Heather
Maciak has been creating original dolls since 1992 and her work has won
numerous awards. Previously only available as ultra-limited editions or
one-of-a-kinds, this year (2007) her new little girls are finally available at
a very affordable price point. Lexie and Jenny are 8" tall and made
of the most beautiful porcelain. Their eyes are painted and their hair
is mohair. Their outfits were designed by Heather and Rosemarie Ionker
of Boneka. To add to the fun of playing, Heather has also created
patterns for shoes, a trunk and a sleepover set. We are very proud to
offer Heather's work to our collectors! Now, meet the girls:
Meet
Lexie! Hi! My name is
Lexie, and I just turned five last week. I have red hair in braids and
my eyes are brown. I also have freckles, which I don’t like, but Mummy
says that’s where the sun kissed me. My favorite color is red, but I
don’t have very many red clothes, because Mummy says red doesn’t match my
hair. I have a little sister and two big brothers. I also have a
best friend, named Jennifer, but I just call her Jenny. Jenny really
likes to come to my house, because she says there’s always something going
on. My room has bunk beds, and when Jenny comes for a sleepover, I let
her have the top bunk. I also have a gerbil named Finnegan- he lives in
a cage in my room, and Jenny and I get to feed him lettuce for a treat.
I have a tire swing in my backyard that my Daddy put up for us, but we have to
take turns with my brothers. Sometimes, Jenny and I go over to the
playground and skip rope. Jenny tries to run in when I’m skipping, but
she’s not too good at it yet. No matter what we do, we always have
fun, because we’re best friends!
Meet
Jenny! Hi! My name is
Jenny, and I’m almost five years old. I have blonde hair that my Mummy
usually puts in ponytails, and my eyes are china blue. My favorite color
is pink, and I have a kitten named Patches. Mummy says she is a calico
cat, which I think is a funny name. My best friend is Lexie. She
likes to come to my house, because it’s so nice and quiet. I have a
fancy bed with a canopy, and Lexie thinks it’s way prettier than her bunk beds.
I have a special shelf in my room that my dad built for me. It has
my storybook dolls on it, and we have to be very careful when we play with
them. I don’t have any brothers or sisters, but there’s a secret-
there’s a baby in Mummy’s tummy! I have to be very patient- I hope
it’s a sister for me! Sometimes, Lexie and I draw a hopscotch on the
front sidewalk. I have a new box of chalk, and I always use my lucky
chain. But our favorite thing to do is play dress-up. I have a
playhouse in my backyard, and my dad built a dress-up trunk for me. Lexie
and I are going to be best friends forever and ever!
