In this post, designers and makers from Bulgaria share their voice on the art and craft of creating adult dolls. The conversations reveal a blend of technical training, sculpture, and product development. Many makers start with traditional sculpture techniques, then move into digital modeling to test proportions before casting. Materials are a central topic: silicone offers lifelike texture and warmth, while thermoplastic elastomer can be more forgiving in production and repair. The inner skeleton, or framework, is discussed as the engine of poseability—balanced joints, hinge points, and weight distribution that support natural standing and seated poses without sacrificing durability. Proportion and realism are treated with care: designers talk about sculpting facial features, hand anatomy, and body contours to reflect plausible anatomy while respecting artistic stylization. The interviews also touch on safety, hygiene, and maintenance, emphasizing easy cleaning, stain resistance, and long-term skin stability. Ethical considerations surface too—fair labor practices, safe working conditions, and the responsibility to provide accurate product information to customers. Across voices, a shared ethos emerges: good design is not only about appearance, but about usability, longevity, and respect for the craft. The human dimension of the design process—sketching ideas, testing prototypes, and refining seams—pins these conversations to a practical, creative core that underpins every doll produced.
