Beacon's Glow Collectibles Announces Arrival of 2005 Essence Doll Collection From Jan McLean Designs of New Zealand

Jan McLean's 2005 Essence Doll Collection is in stock and ready for ordering at Beacon's Glow Collectibles.

December 9, 2004 -- Beacon's Glow Collectibles, an online gift and collectibles retail store specializing in dolls, bears & candles, announces the much anticipated arrival of the 2005 Essence Doll Collection from New Zealand doll artist Jan McLean.

Due to some unforeseen manufacturing glitches, the debut of the Essence Collection had been delayed since early summer. Avid fans of doll artist Jan McLean will welcome the news that their wait is finally over as these dolls are now available at Beacon's Glow Collectibles (http://www.beaconsglow.com/Subcat572.htm). Jan's new line of dolls is outstanding and diversified. As an example, Kathleen is a glamorous 22-inch tall porcelain doll dressed in a white Victorian cotton dress trimmed with lace (http://www.beaconsglow.com/Item2065x168.htm). A broad-rimmed straw hat embellished with striped ribbon and flowers completes her look. Another example from Jan's latest collection is Emma, an adorable 22-inch vinyl doll dressed in a child-like embroidered magenta silk organza dress, trimmed in orange ribbon and sequins (http://www.beaconsglow.com/Item2066x168.htm). Those are just two examples of what the 2005 Essence Collection has to offer.

The highest quality materials are used in all of Jan McLean's dolls, with no exceptions. Her dolls' eyes are all hand-crafted glass paperweight eyes, which are the accepted best in the doll industry. They are of a superior quality and have highly detailed lenses. In addition, these eyes will never fade or yellow, and will last for generations to come. Most of Jan's dolls have wigs made from human hair, which can be dyed and styled to Jan's exacting specifications. Jan personally paints every face on her limited Original dolls which includes each doll's eyebrows, lashes, and lips. Every doll's outfit is created and sewn on the premises of this Dunedin, New Zealand company. With all of this attention to detail, it is no wonder that each and every Jan McLean Designs doll is a work of art worthy of becoming an heirloom. Her 2005 Essence Doll Collection is definitely no exception!

In business since 1991, Jan's employs a team of eight involved in the process of doll making: a mold maker; cobblers; milliners; a beader; and a jeweler. Doll collectors visiting Dunedin, New Zealand, should not pass up the opportunity to take a tour of Jan's magical workshop. There is no doubt that Jan's dolls are widely sought after and still continue to receive many international awards.

Beacon's Glow Collectibles also carries many other Jan McLean Designs dolls (http://www.beaconsglow.com/Category168.htm), as well as several other popular brands of collectible dolls (Madame Alexander, Pauline Collectibles, Susan Wakeen, Precious Moments, Doll Maker by Linda Rick, and Ginny by Vogue Doll Company).
