Had a lovely time shooting a cute young lady in studio today. More images on the facebook page-- more to come I just edited a few.
Tiniest little thing
This little lovely is already adopted but more like her can be custom ordered. This is a 6 inch jointed toddler doll. Made her using the 12 inch Toddler Norah pattern printed at 50%.
I get all my doll making parts from Weir Crafts website except weighting glass which I have sourced on ebay mostly.
I did not use the fleece lining in this tiny Norah because she has no glass weight, Only wool stuffing so its not needed at all for her. I used 16mm joints for her arms and 20 for her legs and head but I ordered 12mm and will be doing 20 for head- 16 for lets and 12 for the arms from now on I think. Just seems more right on the sizing.
Her clothing is mostly upcycled. and yes those are TINY little LEATHER shoes that tie .. My own pattern for those and I did have to fully hand sew it.
I got the sweet little suitcase to make her bed in at Wood Crafter. It stained up fairy nice. I used a dark stain on it and just runned it in very well and wiped clean so it would dry fast.
Below I will attach images of the finished doll as well as a slideshow of some images from her creation process.
It's all in the WEFT
You heard me... hair wefts, 100% wool locks sewn into a weft that I then crochet into a wig. OMG at the gorgeousness of the hair, now these dolls cost a tad more ($40 more at starting price) that the ones with shorter mohair styles. because wefts cost a LOT. but its real brushable styleable hair. so beautiful. These two dolls were my weft practice so they are for my girls who were part of the process the whole way picking and choosing and being picky and choosey. But I simply will NOT sell a product until I try it and FULLY test it. its been texted--- the hair is fabulously loved by my girls, brushes out easy when they get it a bit wild and is sooo soft because it IS HAIR.. its not faux hair... not man made... its animal hair but its real.
OK this doll below is Korah's -- her name is Bow Cutie Pie Flowers.... yeah her naming of dolls is legit crazy at times. but look at those beautiful locks!!-- clothing all custom hand made of course.
Then we have Lillian. She's Kheagan's baby. Again ALL CUSTOM made clothing. Like her sister doll above her sweater is pure wool. Her shoes and her vest are real suede leather. The jeans are stretch denim but I totally made them all detailed with pockets and everything
If you are interested in a custom doll give me a shout :) there are some ready made beauties in the store now.
