A porcelain tribute to breast cancer fighters and the choices they face.

In the growing awareness of Breast Cancer, a disease which appears to be the inevitable side-effect of womanhood, this doll was my attempt at working through my own personal fear of it, and facing up to the possibility that one day I could be amongst hundreds of thousands of women who develop it. I can only hope to be brave, like so many other women.

Extensive tattooing on the head and a little bit on the tips of the fingers. Halo is 10k yellow gold.

This doll is not for sale, as I’m not sure what to do with her yet.

Daily Deviation

Given 2011-03-24
I came across Surviving by ~Marina-B and feel it deserves recognition for both the emotional story as well as the incredible workmanship that's gone into modifying the base doll to match the form of a breast cancer survivor.

I've been admiring your talent since I first discovered you. I have been captivated by the world of ball jointed dolls and your dolls played a big part in this.

I happen to notice tonight that we won a DD on the same day. Wanted to let you know because I am a breast cancer survivor. When something like this happens, I call it a "GOD-incidence" rather than a coincidence. You have great insight. My DD was for my watercolor painting I used for my deviant ID on one of my accounts [which I began mostly just for keeping journal entries]. My DD is here: [link] I wanted to share it with you in hope it will lift you up. As I am sure your sensitive and beautiful portrayal of womanhood has done all over the world.

You have an amazing gift and you have worked very hard to share it with the world. Thank you.

Auction her off and donate the money to a breast cancer charity.
