The artist Sissels Bjorstad Skille has been a school teacher before she combined her passion for children and for sculpting.
Grown up in Norway, she loved drawing and sculpting and was very fond of dolls.
She has sculpted for the Götz company since 1998.
I do not know for sure, when the Happy Kidz doll collection with the face mold designed by Sissel Skille was introduced first. I was able to find some pictures of these very nice dolls on pinterest.
In the year 2007 a collection called " ZAUBERWELT" has been released; with a
1. Princess (fair hair with bangs, blue eyes, a
2. Mermaid (red hair) and a
3. Winterdoll (brown hair, blue eyes).
In 2008 another collection of three more Happy Kidz with this face has been released:
A doll called
1. Winter Dream (fair hair with bangs, blue eyes) one called
2. Matroschka (fair hair with bangs, blue eyes) and one called
3. Ice-Skating (brown hair, blue eyes).
In 2009 :
1. Anna (fair hair without bangs, blue eyes),
2. Sophie (red hair with bangs, brown eyes) and
3. Clara (brown hair with bangs and brown eyes).
In 2010 a collection of three dolls with wellington-boots:
1. Anna (fair hair with bangs, blue eyes),
2. Clara (brown hair without bangs and brown eyes) and
3. Sophie (red hair without bangs and brown eyes)
More of these playdolls, where special editions and some were released only in the USA.
There were no more Happy kidz dolls with the Sissel Skille face mold and the "Hannah body" released in the following years.

Only one of of them wears her original clothes, the Princess released in 2007.
My Princess - Collection "Zauberwelt" 2007
These are my triplets - Princess, she was called Bella, when I bought her.
I knitted some clothes for them
Anna 2010
Another one of my triplets is Anna, released in the year 2010 - Anna with bangs.
Here she is wearing a dark pink dress:
And wearing a Kidz'n'Cats yellow dress - in my opinion this fits her very good:
The third of my triplets I bought in the USA without original outfit. It could be Steffi, so I called her Steffi. Steffi has been released in the year 2010 - not in Germany! In the first picture you can see the original Steffi.

But soon there came a parcel from France for Steffi. Steffi is very proud, showing her present.
And in the parcel was a very beautiful dress, made from Nathalie in France.
