New site with available art!

 Since I can remember art and specially art dolls have been part of my fantasies and several years ago I was able to start the wonderful experience of creating them. This road has become my livelihood and I am grateful for it. I have many ideas pending that I would like to show you and that will make me the dollmaker artist I want to be. Fantastic beings that live in my imagination and that someday I would like to materialize. 
If you enjoy my art and want to see more, please consider supporting what I do. 
For that instance I have created two pages:
https://ko-fi.com/amadogravagnoporcelainbjd
and
https://society6.com/porcelainbjd

The first one. Ko-FI,  is a crowfunding site were you can colaborate for  just the cost of a cofee to help to improve my art in a lot of ways: improving my techniques, acquire new equipment and materials, the release of the  long term posponed resin line and the china painted doll line, to create more beautiful pictures of our dolls and to create new content for our blog.

Society6 is a print on demand site that will allow you to get prints and exclusive personalized deco objects with my art on it at a very low cost. Before to become a dollmaker I was an illustrator and many of that art will be available on it, plus new designs I am working on. 

Thank you very much in advance for any help you choose to give, it will make my dream came true !!!

Medusa, protective goddess.

This was one of the most special and challenging dolls of the gone year. I am very proud of her and hopping that I can make at least a similar doll at any moment. There is still a lot of unedited pictures of her in my folders that will be published during the year. It is a way of to maintain contact with her memory since she is not in my hands anymore. We made special props and scenarios for to take pictures of her and look for new ways to show her. My favourite ones are the imprisoned in chains ones, there is only a few published. The rest will take some time for its processing and publishing. 

Working with the snake hair was the best part, even if most of the time I was playing with the chains and imaginning all the possible styles that can be acchieved with that material XDDD
All the little darlings were fixed in place with tons of glue and epoxy, over a hard casket instead of the soft silicon base that usually made for the wigs, and they will not move anymore, but I left three of them loose for to play with them arround the body: 3 I put some super tiny red glass beads in the eyes and added flowers and faceted crystals. 

 The snakes wig is magnetic and quite heavy for its size! It was necessary to replace some of the elastics of the body for a metal string, so now she is able of to hold the body pose. The earrings are two little flowers too. The bra was being made with copper sheet but changed my mind in the process and finally made it with metallic leaves rescued from old earrings, with a little silicon protection under the bra to avoid scratches in the surface. The body was made from our mermaid mold and severly modified, joining some pieces together , cutting another ones, and creating new ones from scratch. The head was made from our Nubia mold, but modified for to give her a gracefull greek profile.  
We are thinking into create a prototype of this character. 
I fall in love with her and hope you feel the same for this strong and beautiful protective goddess.
