Glad you stopped by!  This website represents the doll creations of  porcelain doll artist Jeri Ann Ray-Payne (me), a long-time well-known doll artisan specializing in realistic museum-quality Antique Reproduction bisque dolls. Available are custom-made Bleuette and Bleuette family of dolls such as Baby Bambino and Rosette, Daisyettes, Simon Halbig Little Star, Unis France SFBJ dolls.  As well, from time to time I will have French Fashion dolls, French Petites and Milettes, all-bisque dolls such as Mignonnettes and other favorite antique reproductions of wonderful French and German Bisque Dolls of yesteryear.

For over 30 years, I've made dolls for collectors world-wide!  Doll-making is for me, a labor of love, as I've seen many beautiful little dolls come into being little people ....  from porcelain slip poured into antique doll molds, to the kilns for bisque firing, to the paintings to achieve their antique counterparts likenesses, to finished costumed dolls waiting to travel to new homes to be cherished for years to come!  What could be more satisfying to a doll artist!

I'm a long time member of the famed Doll Artisan Guild of Oneonta NY, and have participated and won awards in many of the prestigeous doll artists competitions, as well as taken many awards at national doll club showing and events.

My dolls have been sold in stores, but mostly, I prefer to work one-to-one with you, the collector, in creating a doll based on your specifications. That gives you, the owner/collector a part in the creation process as you can decide many of the features of your doll -  the wig style and color, eye color, body choice and whether you would like a completely costumed finished doll, or one in pretty undergarments ready for you to lavish with a wardrobe of your making!  The choices are yours...  To learn more about each doll that can be customized, visit her page from the drop-down menu: "Custom Order A Bleuette" -  You'll be guided here in the steps necessary to create your doll.   

Additionally, under  "Dolls / Doll items Ready For Sale"  ... I will list dolls that are ready for immediate sale - these may include Bleuettes, as well as other popular collectible dolls such as Mignonnettes, French Petites & Milettes, Baby Dolls, French Fashion Dolls, Googlie-eyed and character dolls, miniatures - and varies from time to time as what is available, so check frequently!. You will also find some doll related items such as clothing, accessories, small dolls for your dolls under this menu heading.
