Larry the bunny

Well here he is, finally "done". Not sure if I'll add a nose or mouth :3 I kinda like how weird he looks. He looks creepy. *lol*







Actually the reason Larry looks so-not-finished is because I want to start making another type of doll - the one on the sketch. *heh* The scanner in me is acting up again. （￣◇￣)ゞ

I plan to make a collection of dolls out of my "Larry" prototype. I need to work on it more though. I think I should start on the face first. The face makes or break a doll (in my opinion) and I haven't found a signature look for my doll. I was practicing Konata eyes but my embroidery skills are really horrible! I need to practice more.

Pretty things: Evangelione

These are the works of Mei Ying from Malaysia. She makes miniatures and tiny fabric dolls. Look how tiny these are. And I shamelessly complain when I start sewing hands & feet of my own doll?! I need practice. Yes!

My first handmade dolls

I don't think I'll ever outgrow my love for dolls. *laughs* Lately, I'm keeping a picture folder on my hard drive specifically for handmade dolls. It's amazing how these doll makers are able to bring to life little creatures from their imagination. It's not just knowing how to make a doll but also having an original look & design.

Pretty things: Ann Wood

These are works by Ann Wood. Aren't they absolutely magical?! Gah I want those owls and that ship!!! (I'm imagining owl-hobbits & Peter Pan) (｡◕‿‿◕｡)ﾉシ

I've been following her blog for a while now. I love seeing her work, its amazing what she can do with vintage fabric. Follow her blog too and be inspired~

Pullip Steampunk series

I have been an avid follower of doll trends for 2-3 years now. There's the expensive BJD's, the middle range Blythe, slightly affordable Pullip, Nendoroid & Pinky Street. Seeing as I don't have incredible mounds of gold lying in an underground cave somewhere, I can only afford to maintain a Pullip obsession. (¬▂¬)

My current obsession is this particular Pullip series; Steampunk themed! Of course there are other beautifully styled dolls out there, but these remind me of Sherlock Holmes, Golden Compass and Series of Unfortunate Events. The clothes and accessories are well worth their price.

I can practice sewing too by making doll clothes and accessories. (^ω^)☆
