June Bride - 6月の花嫁
*不幸の後には幸福が来るという意味合いの一連の季節にまつわることわざです。卯月(うづき)の驟雨(しゆうう)は皐月(さつき)花を咲かせる。
In England - they have a variety of seasonal wording - like April Shower, May Flower, June Bride....
Even in Japan or Asia - June is a rainy/humidity season - but June in England is less rainy and sunny days continue - which is a good month for weddings.
Antique Markets are held at a variety of places - like Hotels, Castles, Parks or roadside.
Portbello Market which is held by the west of Hyde Park is very poplular for tourists. Every Saturday I woke up at 5AM and drove to the market. I have many memories of buying antique clothes, brooches, and laces for bisquedolls.
The wedding doll of the picture is Jumeau of 37cm. I have also attached a previous picture which shows a wedding ceremony.
Bisque doll - fashion doll to share trend - ファッション伝達のためのビスクドール
(English followed)
ファッションドールとは何かということについては、いろいろな意見があるようです。1860年から1890年の期間に、フランスで作られた、ビスクの頭と、皮のボディーを持ち、成人女性のプロポーションを持った人形で、作られた時代に流行していた豪華な服を着ている人形という意見が、最も包括的な定義のようです。
ファッションドール ジュモー45cm
ファッションドールは何の目的のために作られたのかということについても、小さな子供の遊具として作られたという意見と、オートクチュールの製造者が、マネキンとして使うために作られたという意見とが、あるようです。
現実には、いずれの目的のためにも使われたのではないでしょうか。
人形も色々なものがあり、木製やワックスやパピエマッシュ(紙・石灰)やチャイナ(陶磁器)などでつくられました。
私のファッションドール人形は、頭部。肩・手・足は1200度で焼成したビスクでつくっており、胴体は布・革などで制作してます。
A bisque doll was originally developed as a “Fashion Doll” to share/show fashion of the upper class as a kind of mannequin rather than toys for children.
What is a fashion-doll? There are various stories. The most common fashion doll was made in France around 1860~1890, has a bisque head, has an adult proportion with body made by leather, and wearing the latest fashion. Some definition has only the limitation of a Parisiennea (Parisian woman) of Jumeau or a Lady doll who “doesn’t” wear the prevalent/trendy wear.
From a historic viewpoint - there are many fashions of a luxury doll from an ancient era.
The purpose of fashion dolls is as toys for children and another is as mannequins for Haute couture producers. Probably there were both purposes for the dolls.
There are also a variety of types of dolls made from woods, wax, paper marche, china etc.. They have an adult proportion wearing prevalent/trendy clothes.
In my fashion doll the head, shoulder, hands, and legs are made by bisque and baked/heated at 1200C with the body made by leather and fabric.
Bru Jeune w/ red feather hat- 赤い帽子の女の子

有名な作品のため検索すると他の方々の作品がたくさんGoogleでは出てきますが(Bru Jeune - Google 検索)、私の作品いかがでしょうか?
Today's doll is Bru Jeune which orignally designed by Bru was made at Saint Denis near Paris, France. 30 cm is a relatively compact size which fits nicely in homes.
I met Bru through my 2nd lesson in England after a 2hr drive through M25, in Brighton, a town near the Sea. I attended a 2-day workshop to create one doll which was 23 inch with a wine-red long dress.
The head was held by the left hand and painted with thin brushes, and eyelashes and eyebrows were also written.
Now I use water based painting but at that time we used oil painting which made it difficult to make corrections.
My teacher prepared dinner for us and we had a lot of fun time which is still a good memory. Summer in London is bright until 10pm and driving in the summer
was also a lot of fun.
This original doll is very famous and you can see many of the same models in google search - but I believe each ones bring a different impression(Bru Jeune - Google 検索) - What kind of impression do you have for my work?
I had an image for Christmas holidays in the Red Shantung Hat with a feather. I paid alot of attention in drawing the lips which shows the childish-like smile .
