When we wrote our original article on Connie Lowe of Marbled Halls, we planned to create a video to accompany the story. Due to scheduling problems, the idea was temporarily abandoned. Instead we decided to visit her this summer and make a video that would include some of Connie’s newest work which she was designing for the United Federation of Doll Clubs Convention. The latest costumes were just unveiled at the Convention last week and were extremely well received.

From Connie:

“My new collection is called “La Vie Est Une Mascarade” (Life is a Masquerade). It features a whimsical mix of Elizabethan, theatre, and vintage-inspired costumes. I previewed the line with a few samples at the United Federation of Doll Collectors convention in Atlanta this past week, offering the costumes with dolls as a full-set. Much to my surpirise…I sold most of what I took. Even better, they were sold to antique doll collectors…not BJD collectors for the most part. The mix of antique styes with the BJDs was very well received in this venue. I am now working on several more costumes for this line and will be offering them sometime in August. They will be offered first on my website, and then on my forums Debbies Doll Town, Zone of Zen, Himstedt Doll Forum, and Den of Angels. I will be selling full-sets (including the doll) as well as stand-alone costumes. My response at the show has encouraged me to finish my OOAK paperclay dolls as well as sculpt a doll for resin production in the near future.”

“Also in the works are several new lines that I will be producing with a well-known doll clothing company. I hope to have these ready for ordering by IDEX this year. The new lines will consist of some works similar to my OOAK dolls with an antique flair, one of which will be called “By the Sea”, but I will also be producing a funky and fun new line for slim MSDs and YoSDs!!!”
