“Historical Figures of Canada” Doll Collection by Irina Gorelkina

Posted on February 21, 2015 by irinagorelkina

Is it possible to arrange the meeting where Samuel de Champlain, Comte de Frontenac, Thomas D’Arcy McGee, William Lyon Mackenzie King and Agnes Campbell Macphail could discuss important political issues together?

No, they had lived in different historical periods. And “Yes”- it is possible in the world of art.

My doll collection “Historical Figures of Canada” is now on display at the Essa Public Library in Angus, Ontario.

I am grateful to the South Simcoe Arts Council and to the administration of Essa Public Library for making it happen.

I offer you some images from this collection and hope you will enjoy them.

1. Comte de Frontenac 2. Lawren Harris

3. Samuel de Champlain 4. Thomas D’Arcy McGee

Jane Austen Inspired Doll: a Lady

Posted on December 21, 2014 by irinagorelkina

“Jane Austen Inspired Doll: a Lady”

Jane Austen’s world is so beautifully old-fashioned, so deeply sophisticated, so sincerely fragile and romantic that it seems to be absolutely impossible to depict it in any art or craft piece. I wished just to touch it with the help of the fashion during Austen’s time.
