Artist Tomamota + Ultra Chic Porcelain Slip = Stunning Dolls

Hello, everyone!

I'm so happy to see you here, and thank you for stopping by.

Many of you already know that in addition to creating porcelain dolls, I have recently started producing Ultra Chic Porcelain Slip. It’s an exciting and truly magical process. I use this slip in my own work and am absolutely thrilled with the results.

Over time, I’ve begun to connect with customers who regularly purchase my slip. These are artists, craftspeople, and incredibly talented individuals—each with their own unique story, lifestyle, and artistic vision. Their art is like no one else’s… and yet, there is one thing that unites them all: they choose to work with Ultra Chic Slip.

I’ve been absolutely amazed by the beauty and originality of their creations. Their work has deeply inspired me, and I felt compelled to share their enchanting art with you. I also want to take this opportunity to introduce you to these talented artists whose hands turn clay into magic.

So without further ado, meet our first featured artist! She’ll tell you a little bit about herself, what she creates, and why she enjoys working with my Ultra Chic porcelain slip.

The Porcelain I Fell in Love With

My name is Tamara Bogdanova, though in the dollmaking community I'm better known as Tomamota. I started my journey creating dolls from a variety of materials, but it was porcelain that truly captured my heart.

For the past 12 years, I’ve been working exclusively with porcelain, and I can say with full confidence: it is the perfect material for me. Porcelain combines refinement and lightness like no other. Its surface is smooth and flawless, and its soft, lustrous glow is simply captivating.

Yet, working with porcelain is far from easy. It’s a temperamental material—demanding patience, endurance, and a deep understanding of its nature. Finding the right porcelain wasn’t a quick process. It took me two, maybe even three years of trial and error to discover the one that suited me best. But once I did, everything changed. For the last nine years, I have worked exclusively with Ultra Chic porcelain, and I have never looked back. Here's why this porcelain remains my material of choice:

It handles beautifully. It glides under your tools and responds to the brush with fluid elegance. The surface is easy to refine, allowing for a high level of control and precision.

Dry sanding is a dream. The texture is pleasant to the touch, and the sanding process is clean and efficient.

The firing results are consistently stunning. Ultra Chic produces a flawless surface—no bubbles, no black specks. What remains is a radiant, pearl-like finish that I adore.

Paint adhesion is excellent. Despite its smoothness, this porcelain holds paint beautifully. The bonding is strong, and the colors appear vivid and precise—something I can attest to through years of hands-on experience.

For me, porcelain is more than a material—it’s a medium that reflects soul, patience, and craftsmanship. And Ultra Chic has become the silent partner in every one of my creations.

I wish everyone happiness, health, and love — and make sure to use only this Ultra Chic Porcelain Slip! Yours Tomamota
