Myriam Powell's Whimsical World

Myriam Powell creates a world full of whimsical, romantic and gothic characters.  Her dolls are gorgeous artistic creations, each stunning to look at.  Every aspect of these dolls - their hair, faces, outfits and accessories - are tiny artistic masterpieces on their own.  Each personality is expressive and stylish.  Not only are they beautiful to look at, each one has a story of her own.  In Myriam's world, everyone is well rounded and quirky (as they should be), these attributes make the dolls even more charming.  They are made with so much care and attention, it's almost impossible to not fall in love with them. 

Myriam took some time to talk about her creations and what inspires this wonderful world.

When did you start making your dolls?

I have been working and designing pieces with clay for almost three years and creating art dolls about six months ago. I started reading, got captivated by it, taught myself, and now I'm totally hooked.

Where do you find the inspiration for them?

I get inspired by colors, objects, styles, the distinctive personality of some of my friends, a good memory that was meaningful to me at some point in my life and music. Music makes everything flow easy.

How would you describe your style?

I have eclectic style. I combine a little of everything when I'm designing my dolls. I love the edge of funky stuff, the mystical sense of gothic, the simplicity of primitive, and the sweetness and romance of vintage.

What do you enjoy most about that you do?

I enjoy the feeling of creating something that never existed before and the sentiment those pieces transmit to people. You create art because you're passionate about it, but it's even more meaningful when I see others feeling what I felt when I created each piece.
