Author: ConnieZink • Discussion: No Comments

The Magnificent A. Marque!!!! Newest Online Course with Connie Zink! The first “Live” class starts Wednesday night, November 2nd, 2022 at 7:30 PM CT. Join me on my journey as I paint this very unusual and beautiful antique reproduction for the first time in 35 years! This photo is soft-fired greenware from both the Seeley mold (left) and Byron mold (right). I will be painting both heads in class. I notice very subtle differences between the two head molds. The A. Marque has a fascinating history and we will be covering some of that info in class also. For complete information on how the course works and to sign up check out my link below. Cost for entire course is $50.00. All classes are recorded and can be watched at your convenience indefinitely. Hope to see you in class! Connie Zink

Last Chance to Order NYDP Composition Bodies, Molds, Porcelain Slip and China Paints at the 10% Discount!!!!

Author: ConnieZink • Discussion: 2 Comments

November 22nd 2013 FF Dolls 011

The final days have arrived for the 10% discount sale on New York Doll Products (Seeley’s) Composition Bodies, Molds, Porcelain Slip, and China Paints. Sale prices are only good on orders placed through Land of Oz Dolls. Sale ends at midnight, Friday, February 6th. Inquiries and orders must be sent to landofozdolls@mchsi.com by midnight, Friday night. My distributorship ends on Sunday, February 8th, so I will be removing the NYDP porcelain slip and composition body pages from my website this weekend.

I am also a distributor for The Bell Collection and Collectible Doll Co., so will be concentrating on these companies and will be happy to continue to serve my customers with Bell and Collectible doll products, such as porcelain slip, doll molds, doll bodies, china paints, brushes, etc. I will also be adding pages to my website for composition bodies made from Compo-Bell we will be manufacturing ourselves. Bodies may also be ordered in porcelain, in both SFGW and bisque. We have many, many sizes of antique reproduction body molds in French, German, Baby, Toddler, and Lady styles that will be available in both painted and unpainted pieces poured in Compo-Bell. Body parts may be purchased unstrung and you can string yourself.

Ordering the parts and stringing them yourself will reduce shipping prices as the boxes used to ship can be smaller, which in turn will reduce shipping costs. Most shipping companies have now gone to dimensional rates instead of rates determined by weight for packages that don’t weigh a lot.

Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with or if you have any questions. Please contact me at landofozdolls@mchsi.com or phone 815-565-0024. Thanks!

Dolly Hugs,
