Introducing Pidgin!

This is Pidgin and she’s been my big project for the past year.

Pidgin is a modern take on the classic European porcelain fashion doll.

She is completely handmade by me in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

These dolls are maquette or prototype dolls and are part of a larger project that I’ll be reviling soon.
