Latest Dolls Addition...


JaJa (~32cm)
When making Jaja, I didn't have any clear idea how it might turned out. Gave Jaja some long fringe and a removable coat. So I suppose everything work out somehow.

Blu (~30cm)
Using different shades of blue, thus named Blu... was born... He too has a removable vest and a small face.

More more dolls...

Witty (~33cm)
Witty was 'born' after I decided to combine the different textures and coloured fabrics, and to make the headdress slightly different from the way I've made the rest of the dolls.

Dot (~30cm)
Making Dot was easy and yet hard at the same time as the fabric ain't anything but soft. So it took me awhile to figure out how to overcome some of the sewing difficulties before I finally complete it.

Genni (~25cm)
Genni is the smallest of all so far. She also have the most gentle look I think. Perhaps I should make some toys for her to play with...

More Dolls...


Squaty (~27cm)


Ginger (~29cm)
After completing Tally and Long, I went on to try making slightly smaller dolls. So here's Ginger and Squaty. Making the hats were the biggest challenge, and sewing such small dolls were much trickier than it looks...

Hand-crafted Dolls


Long (~39cm)


Tally (~38cm)

My first hand-crafted dolls, Tally and Long.
Each of them have their very own characteristic/ personality. Other than giving them names, I do not wish to dictate clearly each of their character, but rather leave it to imagination whilst giving them just enough personality. They are individually hand-crafted from their body parts to their costumes. The body parts are individually paper-mache and then joined together, thus I still make use of my desire to recycle, yet at the same time allow life-like movable joints. As the dolls are pretty small, each of the costumes, from their hat to shoes have to be hand-sewn.
