Small authors doll Baba Yaga with broom made of polymer clay, painted and dressed by hand. Height is about 9 cm

History

Standing just about 9 cm (3.5 inches) tall, this miniature Baba Yaga is a one-of-a-kind handmade art doll, carefully sculpted from polymer clay and hand-painted with high-quality acrylic paints. Inspired by the mysterious guardian of Slavic folklore, she is portrayed not as a frightening witch, but as an ancient keeper of woodland secrets.

Dressed in handcrafted clothing and carrying her tiny broom, Baba Yaga is accompanied by a small bird that has become her loyal forest companion. Every wrinkle, expression, and tiny detail has been individually sculpted by hand, giving the doll its own distinctive personality and timeless character.

The figure is built on a wire armature, allowing the arms and legs to be gently posed. No molds are used during the creation process, making each doll a genuine one-of-a-kind collectible that can never be exactly reproduced.

This miniature sculpture celebrates the magic of old fairy tales, enchanted forests, and forgotten legends. Whether displayed among art dolls, fantasy collectibles, or on a bookshelf, it invites the viewer to imagine stories of woodland paths, whispered spells, and unexpected friendships.

Every handmade doll is created individually with patience and care, ensuring that each piece carries its own unique spirit and charm.

What this thing remembers

Youth Is Faster Than Your Thoughts

Once upon a time, I was a beautiful, successful lady. Everyone loved me. Everyone praised me. Everyone adored me. People dreamed of talking to me for at least a few minutes, or at least standing somewhere near me. I didn't have a single free minute.

I used to get up at five in the morning so that by eight I could finish drawing everything I needed on myself: put on makeup, creams, powder, foundation, change my eyelashes for longer ones, completely remove my eyebrows, and then draw new ones — but prettier.
