Doll Hospital
From time to time - accidents happen, dolls are dropped, kittens and puppies chew their feet, hooks snap, resin chips, legs break, heads fall off and things sometimes just go wrong!!
Wish-Art is opening their doors to your dolls for all their "health care" requirements. We have the latest in equipment and materials to repair breaks, replace wigs, soft bodies and stuffing, make subtractive or additive modifications or repair damage paint work on all makes and models of dolls.
Adi Wishart is becoming recognised as a skilled repairer of dolls in all materials from composition to hard plastics to vinyl, resins, wax and porcelain. And from all eras from fragile antiques to a little girls most favourite cabbage patch doll.
Adi is also able to diagnose Hard Plastics Disease - also called Pedigree's Disease in Plastic dolls. Whilst there is currently no-cure and no prevention known for this condition early detection can prevent the heartbreak of contaminating an entire collection.
