ALESIA NEWMAN-BREEN

Celebrity Dolls Handmade in America

All of Alesia's one-of-a-kind (NOT one-of-a-series) handmade dolls are exactly that - no molds are used, no off-the-shelf factory-made components. Each doll is made by hand with hand-sculpted polymer clay head, breastplate, arms and legs, and a hand-constructed cloth-over-wire-armature body. All garments and accessories are sewn and assembled by hand. THERE IS ONLY ONE OF EACH DOLL. Prices range from about $600 to about $800 a doll. A very reasonable price for a unique masterpiece of the dollmaker's art. The dolls range in size from 14 to 18 inches. Call 410-683-1562 or email newbreen@comcast.net for info.

Alesia can make a personalized portrait doll from YOUR photo! Call or email for info!

Mia Farrow doll Ruth Gordon doll Rosemary's Baby doll made in America

Poor helpless Rosemary Woodhouse (Mia Farrow). It's tough to be a lonely expectant mother in the scary big city. Especially if you're living at the spooky Dakota and your wacky neighbor Minnie Castevet (Ruth Gordon) has a creepy obsession with your pregnancy. And what really happened to that nice young woman from the laundry room? Alesia has created uncanny likenesses of the stars from Roman Polanski's film of Ira Levin's modern urban horror story. Both are completely handmade, fully posable one-of-a-kind masterpieces of the dollmaker's art. All of their clothing and accessories are handmade as well, including Rosemary's handbag and luggage and Minnie's mail. SOLD to a collector.
