" Lauren"
One Of A Kind Paperclay

DOTY NOMINEE FOR 1999!
AWARD CERTIFICATES

She was sculpted, in clay, by Joke Grobben. She won "The Doty Award" for 1999 as the "Industry's Choice" in the "Artist's One-Of-A-Kind" category. She comes with the award certificate, along with her certificate of authenticity, and is also signed by Joke. It is difficult to explain how pretty she is in person and how beautiful her clothes are. She wears a blue silk dress and a white pinafore that is sheer, but has a tiny floral white on white raised pattern. The pinafore also has two little pockets with embroidered flower on then. She wears adorable little white leather boots that lace up. She stands and has full sculpted legs. She is perfect!

"Nichole"
One Of A Kind Papaerclay
NEVER OWNED! Nichole, 27" high, was entirely made by Joke Grobben. She is a one-of-a-kind, sculpted in clay, and is signed by Joke and comes with her certificate of authenticity. She is also signed on her abdomen by Joke. She stands 26" high, has brown human hair, and blue German blown glass eyes. She has a soft body and a wire armature, as all of Joke's originals; so, she can stand, sit, and be posed. She wears a beautiful ivory silk dress with a sheer silk overdress with lace and pink silk ribbons. She also comes with the matching floral, lace, and faux pearl hair decoration. She was made in 1995 but has
never been owned by anyone other than myself. I have kept her in a box for most of the
time that I have had her. I do not handle my dolls very often. Normally, I leave them
just as the artist had them.
I did not realize how pretty Nichole was until I removed her from her box, June 29th
and took her hair down. I have also learned to make better pictures; so, I have been
able to capture her beauty and detail. She has a beautiful thick human hair wig. You
can style it any way that you wish.

Her little outfit is a one piece suite made of white cotton, with antique lace and has beautiful detailing in the front. It snaps in the back and also ties with a pink ribbon. Her matching bonnet is made of the same as the outfit. She has a cotton jersey suite underneath that is also decorated with pink ribbons and crisscrossed in the front. She can only be posed as shown and cannot sit. She is also signed and comes with her certificate, as all of Joke's dolls do. This is an adorable original doll that will appreciate in value.

One Of A Kind Paperclay
NEVER OWNED!

Mahendra is one of the earlier dolls that I purchased from Joke.
He is a "one of a kind in the world." He was created by Joke and is signed and initialed. He has a black human hair wig and brown
German blown glass eyes. He represents a little boy from
Indonesia; but, is pretty enough to be a girl! His teeth are wonderfully
done by and his face has all of the enduring characteristics of Joke's
work.
As all of Joke's one of a kinds; he has a soft stuffed body, with a wire
armature. His arms and lets can be posed. He can sit or stand, with the help of a doll stand.
He is like new today!! Never owned and been packed away safely
for years.
