Mariengold
My name is Maria and I am a doll designer, author and communications graduate from Berlin. After concluding my studies at the Berlin University of the Arts, I started my own business with the label Mariengold in 2007.
I design and fashion professionally hand-made dolls, and publish eBooks with do-it-yourself tutorials for dolls and doll clothes. I teach local doll making classes regularly and write a blog that offers articles relating to dolls and doll making, as well as colorful accounts from my workshop and my life.
You can find my doll portfolio here.
My webshops can be found at Etsy. There I sell dolls, eBooks for the making of dolls and doll clothes, as well as material kits & supply for doll making.

Tutorials for the Making of Dolls and Doll Clothes
In addition to making dolls, I also enjoy designing doll clothes and various doll types. In my Etsy shop I offer eBooks for the making of dolls and doll clothes as well as material kits and supply for doll making.
There are seven doll making eBooks available at the moment. They are for the dolls Mitzi, Baby Twink, Pip and Kulla, for the knitted doll Letti as well as for the felted head doll Charlie Bo plus the collection From Tip To Toe about the creation of lovely little details and special features. Your self-made dolls can be dressed up with two eBooks for creating clothes for older doll children and baby dolls.
Here you will find lots of pictures of Mariengold dolls that might encourage you to make a doll yourself.
