Heloise's Biography

 

DON'T MISS OUR  EXCLUSIVE! Her name is Louise and she is a limited edition sculpt of just 12 world wide exclusive to us the Dollery. Look below at Heloise holding our beautiful exclusive at our last show.

New for 2011:  Just in for June  - Heloise debuts her beautiful new "Helene" done in an edition of just 10 of the sculpt worldwide with each done in a ooak costuming. We are really thrilled to see Heloise continue doing such small editions and in addition doing one of a kind costuming now! Remember, she used to do editions of 60 worldwide that sold out for similar pricing. Now, she simply wants to do less dolls in ooak costuming and it is a great opportunity for either the seasoned Heloise collector or others new to her work to get a truly special doll from this Master of her profession.

Last year she introduced "Ludivine" and she is just beautiful. She is limited to just 10 worldwide and this particular version will be done only twice. Others may be one of a kind or small editions within the 10 pieces of the sculpt total.

We were honored to have Heloise in personal attendance at OUR2009 doll show all the way from France for her 2nd personal visit to the Dollery!   This year she will also participate with at least one more doll in a one of a kind costuming.

About Heloise: Heloise's dolls are on display in many Swiss and French museums. Her first original doll was sculpted in 1976 in fabric. In 1982 she discovered resin and has worked with it ever since as she feels it best captures the translucent complexion of a child. Heloise has created one-of-a-kind dolls since 1993, however, most of her dolls are limited editions from eight pieces to one hundred (most under 35).  The chairs are sold separately as well as the stools. The prices are listed below. For those of you who are new to Heloise dolls - her editions are of the sculpt. For example - Heloise will do only 35 for example of the face (sculpt) in a number of different outfits and hair and eye color as indicated by the dolls number. Therefore, there are only 35 of the sculpt for example of Jade even though she is done as Jade#1 and Jade#2. Heloise will decide how many of each based on the orders she has. These dolls are superb and always are in high demand. They always sell out quickly. Some of Heloise dolls are full body resins full sculpted (therefore more expensive then her resin dolls with cloth bodies). All have Painted eyes - beautifully painted with a glass glaze applied which makes the dolls look real. The dolls have human or mohair wigs. Many of the dolls are Free Standing as well.  Most of Heloise's prior prior editions are completely sold out. There may in some cases be some availability thru her due to a cancellation but this is rare.  Be sure to email kmalone@dollery.com for further details and how to order and to be added to our Heloise mailing list! Also - feel free to email us on the availability of any of her older dolls as sometimes, we get very lucky and are able to special order one!
