Until her debut with Middleton Doll, Eva Helland has been known in the doll industry for creating one-of-a-kind babies. Eva's interest in making dolls started in first grade. "I had an interest in dolls, not in paying attention in class. Oh, I played the game and pretended to watch the teacher, but I kept clay in my desk so I could make dolls," Eva says.
Eva is well known in the collectible industry for her one-of-a-kind babies. Over the years, Eva's reputation as the creator of dolls with amazingly life-like features has kept her quite busy. People have their names on waiting lists for years, so they can own a one-of-a-kind sculpt by Eva Helland.
Her work was nominated for two 2001 Doll Awards of Excellence, winning one for "Fusse One." Eva is excited about Middleton Doll producing her dolls in vinyl. "I see that my dolls are going to go out to more people, and I'll get pleasure from knowing that," she says. |
