Rin Sakurako
She's my first head mold. I wanted Rin to
be an Asian looking girl and the most
important thing for me was the look of
her nose. I imagine her being  strong and
self confident. Her face is truly unique
and you can not mistake her with any
other doll.

doll philosophy
I've started collecting Ball Jointed
Dolls in 2003. Through those years I
tried my best in all kinds of doll
customizing – dress making, wig
making, make-up and modifications
and finally, the doll making. The
reason I've become so interested in
BJD is the fact, that the owner is also
a doll`s creator. It's amazing that
you can have such a great influence
on your doll`s appearance and this
kept me interested in BJD for all
those ears. In 2010 I've graduated from
the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw,
Poland. During the years of studying
I've learned all sorts of fine arts,
but my main interest was always a
doll. Both my master thesis were
dollfie-themed. The first one, back in
2007, was about dolls and sewing
patterns, and the second, in 2010, was a
Japanese tea ceremony book in which
a BJD was a guide.
After my graduation I've decided
to try my best and become a doll
artist. Making my first
commercial doll took a whole
year of hard work. I believe that
in the BJD hobby, the doll you
choose should be yours as much as
possible. That's why I'm making my
dolls blank and nude – I want you
to be the creator of their
appearance. My job is to provide a
base on which you can make the
doll you dreamed of.
As a graphic artist, for many years
I've been drawing Ball Jointed Dolls
and the style of my drawings is
visible in the sculpture. During the
designing process I was lucky to
find, my now friend, Alice, who
helped me with the first sculpt. I
hope that you'll come to like my
idea of a doll and find it inspiring.
My greatest wish is to bring you the
doll that will trigger your
imagination and creativity.
Babette
Babette is non contemporary looking. She has a stern charm and I
find her elegant and ethereal, highly versatile. She has as many
faces as many owners. She has a scar on her left cheek, but the
story behind it should be written by you.

Limited edition (up to 100 dolls).

I don't like “pretty” dolls. For me,
the most important thing is the
doll's character. There must be
that “something” about her that
makes someone love or hate her
from the first sight. I wouldn't
like my dolls to be just cute. I love
dolls that can tell a story. I hope
that you'll be able to create it by
yourself by just looking in the
doll's eyes.
Each ball-jointed doll should be
individual and unique, that's why,
during the casting process, I'm
finishing all the details by hand.
It helps with making each doll
unique. I love all the small
details that mark out each of my
dolls. They may be the same head
mold, but they each have a
different soul. By those small
details I'd like you to feel that
the doll you are going to get is
the one – the only doll in the
world that was meant to be yours.
Marti Presents Dolls are hand
made from the prototypes,
through silicon form, to the final
casting and sending.
how to order

Marti Presents Dolls are made on individual order only. Each doll is
made specifically for the customer, that's why you need to sign to
the waiting list to order your doll. To do it just e-mail me (via the
“contact” link above) and I'll let you know when your doll can be
ready. Please, understand, that due to my working alone on the
dolls, I can not give you the exact date of completing your doll.
There are many factors in doll making process that cannot be
foreseen.
Each doll is hand made with extra care. I'm making sure to remove all
seam lines. Due to the hand process each doll is unique and a little
different from the rest. I'm making sure to supply you with a doll
that is one of a kind. While all the doll parts are casted, the hand
finish is giving them an individual look. I want your doll to be one in
the world, made especially for you.

payment

Marti Presents Dolls price is 650$ + shipping. The shipping cost is 60$
worldwide.
I prefer PayPal as method of payment.
The price includes a nude and blank, strung doll, a pair of high heel
foot parts and wooden doll box. I do not provide a make-up service, as
I believe that the make-up is one of the most important decision while
creating a doll. I'd like this decision to be only yours.
Please, e-mail me with the wait list request. Wait for my reply with
the order number – please, use it in further correspondence. To be
added to the waiting list, you need to make a deposit payment of 100$.
When the turn to cast your doll will come, you will be noticed by e-
mail. Please, make the remaining payment within 5 business days from
receiving it.
If I don't receive your payment, you'll be removed from the wait-list
and the next person in line will take your place. In this case your
order will be cancelled and the deposit won't be refunded. Please,
make your decision about ordering Marti Presents doll
thoughtfully. Please, do not hesitate to e-mail me if you have any
questions

preservation and resin information

Marti Presents Dolls are made of polyurethane resin. It's a strong
material, which can be customized and painted just like any ABJD.
Please, remember, that the doll shouldn't be put in direct sunlight,
as it may change its colour. Polyurethane resin can get yellow a
little with time.
Due to the hand made process, sometimes a small bubbles, spots and
little differences in resin colour may occur, especially if you modify
the doll. I'm doing my best to avoid any imperfections and each of the
dolls is closely inspected before sending them to the customers, but
sometimes it may happen. Please, don't order my dolls if you are
uncomfortable with it.
Please, avoid dropping your doll and forcing her joints. You can
place your doll in the water, but, please, make sure to dry the metal
“S” hooks and magnets as they may corrode. Please, also wash the
string if you have put the doll in unclean water.
The high heel foot part should be handled with extra care. The heel
is thin and may break if you drop it. Please, use it carefully and
refrain from leaving your doll standing on high heels for a long
time without support.
If your doll breaks, there's possibility to make repairs of the broken
part or replace it.
Always remember, that Marti Presents Dolls are not toys! They are
pieces of art and shouldn't be given to children.
