Wm. R. Robertson Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 For those lucky enough to attend the Chicago show Maria had a real treat for everyone, She is doing more dolls from the Art Deco period. She first started doing these as a commission for the Toy and Miniature Museum in KC for Mulvany & Rogers Art Deco Jewelry Shop……. anyway these are her latest…… you can almost smell the cigarette smoke and hear the music in the background. For more about Maria….. http://www.carabosse-dolls.com 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElgaKoster Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Thank you for posting this Bill, her dolls are so life like. As a seamstress though, what strikes me the most are the clothes, they are so realistic, the men's clothes are amazing, I used to make my husband trousers and shirts when we were just married, using patterns from those Burda magazines we talked about the other day, Maria captures the detail so well. And the shoes...well, they just leave me speechless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josje Veenenbos Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I agree Elga. Her dolls are fantastic and her costuming is just outstanding! I was wondering if the shoes are perhaps part of the sculpt? Thanks for the photos Bill. I'm loving the big size of them here on the forum, it allows you to see much better detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Ronan Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 They are just beautiful. The clothes are perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElgaKoster Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Josje, the photos on her website open up nice and big too, most of the shoes looks like they are made out of leather and/or ribbons. The men brown and white pair men's pair even have shoelaces, her skill is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathiM Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I have taken a class with Maria and found she is quite generous with her talent. To me, she is the best in the business. Her eye for detail and skill is extraordinary. Kathi M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leslie Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Her ballerinas are also outstanding! https://www.facebook.com/KathleenSavageBrowningMiniatures/photos/a.444584925590388.98615.413387185376829/823787831003427/?type=1&theater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What fabric she uses for her lining of costumes or how she makes her shoes? Regards Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
