Celebrity Doll Update

Adding two new names to the celebrity doll guest list: Demi Lovato and Natalie Portman!

The Demi doll is from her turn in “Camp Rock.” I made a little dress for her from some Liberty of London fabric I had. I used a thrifted Liberty scarf as a background. I was inspired by the pattern on pattern portraits of the Malinese photographer Seydou Keïta.

The Natalie Portman poupée is a representative of her “Star Wats” character Padmé Amidala. That is why she in space white face. I might experiment with using nail polish remover to take off the pancake. Or maybe I’ll leave it as is because I am scared of turning her into a weird Barbie. Maybe I will try the technique out on a donor doll, like the Barbie that was originally wearing this Edith Prickly outfit.

I photographed the. Princess against the rich, beaded backdrop of my Jonathan Adler pillow.
