When do little boys cry. . .

Reading Bambi. . . . . .

I wanted to make another doll, a girl doll, but since I haven't made a doll this size in a while I didn't notice I was out of joints.

Ordered them.

While I'm waiting for the joints I can start with an Eagle Owl then, mmmmm out of big eyes.

Ordered them.

Oh yes, it's Monday. . . . . . .

p.s. The boy is in my Etsy shop in a couple of hours :-)

Back to the beginning. . . .

I started making dolls in 2009, these are the first dolls I made.

I tried to put the pics in a chronological order but it won't let me do it :-(

The first two dolls are the first dolls I made and the rest is completely random.

Maybe you can guess if there's progress ?

This was just a selection from the collection and I'm working on this very sad boy now :

Well, I thought you would like to see some of the children I've made :-)
Helen XXX  p.s. I have no idea why the pics are not in a nice row :-(

Pinocchio

Dolls . .. . . .

I had to put my little Sloth twins aside, there was something about them , I don't know what, so they are now cosy together in a little box, patiently waiting until I know what it is.

Last Saturday I began making an owl but he is also in a box. . . . 

I'm in a slump !?!

Mmmm, Sunday I visited my mother, she has just moved house and she was in desperate need for help.

My mother has some beautiful antique dolls,lots of bears and two dolls I made when I was 18 years old.

They are made of Fimo and although the colour has darkened they are still in good shape.

I had been making a doll as a present for someone the last week and I realized I missed making dolls.

The doll I made last week was inspired by this picture :

 Geppetto carving Pinocchio, he only had his head done and Pinocchio started already making fun of him.

I love this pic ! 

I first made him of wool felt but I couldn't get the details right and decided to make him of cotton fabric. 

So this is the Pinocchio so far, his face is a bit naughty and I have to adjust a little something here and there but I'm pleased.

The lower half of his body is going to be painted as a tree log.
I sooo enjoyed this !
