one Kish Piper, Bitty Bethany and Seasons (a commission). To purchase them in my online shop, click links here:

To see their photos on SkyDrive, click the SkyDrive link. SkyDrive photos are clear, high-quality. You will, however, need to wait a few moments on each photo, since the self-focus takes a bit of time. Each photo will become crystal clear with a bit of patience. SkyDrive LINK is the little box just below here.

The 2008 to 2011 Chrysalis Collection of 14" Vinyl Dolls by Helen Kish
I usually paint them only on commission.
Kish has introduced the following bjd dolls in her Chrysalis line: Grace, Lark, Piper, Phoenix (boy), Raven, Shea, Song (Asian) and Wren.
Each doll has thirteen joints (neck, shoulders, knees, wrists, hips at leg, knees and ankles).
Each doll can stand and balance on her own without a doll stand.

The Seasons by Helen Kish
The Seasons Collection of 16-inch (40 cm) vinyl dolls by Helen Kish is below, produced in Spain in 2003.
To me, the Seasons sculpt seems endearing, compassionate and caring. Seasons has a gentle, kind face with such large eyes, ones that paint can make luminous.
Each Seasons doll (except Jasmine & Ekatrina) wears a custom dress by dress designer Hankie Couture.
I hope you visit Marsha's fun website to see her fabric artistry.
Marsha has a NEW BOOK of her designs, published in 2009!

Kind Compliments that have encouraged me more than I can say . . .
Hi Nancy Lee. I just love gazing at your beautiful dolls; they are mesmerizing, and like real little people. I check on your website regularly. ~ Beth 2009
Oh Nancy, she looks so real. She (Kish Lark) is EXQUISITE! Her expression is breathtaking. She could be a real person, like someone next door, or someone you pass walking in the park. Everything is so tiny and PERFECT! ~ California 2008
This doll is so pretty! I cannot take my eyes off of her. The details on her eyes amaze me! ~ California 2008
I happened to find two of your Kish repaints on ebay today. Your work on these dolls is wonderful! Do you accept commissions? (YES) ~ Kentucky 2008
Your work is stunning, congratulations! Do you ship to France and would you accept a layaway plan? (YES)
About Kish Raven Cheeky and Tonner Alice in Wonderland:
My dear Nancy, Both dolls are stunning! Raven is a beauty; she looks like a young girl who has received a very good education. She is so clever with a quiet character, how lovely! Alice seems to me a like a girl from Tcheky, which is the country of my mother so you can imagine how I appreciate her. ~ autumn 2008 commissions, France
She looks like a child in a painting. A truly magical repaint! It is nothing short of miraculous how you have turned her into such an enchanting little girl, a work of art. ~ England 2008
Your new doll is so adorable. These (Seasons by Kish) dolls are intrinsically very special but it takes your beautiful repainting to reveal their real quality. You have actually revealed how wonderful these dolls can be. It is irresistible. ~ England 2008
Your work (doll on eBay) is WONDERFUL! That doll is gorgeous! ~ New England (USA) 2008
Wow - I really love your painting! The Jutta Kissling vinyl doll (commissioned repaint) is so different from the factory paint and beautifully painted. The painting on the Bethany doll is also very beautiful - new dolls! - Texas 2008
I believe that dolls are art forms that bring happiness to people of all ages, and have done so since long-ago times. - Nancy Lee Moran
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9 of the New International Version of the Holy Bible
|
Nancy Lee Moran's POLICY TO SHOW RESPECT FOR HELEN KISH & other doll creators is as follows:
The dolls I use were factory painted. I would never repaint a doll that the artist (Helen Kish) had painted herself, such as some of those in the Kish Signature Line. I would not paint one in a limited edition of fewer than 300 (preferably 500 or more). I consult the beautiful book I own:
Helen Kish: The Artist and Her Dolls by Louise Fecher (hardcover published in 2006). I am NOT affiliated with any doll company, creator or manufacturer.
