The pinks


I had too much black and white lately,
I like to make them in black and white because it let me to concentrate
in the shape and identity of the dolls without being bothering with colors.
Well I will be back to use more colors for my dolls soon.
Meanwhile the pink family required its attention too.

The crochet poet


I finished this crochet man yesterday.
At the beginning of making them when I create the basic shape I am enjoying.It does not required too much concentration and I can do that during watching inspiring soap operas at TV.

when I have to make the details of his garments I become stress, as if had to wear this clothes by myself to very important occasion.
The design that I choose to the garments lead me to understand better the personality.


The most difficult part is embroidery the face.
Sometimes I can unpick it and embroider it two or three time till I fill satisfy.
This time I was lucky to unpick his eyes only once.

the first pair of slippers


I was making few experiments to make handmade shoes. When I designed the dolls shoes, I had to scaled it down and to translate it into pattern form and materials that will suite to the dolls legs and style.
I designed for them the shoes I always wish to. I had some thought to make shoes like that in a human sizes, but I thought it's a bit silly, to turn them up and make them fit and comfortable to human legs.
when Christine request to make her a shoes like the dolls have, it was a good opportunity to examine that. I wrote here before about all the firsts experiments I made.
Last week I finished the firsts models for a slippers, That I like, and feel ready to offer them at my store.

A walk with my crafty shoes


My shoes were ready to a walk. I made the soles from cork and foamed plastic sheets, which I glued with contact cement and sew with the sewing machine. It became tough enough for walking outside, and flexible enough to sew and turn over.
I embroidered the black characters, cause I feel that something is missing.
I use the shadow of the cloth dogs in a scaled down and 2d that I draw and cut out from the black cotton fabric.
