Tonner Twilight Dolls
Transformed into Unique Dolls |
Slight shadow of facial hair is above.
Edward is clean-shaven below. Light from my studio windows is reflecting in his eyes.

I (Nancy Lee Moran) designed this web page, including all of the backgrounds. Some of the backgrounds are parts of my oil paintings "My Sparkly Trinket" (girl and cockatiel) and "Strong Lily" (Click either image to see it enlarge or to see its own web page). With the backgrounds, I hoped to create a mood as mysterious as that of the forest near Forks, Washington, where the Twilight story happens. The backgrounds are copyrighted to Nancy Lee Moran and may not be copied. |

Since summer 2008 until now, I have used alkyd-resin paints for dolls.
On these two, for the first time, I used acrylic paints. |

The eye sparkles are reflected light from the studio window,
just like a real eye reflects light from its shiny surface. |

My client preferred Edward's face to be smooth.

In the spring of 2009, I enjoyed listening to the first book of the saga by Stephenie Meyer, Twilight, on unabridged CDs from the local library. I confess to only listening to part of the second audiobook, New Moon. Later, while painting the dolls, I watched the DVD of Twilight. |

The artisan painting creates a lovely doll to the specifications of Robert Tonner. In my painting, I aim only for less doll-like and more life-like, to see how much illusion of life I can achieve. Some painting work I do is of such delicacy, in transparent layers, with such time involved, that it would probably be cost-prohibitive to do it within a doll factory setting.
Nancy Lee Moran's POLICY TO SHOW RESPECT for ROBERT TONNER & other doll creators is as follows:
The dolls I use were factory painted. I would never repaint a doll that the artist had painted herself. I would not paint one in a limited edition of fewer than 300 (preferably 500 or more). I am NOT affiliated with any doll company, creator or manufacturer.
