When Michael Jackson died, I was so very upset and sad, I felt I just had to do something to remember and honor him.
I always loved to sew and do needlework and when I saw a Michael Jackson Doll with a Smooth Criminal suit on the internet I decided to try and make one for myself.

Then one of my daughters asked me to make the golden fencing outfit from the Dangerous Tour and that was the start of many many more.
At this moment my collection holds over 100 dolls.

I spend a lot of time searching for the right material, because in honor of Michael Jackson, I want the outfits to be as close to the original as possible.
Some only need a few hours to make, others take weeks, like the jacket Michael Jackson wore while performing the song 'What more can I give'.
The jacket is covered in thousends of stones, and they are put on one by one.
I made many outfits, from the early years when Michael was part of the Jacksons or Jackson 5, until the outfits that were meant for 'This is It'.
In time more dolls will be added because I am always busy making new ones.

The dolls I use are originally sold in 1995, they were dressed with the outfit Michael Jackson wore in the 'Black or White' video. They came in a silent and singing version.
As you can see, all my dolls have restiled / rerooted hair and repainted faces so that they match to how Michael Jackson looked when he wore that specific outfit. I cannot do this myself, so I am very thankful that my dear friend Elke Diehm makes them for me.Without these beautiful heads, the dolls wouldn't be half as nice! We share our love for Michael Jackson and are very thankful he brought us together.

On the page 'videos' you can find a video made by a friend whichs shows how I make the outfits and what kind of material I use. There are also videos of rotating dolls.
On the page events you will find some fotos of events we took part in and people we met. 
We met Michael Bush at the exhibition in the Getty Gallery in London in 2012. 
And we met Jermain Jackson at the Ultimite Chart Show in Germany in 2014, the dolls played a part in this show.
We exhibited our dolls several times at Kingvention in London where we met very interesting people who worked with Michael Jackson.

I hope you enjoy the dolls and if you have questions or remarks, you can send an email to: info@michaeljackson-dolls.com

Please note that I do not sell the dolls.

Thank you for watching!
