Her dress is from the nightgown pattern, and her pinafore is altered from a Magic Cabin dolls pattern.

 

Featherstitching around the hem and neckline of the pinafore.

 

Here you can see her pretty hair clips

slowly but surely.

I have just bought dynamic doll stands and had a great time playing with it! I'm going to be focusing on dolls from my collection on this account, so if you wish to see more Margaret please make sure to follow my dollmaking account Do Dolls Dream

There is a special kind of light that appears around young artists.

Natalia and Victoria — students of the “RaiSon” doll-making studio — stood at the exhibition with such calm inspiration that the moment felt almost suspended.

This photograph was born gently, in the quiet pulse of their creativity.

New posh body is coming)

We went to the Bay Area last weekend for a little mini vacation, and I made this dolly as a gift to our host and good friend, Becky of Blastmilk. I'll post more pics from our trip soon, but I've been keeping this doll secret for a while and just had to post them. I had a lot of fun making her!

 

She's got home made glasses and shoes, too.

 

check her out in becky's pics (and her husband's super-incredible pose-kappa creations, one of which I am the lucky recipient of.. pics soon)

At the Raison doll-making studio exhibition, I met Natalia — a remarkably warm and talented young artist.

Her dolls have a quiet expressiveness, crafted with patience and a careful hand.

The Raison studio itself is a place where creativity grows gently, surrounded by kindness and attention.

Wonderful wooden Nutcracker style figures standing over 6' high.

Nutcrackers in the form of wooden carvings of a soldier, knight, king, or other profession have existed since at least the 15th century. These nutcrackers portray a person with a large mouth which the operator opens by lifting a lever in the back of the figurine. Originally one could insert a nut in the big-toothed mouth, press down and thereby crack the nut. Modern nutcrackers in this style serve mostly for decoration, mainly at Christmas time, a season of which they have long been a traditional symbol.The ballet The Nutcracker derives its name from this festive holiday decoration. The original nutcrackers were first seen in Germany and were thought to have guardian-like properties because of their strong appearance.

 

The carving of nutcrackers—as well as of religious figures and of cribs—developed as a cottage industry in forested rural areas of Germany. The most famous nutcracker carvings come from Sonneberg in Thuringia (also a center of dollmaking) and from the Ore Mountains. Wood-carving usually provided the only income for the people living there. (Wikepedia)

I've been working on a muscular lady in sculptris and blender, and her print arrived yesterday! I am so in love with her massive size, it's more perfect than I dared hope for < 3

 

here she's shown with dollstown 15yr boy hands. I stuck her ankles directly into boots so I could photograph her balancing on her own, so in this picture you see her height without feet. Imagine a couple more cm's for those ; )

Breaking in the new configuration of the craft room furniture, Paul and I worked on making more doll bodies after learning a few things from the first girl.

 

We modified our materials a bit, and these girls stand on their own!

Sweet little dress and kerchief

Thats how mine will look like :) maybe with a white wig

This is my first grittyjane doll I have made in her amazing workshop!! I am really happy with what I´ve learned! :D She´s made out of clay and cloth!

It's taking me longer to prime this munchkin than I had originally hoped, because of some issues I've had with primers... I started off using a previously unopened can of Vallejo that I must have had since 2013, which was just fine. When it ran low, I went online to buy more, only to find that there didn't seem to be a single can in stock anywhere in the UK! In the end, I opted to buy some via Amazon, to be shipped from Italy. It arrived quickly and all seemed well - it sprayed on nicely and all. However, when I set about sanding it (I use wet sandpaper), the colour of the primer started to take on a green tinge?! I can't work out if Vallejo have changed the formula, or whether the can I bought may have been adversely affected somehow? - By heat, or something, perhaps?! I've since ordered another can, this time from Poland, but it hasn't arrived yet >_< I'm also going to pick up some Tamiya primer this week as well, just in case. I haven't worked with Tamiya before, only because its toxicity scares me... so I've also ordered what I hope is a reliable respirator!! Gah, I really want to just get her done and away!!!

There are people whose hands carry a quiet, gentle light — Victoria is one of them.

She created this doll herself, and you can feel her attention in every detail.

I photographed this moment at the exhibition of the “RaIsOn” doll-making studio.
