Custom Integrity Toys dolls by Julie Manley Garden of Earthly Delights Interview Poppy Parker OOAK

While in Canberra during these holidays I had the great pleasure of being invited to the home and studio of the wonderful Julie Manley who creates unique dolls and fashions, primarily for Integrity Toys dolls like Poppy Parker, but also for 16" fashion dolls including Tonner Tyler, Gene Marshall and Jamieshow. She competes regularly in the Dolls Magazine competitions and is currently in the running for the Industry Choice Award with an amazing redesign of Agnes Von Weiss Up with a Twist, which she showed me in her studio. She has also had her own doll fashion exhibition at the Canberra Museum and Gallery. Julie sells her dolls under the name "Garden of Earthly Delights" chosen for her love of art and hisory, which inspires her work. Seeing her dolls in person is a real joy and I hope to share this with you through my video where she also provides lots of tips and ideas for budding seamstresses and customisers. I definitely feel inspired now!
Julie also has an extensive collection with a wide range of Integrity Toys, as well as Barbie and more.
If you want to get in to with Julie and buy one of her creations, you can contact her (her business card details are shown in the video) or you can contact me or Lou Matheron, who she regularly works with to help with sales. She has a blog and a Facebook page where you can see more of her work.

I would love to see videos of her creations in detail - one doll or two per video - it’s amazing! Needs to be recorded and shared!

[@RhiellasDolls]

I wish I could, but as Julie doesn't live near me I sadly won't be able to go back and see more of her creations, at least not for quite a while. Thank you for watching!

Julie is an amazing designer and customiser. I really admire her work and the beautiful silks and cotton she sources.
