Little Red Riding Hood is my first miniature doll from the series of characters from the well known fairy tales (more of them is coming!).
It’s made of wood and felt, the arms and legs are fully moveable. It’s 35mm high (without the hood). The cloak is removable.
…Ballet dancer no.2.
Second miniature ballerina. While making them I had a few more ideas, so I might create a series. Who knows, maybe even a miniature Swan Lake? XD
Just like the previous one, the doll is fully made of wood, with needle felted hair and the dress made of lace ribbon. The doll is 3cm high ( and requires a stand, which means I have to think of something…).
Welcome back, log time no see!
Lately I made two miniature ballet dancer dolls. Both fully made of wood, with needle felted hair, 3cm high. The dresses are made of lace ribbons.
So, there it is, ballet dancer no. 1…
One of my first miniature dolls: a witch!
I have a strange fondness for witches and sorcerers, so I simply had to make one as a doll (the sorcerer is coming soon as well…)!
Doll is made of wood, arms and legs are fully movable. Dress is needle felted with a lace ribbon. I’ve been struggling with finding a fabric thin enough that would be good for sewing such a tiny dress, everything seems too stiff! The search still continues…
The little broom is made of felt and a stick is from the real broom. While making this one, I also made a few other brooms, just different sizes, they’re coming soon as well 😉
A miniature leather finished box with a strap, inspired by Harry Potter’ stories.
Box includes a miniature scroll with a real wax seal, a real miniature candle, Harry Potter-type glasses (or John Lennon’ type, perhaps…?), bottle with a magic potion, a goblet, a key, a phoenix’es golden feather, a Golden Snitch and a magic wand with a crystal.
Each piece is handmade.
My very first walnut fairy house!
A bit of experimentation with all sorts of materials and tools… Not as easy as it seems!
As far as the idea in my head looked OK, the fabrics wouldn’t cooperate, lots of mishaps and hissy fits with stuff flying around 😛
But in the end I managed!! 😀
To be honest, this was simply an experiment to check how the materials would work together, how it would look like after appalling glue and how much I’d need it, etc. Truth be told, there’s a lot to improve, but it gave me some confidence with the materials and a few ideas for the future projects!
