"Where Dream Sashas Are Reborn"
| Welcome to Spring Valley Studios, where previously loved Sasha dolls are reborn in a one of a kind Sasha tradition! The basic Sasha doll mold, as sculpted and created by Sasha Morgenthaler, lends itself beautifully to being changed and made into a one of a kind doll. Just look at the hundreds of different studio dolls Sasha created over the course of nearly four decades with the four basic headmolds! I have set up a slideshow (below) all about my custom Sasha dolls! I have been repainting and customizing Sasha dolls since 2004. The later factory production Sashas usually partially or entirely had their facial features stamped on by machine, all in a uniform way. These dolls lend themselves perfectly to being recreated as one a kind dolls as Sasha Morgenthaler heself created. My dolls are never copies of Sasha's art (could anyone ever even hope to copy this remarkable woman's work?) But rather, like other repaint artists, I am inspired by her basic doll mold and her own styles. I'm thrilled to see how this remarkably simple doll mold lends itself to so many different interpretations, each with it's own uniqueness. I hope you enjoy seeing my dolls! If you wish to be put on a mailing list when a new doll is ready, contact me! |

Meet the newest two Spring Valley Sashas! They are an oddly matched pair, but just
happened to be completed at the same time!
The girl is Raphaela. Raphaela began as a 1970 Gregor. She is a contrast "twin" to
Soleil, a doll completed and sold last month. She has the same high quality synthetic
mohair wig that has been cut and styled for her. It's very lightweight and it can be styled
in many different ways for different looks. Her eyes are dark blue, her cheeks blushed
and she has light freckles. She wears a handmade white dress, matching pants and a
lightweight pink sash around her waist. She was inspired by Sasha's 1900's children in
white.
Because Raphaela was a play doll, she has some light staining around her ankles and
feet from her original sandals. She could wear shoes if her new owner so desired but I
had nothing that would be an appropriate match for her here and I thought she looked
very cute barefoot! Raphaela is AT AUCTION $295 on Ebay

(SALE PENDING) Meet Brishen! Brishen is one
of the rare boys I've had the pleasure of creating!
Brishen began as a 1970's Gregor that had been
very played with.
He has been given a modacrylic wig which has
been cut and heat treated to give it an untamed
look. Brishen is a Gypsy name, and he was
inspired by Sasha Morgenthaler's nomadic
studio children in rags. He has auburn hair, blue
eyes and freckles. He was very played with and
has two small marks on his torso.
Brishen's clothing is old; his pants were stained
and torn Gregor Pyjama bottoms. His shirt is a
vintage doll shirt that has been cut to look worn
and his sweater wrap is vintage 1950's and is a
wool or fleece type fabric.
Brishen is a one of a kind, comes signed and
with a certificate. He is $325

Meet Melina! Melina means "honey" and this
lovely girl began as a honey blonde Sasha
from 1980 with cut hair. I have trimmed it for
her into a special style and she is a new
custom doll!
Melina wears a handmade traditional style
Sasha dress and underthings. Her features
have been repainted and her eyes are a
bluish green color. She has very, very lightly
tinted cheeks. She is the perfect doll to end
the summer of 2010!
Melina is a fun doll and very versatile! Her
hair can be styled in many different ways, as
it is rooted and any outfit would compliment
her colors!
Melina is $295 and comes signed with a
paper certificate. Overseas shipping is
available by express mail for $41.
