Ericka is that her ability has been with her from her very beginning. The other amazing thing about Ericka is
that she is only 19 years old and will have a lifetime of creativity for us to
all enjoy.

About/From
Ericka
My name is Ericka Elizabeth, dba Ericka Elizabeth Originals. I am 19
years old and currently engaged to my boyfriend of almost five years, who is a
firefighter and an EMT for our local hospital. We are in the process of building
a house.
I have been sculpting my little
babies professionally for almost three years now. I sculpt realistic newborns
from 1/4" to newborn size. I also am starting to market a line of miniature
newborns and animals for miniature collectors. I begin college next term and
will be pursuing my business/marketing degree.
I have always loved art ever since I was born. My mom said that I was
even cutting paper with scissors when I was one. I used to sculpt little animals
out of fimo and I love to draw. From age 4 on, at the beach or in the snow, I
sculpted creatures - like a giant turtle in the sand and a snowman with a
sculpted bow! My parents knew I was destined to be a sculptor of some sort. I
even used a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and turned it into a porcupine with
pretzel quils!
I enjoy drawing portraits and I can draw a portrait with close to exact
likeness from a photograph. I have won many art contests and have had my
drawings displayed at art fairs. I also have loved to do pretty much any art
project and have taken a variety of art classes.
When I was older, My mom and I started collecting the realistic reborn
babies. One day I thought I could try to make one just like the one we were
thinking of buying, so I researched information about sculpting one of a kind
baby dolls.
In my search, I found a class to make older character dolls . I went to
the beginning seminar when I was 15 and then I was invited back to the
professionals seminar that next year. It was very cool to receive the invitation
because there were only 12 selected for this masters level course. That is where
I received my master doll artist license. As far as I know, I am still the
youngest in the nation to have this license.
I think I am very lucky to have already found a career that I love to do
and it is something that is so fun for me. I work hard to make my babies as
realistic as possible. At doll shows they have been mistaken for real babies. In
the winter, I had a preemie baby I was holding at a holiday bazaar and a woman
approached me and began to lecture me about the poor care I was giving my
premature newborn, only to discover it was a sculpture! I have always grown up
around little babies and children, so I think that is why it is fun for me to
sculpt them.
My next step is working with a
company to have my dolls reproduced out of vinyl. I would love to be able to do
that and have a single OOAK sculpt be available for many.
