About dolls
For a long-long time, up till the end of the last century, the collectors all over the world have been interested only in antique dolls (such dolls are usually no less than a hundred years old). Nevertheless, recently a hand-made designer’s doll has taken back it’s rightful place in the art world.

Growing up, people lose most of their childhood illusions and it becomes harder and harder to feel pure joy, but that doll, once found somewhere in the attic, inevitably brings back all those feelings. The first dolls (archeologists say that dolls have appeared more than 30 thousand years ago) were…
