Boy Oh Boy

Just a quick post to show you the finished boy Russians from last week. The simpler dolls nestle inside the pocket of the bigger doll.

Busy busy busy...

Phew this week is going to be crazily busy! Big Wild and Beautiful order, over 50 new vintage pieces to photograph and list in Violeta Vintage as well as the big Easter market coming up...here are a few pics of the mess I was making yesterday trying to get a set of 13 new dolls/plushys made. I will post the finished dolls later...

With love from Russia...

Here are the finished Russian dolls. This week, keeping on the Russian Doll theme, I'm going to make the set of bigger dolls as well as a set of boy Russian Dolls...Obsession, me?

and some more Russian doll making...

Well, its taken me a lot longer than anticipated to finish a set of 10 Russian Dolls with ten baby Russian dolls nestling in the front pocket of the bigger doll. I have market tomorrow so I will be able to see what people think! The pricing though is always difficult, I was thinking maybe 22 Euros, What do you think? I'll post photos of the finished dolls tomorrow night after market...unless I sell them all!

Russian Doll...

Today I began designing and making Russian Doll plushys/soft toys. Its good to be moving away from the monster theme at last! I love creating new products, problem solving and seeing my design from idea through to production. I bought a whole load of wonderful new fabrics from market today that I cant wait to use. The dolls are great to make because they use a lot of different fabrics and textures...lots of opportunity to play around! Today I designed four sizes, two pairs where the smaller doll nestles in th pocket of the bigger doll. I also like the idea of creating a Russian doll 'wrap' of ten little dolls. I also want to create a Russian boy doll aimed at little boys!
