Hand-made seal skin dolls with hoods made of polar bear fur, by renowned artist Ursula Paniyak, of Chevak, Alaska. What makes Paniyak’s traditional Cup’ik Eskimo dolls especially unique is how their limbs are positioned to be fishing, dancing, weaving baskets, or representing any other number of cultural native activities.

13th International Doll Festival and the 13th National Doll Making Competition2009. 04. 24.
13th International Doll Festival and the 13th National Doll Making Competition
All doll makers that have earned a name for themselves in doll making in Hungary feel the need to represent themselves every year on this event with a new creation. The exhibition provides an insight to visitors not only into the world of toy dolls, but also into the representation of the human form that grown-ups also find enchanting.
In addition to the many hundreds of dolls created for this occasion, old dolls, doll accessories and teddy bears are also showcased at the exhibition. The doll creations of German, Austrian doll makers, as well as doll makers from Vojvodina (Serbia) will be exhibited.
Creations received for the toy category of the Amateur Artistic Competition entitled Amator Artium and co-organised by the Hungarian Institute for Culture and the Kiss Áron Toy Society will also be displayed at the exhibition.
Main themes for this years doll making competition: Sisi and her age, Folk Costumes from the Kiskunság Region, Characters of the Tales of Elek Benedek. Many creations were received in relation to these themes. A number of doll making workshops also await children and grown-ups alike during the exhibition. All visitors can cast a vote in relation to the doll that is most to their liking, the most popular of which will win the Visitors Prize of the 13th International Doll Exhibition.
Doll creators will compete in eight competition categories. /Individually designed and created artistic dolls; Dolls created with the use of elements and parts that are commercially available/ In addition to dolls created from scratch, those who only like to fit costumes to dolls may also take part in the competition, in the Costume category, within which there are Folk Costume, Age Specific, Historic and Other subcategories. A good number of teddy bear makers have also enrolled in the competition. Other categories include: Reborn Dolls, Doll World, Life Scenes and Youth Category. The jury consist of well-known experts (members of which are: Ilse Moik, Doris Stannet, Ferencné Keglovich, Hajna Barsi, Eta Hóborné, Dr. Erzsébet Györgyi, Gabriella Szita Fogasné), and the criteria applied by the jury include aesthetics, as well as suitability for playing, in addition to the quality of the technical work. The prizes for the competition are provided by Zichy Palace, the Hungarian Doll Fans Society, the Kiss Áron Hungarian Toy Association, as well as Gödöllő Royal Palace.
On the Doll Conference participants will be given the opportunity to listen to presentation held on one of the specialist fields of toys: the impact of dolls, as a part of which the presenters will highlight the importance of the doll in the activities of teachers, doctors, psychologists, museums, as well as professional and amateur doll makers. The objective of the practical workshops is to present new techniques already available abroad, and to try these in practice.
The conference will be opened by:
Dr. Erzsébet Györgyi
President of the Kiss Áron Hungarian Toy Association
Moë and her dear teddy bear
Babies and bears

Current Doll Wish List
My current doll wish list (please note I just wanted to make up a wish list- I am not buying anything at the moment). There are at least two notes on each of them- one is what they are for those unfamiliar and the other is my personal commentary on them.
Some of these are more likely than others Little Fee Leah Sugar Plum for example will definitely be the next bjd I purchase, while others are more unlikely like Super Dollfie Suiseiseki for example who while lovely I don’t think I could justify her price as I don’t love her *that* much. Even if I could somehow afford them all I don’t think I would want quite that many due to space constraints and my own sanity lol.
You will probably notice the conspicuous absence of pullip and friends, while I still love pullip above all others. I am pretty happy with who I have right now which is basically everyone lol and am trying to concentrate on only buying the newest releases as they come out and customs (of course a few Papins wouldn’t hurt). It kind of depresses me in a way but honestly I am happy right now.
