Hawaii & the Sea

…is the new theme for my upcoming market night in March on my facebook page…here’s one, My first Mermaid

Ocean – 16 inch
* $65 + postage
* Ocean’s hair has been lovingly sewing into place each strand at a time! The yarn is cotton and is multi colored varying from white to pale yellow, pale pink and baby blue. The flower clip in Ocean’s hair is removable
* Her face is handpainted: eyes features 2 navy teardrops at the two corners of her eyes and sparkely eye liner. Her eye brows have been machine embroidered with bright silver thread…
* Body fabric is are made of an out of print designer fabric and fin is thick and soft, quilting with silver thread
* Ocean is a gorgeous mermaid looking for a home ashore…

Also, I’ve given Irina a little makeover :

Irina – 15 inch
* 80$ (€60) + shipping
* her hair (long hence quite heavy) is two tone and so long I had to put it up so it is permanently styled.
*her face has been lovingly handpainted and eyelashes have been applied.
*her skirt is made on a pettiskirt pattern and has two layers that makes it full and lovely (skirt and shoes are removable). Both her top and skirt are sparkly
… * The skin fabric has been home dyed and can show signs of dye which gives her a fab vintage look
* Due to all these details, Irina is not intended for babies and young children. Irina’s happy to pose and look pretty :)
She’s ready to dance the night away!

My Doll making journey has well and truly begun

Hi all, it’s been a while since I updated the blog to what I’m ‘really’ doing with my time lately…Doll making.

I got into it a little bit by chance, being a crafty person naturally curious about anything to do with sewing I purchase my first teddy bear pattern. I liked it but sewing furry fabric being a bit tedious and given that there’s a limit to customising options…I got my first ballerina stuffed doll pattern from www.dollsanddaydreams.etsy.com. And moved on from there really…

Now, I paint, sew, stuff, sew clothes and love it!! the sky’s the limit. Getting better with experience too, It’s a journey that I’ve undertaken and that I can’t see myself stopping anytime soon lol.

I started with felt hair dolls based on Wee bit of whimsy patterns (available here )….

Gretel - a-not-so-school-girl cloth doll ooak

And then I thought I’d love my dolls to have ‘real’ hair…
