ABOUT DOLLETTE BOUTIQUE AND ARTIST JERI ANN RAY-PAYNE--

With over twenty years of professional doll-making and teaching experience, I am
several times an award-winning doll artist, a member of UFDC, the Historical Twickenham Doll Club, and the famed Doll Artisan Guild. Since I myself have long collected antique dolls, my replicas of these beautiful dolls achieve the look and feel of their ancestors. Very artistic creation techniques and careful study of the old dolls replicated, artistic china painting and firing techniques are used to achieve superior, heirloom quality in these treasured dolls. 

Many collectors will attest to the authenticity of the antique dolls I have recreated for them.

Costuming is also authentically based upon what a doll of that time era would have worn. The finest dollmaking supplies available today are used, from high quality wigs to beautiful glass AND paperweight eyes, these dolls deserve the best. The dolls you choose to have customed made will become tomorrow's cherished antique dolls.  

The collection of dolls I've chosen to replicate are wonderful "cabinet-sized" highly sought favorites of cherished French and German antique dolls of the past. The dolls range in size from small mignonnettes of as petite as 4 inches, to 20-inch exquisite French Bebes and and wonderful dolly-faced German dolls with lots of beauty and history!. You can choose from the wonderful Bleuettes, Daisy and Daisyettes, French Milettes, and such beautiful French and German dolls as the works of Jumeau, Bru, A. Thuillier, F. Gaultier, Steiner, Kestner, Simon Halbig, Kammer and Reinhardt, many mignonnettes and other character children and baby dolls.
