Petrographie collection - Grés

*My access to blogspot.com was blocked for a while so this is a late update.

I've had this OOAK collection ready for a while, but was planning to release it only after the Cherub and Seraph were out. However, there seems to be a delay after another from the factories (now the fashion factory told us there will be a delay of 3 weeks at least in the production) so I thought I'd unveil it now to give you something to pass the time while waiting for the LE dolls. The Petrographie collection consist of 3 dressed OOAK dolls: Aimant, Grès and Craie. More photos at the flickr set. 

Grès is the second doll in the Petrographie collection and features the African Nnaji sculpt.  Her face is hand painted with light hazel green eyes, shimmering gold eye shadow and her parted lips have ombre effect with gold and grey. Her nail polish is a French manicure in gold with grey tips. The long applied lashes have golden tips.

Her 20's inspired outfit consists of a under bust brocade corset dress with rouched silk hem, golden netting choker top with asymmetrical rouching, gold and grey Art Nouveau serpent sculpt heels, and a hand beaded skull cap with lavender glass beads. All items are hand made by em'lia.

Grès will be part of a charity auction of New York doll club Metrodolls' (http://metrodolls.blogspot.com/) event "Style evolution 1920 to present" that takes place on October 6th. The club accepts bids by proxy.
