As many of you may have read on my testimonials page, I once dreamed of Ryan — the beautiful boy from The Swan’s Journey scene. That dream was so vivid and inspiring that I have been working tirelessly to sculpt his face in his older age for the final chapter of the series, The Swan’s Journey III. For the past week, I have devoted myself to bringing his adult features to life, sculpting around ten different faces in the process. The truth is, I have not yet been able to capture the exact facial details and marks I envisioned from my dream. I truly believed the concept was worth it, and I still do — it’s a wow idea. However, I have decided to take a step back and postpone the release of The Swan’s Journey III for a while. Sometimes, the best progress comes when you allow yourself to take a break, refresh your mind, and return with renewed clarity and energy. I’m sorry to share this, but I promise that I will return to the project with even more passion. I am confident that, when the time is right, I will sculpt Ryan’s face with the same beauty and detail that I imagined — and I also plan to sculpt his girlfriend, Delia, as they grow older. The final idea will be truly impressive, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Yesterday, I dreamed about Ryan. Do you remember him? Yes — the beautiful boy from “The Swan’s Journey” scene. In my dream, I saw Ryan returning the swan’s favor, and it felt as real as witnessing the very last chapter of this scene unfold. WOW! What a beautiful ending I dreamed! I immediately sat down with the Marseem family to share my dream. They were deeply moved by the lovely scene I had dreamt, and after a discussion, we decided to bring this ending — the final chapter of “The Swan’s Journey” — to life. I’m beyond excited to start working on the conclusion of this story. So, once I finalize “Winter’s Last Whisper,” I’ll dive straight into “The Swan’s Journey III.”

After many conversations, I’m happy to share that my mother will soon be joining the Marseem family to lovingly handle and manage the Marseem Museum. My mother has always been close to the soul of Marseem — she understands the stories, the rhythm, and the respect each doll carries. From museum-related questions to special requests or support, she will be the person ensuring everything is handled with care and intention. Knowing the museum is in her hands gives me peace, and I believe it brings Marseem even closer to what it has always meant to be: personal, thoughtful, and human.”

Something magical happened while I was sculpting Santa’s face.
I was carefully reshaping the details, when I suddenly noticed… something I hadn’t planned. Santa’s face wasn’t showing just one emotion. Sometimes he looked joyful, with a gentle, warm smile. Other times, there was a quiet sadness in his eyes, as if he were holding a secret you couldn’t quite grasp. It was impossible to tell which feeling would appear next — like the Mona Lisa, his expression seemed to shift with every glance. I had stumbled upon something unexpected, and it made me stop and smile. That moment became the heart of Winter’s Last Whisper.

Lately, I’ve been reworking Santa’s face for The Lovely Dream scene. I realized that his expression lacked the deep, joyful emotion I wanted to convey, so I’ve decided to resculpt it to show him talking and radiating happiness. This process is both new and challenging for me — a fresh stage in my artistic journey — but I wanted to push myself and test my skills in facial sculpting. Once the resculpting is complete, you’ll be able to see the difference in Santa’s expression and notice the contrast between before and after. I hope the new emotion will come through successfully. After finishing Santa’s face, I’ll write a detailed blog sharing the challenges I faced and the new experiences I gained while bringing his joyful expression to life.

After keeping you waiting, I’m finally back in the shop! My holiday at my grandparents’ place was amazing — full of laughs, lemon tea from grandma, and way too many beers from grandpa 🍺😂.Now! You can play my puzzle, spin my grandpa’s lucky wheel, and try your luck on the slot machine. One lucky spin could win you a special money voucher. Feeling lucky? 🍀 Just don’t forget to log in before you play. With mischief and smiles, The Joker 😈

After spending time resculpting Santa’s face for The Lovely Dream scene, Maria shared her wish to revisit and refresh the concept of this piece. This creative process opened the door to new inspiration, encouraging me to look at the scene from a fresh perspective. After discussing this with Leonard, I decided to start a collaborative brainstorming process with the rest of the Marseem family. Together, we will explore new ideas and thoughtful details that I hope will better express the emotion, magic, and artistry at the heart of this scene. You’ll be informed as the scene evolves, hopefully the new interpretation will delight you and resonate with your artistic taste.

Today, I was tasked with creating a new story to replace the current “The Lovely Dream” scene. This is part of implementing a fresh vision and concept for the scene, so the new story will be entirely different from what is currently in place. Its goal is to align fully with the updated concept and convey the core ideas in a clear and compelling way.
