Dziabalki
Handmade art dolls inspired by fairy tales, Slavic mythology and dark fantasy.
About Atelier
In the beginning there were... rabbits. They began to emerge from wool, feathers, velvet, from little sorrows and joys. More and more of them kept appearing, which, in the case of rabbits, is not at all unusual.
However, things got complicated when relatives (sometimes very distant ones) and acquaintances of the rabbits began arriving from all directions. The shelves where the rabbits lived started getting crowded, so I decided to look for new homes for them, where they could live in peace. Especially since word had reached me from friendly Fairy Tales that Strangers were slowly approaching the Land of Rabbits.
Many representatives of the rabbit clan (among them princes, courtiers, magicians, circus performers, and kings) have found their place and now delight their new owners with their presence.
Slavic Mythology
These creations are inspired by old Slavic beliefs – spirits, demons, and presences once thought to inhabit homes, forests, and the unseen spaces in between.
Dark Fantasy
Quiet, symbolic figures filled emotions, tension, and things left unsaid.
Grotesque
These characters exist on the edge of strangeness – slightly exaggerated, subtly uncanny, yet touched with a hint of dark humor.
Customer reviews
“Ewa, My family bought your doll for my 75th Birthday. It is wonderful as I have been collecting rabbits/hares (not bunnies) for many years and in mane forms (pottery, crystal, metal, to name a few). His uniqueness and compusition will make him the star of my collection.”
“Great job! At first, I thought it was almost impossible that a shop selling such obviously high-quality and unique figures wouldn't have any sales or reviews yet. I ordered anyway, and I haven’t regretted it for a single second! As a fan of Slavic folklore characters (not least because of my love for The Witcher saga), I’m getting my money’s worth. Above all, everyone really should know about Baba Yaga—this ancient spirit of nature, who is, on the one hand, a wise and powerful old woman who is helpful and generous, and on the other hand, the sinister witch that the rise of Christianity ultimately turned her into. A wonderful character. I’d also love to see the little house on chicken legs 😉”
“Such a lovingly crafted figure, with such beautiful details and so much soul. I can picture her walking through the woods at dawn, leaning on her staff and following old songs that we in our machine-driven world can no longer even hear. Beautiful 🌫️🍄🧚🏻♀️🎶🍃”
“Another expressive doll, crafted with great finesse and mastery. I’ve even encountered the Plague Maiden before in the game *The Witcher*. I think this version of Ewa is simply wonderful. I’m really looking forward to seeing what other legendary figures from the mists of time and the realms of legend will come to Ewa and let her sculpt them. Great work✨”
