style/swaps
by Mroczko 10 Feb '02

10 Feb '02

Hi Pat and all, It is pretty funny that you should mention this now, as just yesterday I took a pic of a whole group of my work that I have right now. I very seldom have this many of my things at once, so it was kinda fun to put them together. I have never felt that I had much of a "signature" style, but I must, because there are several people on Customdolls that can pick out my work any where! http://www.frii.com/~mroczko/temp/group.jpg The dolls are as follows: ( left to right ) "Suess"ette, OOAK doll for my table host at convention Doris Daisy. Meant to be a table doll, but I have heard they are making their own, so I suppose she will be for sale in my room. Silk N Brocade. I just finished this one to send to the Custom dolls convention. She will be available at the charity auction. I have heard rumors that some of this will be online, so available to the puplic. Copper Midge. Randall, this one is your fault, as I did a quick repaint on a doll to send to you to cheer you up. When you graciously declined, she got this outfit. Lunch in the City. This one is a swap doll for Anita Healey, when we ever get around to it. I used a human pattern on this one, and scaled it down. It was fun making that little sweater. Rebecca, Another table doll. Spendour Again, Auction doll for Grants a Wish. I too can only swap for custom dolls. I have actually bought a couple, but only because they were very good deals from second owners ( I have a Mary Ferretti, and a James Bogue I got that way ) Pat, I actually still have that Poison Ivy doll, but I wouldn't send it to you for anything, as I have improved so much since I did that! I am open to swapping OOAKs for new dolls though, and could be persuaded to make you a Poison Ivy for the right swap! I missed out on the Munsters set, and would do that in a minute. This goes for other people as well. If you would like one of my dolls, let me know, and I bet we can work something out. As far as time to work. Grayson does still take a nap once in a while! I have gotten more confident, and therefor quicker. I was able to complete Silk N Brocade in just a week. ( about 12 hours or so working time ) I try to work before he gets up, after hubby has gone to work, and during his nap, and if nessecary, in the evenings a little before I go to bed. I spend time laying awake in bed designing things in my head! so that is working time too. Sorry for the novel! It is Sunday, and I had time to write. LOL Kathy M. >Yep.

What? Our Pat smokin', LOL! Seriously, though, I think MiKelman's style is more distinct and this is probably due in part to what he has learned has to be done for commercial purposes. This was something that Jason learned, too. IMO, Jason's style is softer than MiKelman's is, though. This goes back to MiKelman's heavier hand on eyes, also just my opinion. It doesn't make one style right and another wrong, just a signature style of the artist. Different styles of artist's screenings give us collectors variety to collect and that is a good thing!

MiKelman's screenings look to use more distinct color bands and less of a feathered or shaded bands. (Does anyone really notice or does it sound like I'm smokin'?) pat >>

Tough question to answer, Pat. Personal opinion plays a major factor in comparing the screenings, LOL. In my opinion, MiKelman's screenings were more dramatic. He has always gone in for a fairly heavy "made up"(like in make up, not fantasy) look in the eyes of his creations. Ken, on the other hand, paints dolls more like they are real women. Ken's approach actually was a slight problem for mass production. To create a mask for the dolls the lines have to be clean and strong from what I have been told and blending of colors for eyes can't be done. Consequently, the Christmas dolls that were produced were not identical to his prototypes. Suzanne In a message dated 2/7/2002 2:36:58 PM Central Standard Time, nqsqurtz(a)staffnet.com writes: << Okay, I am behind in my CAndi history. Then how would most of you compare the style of screening used by MiKelman vs. Bartram? As I've never seen the 1998 Christmas Candis (didn't even remember there were any, that's how behind I am), I can't definitely comment on the distinction in their styles, but would it be safe to say that Ken's style of screening is a bit more conservative in colorization? I'm recollecting that MiKelman's style was to use a larger area of eye shadow on the brow bone. What do the rest of you think? Pat >>

Hi All, I'm behind on list mail again but happened to open this message this morning. The only Candis that Ken did the facial screening for that were actually produced were the 1998 Christmas Candis. There are pics of them, as well as the 1997 Mikelman brunette and red haired Christmas Candis on the in stock page of my site.
