Lots of cashmere applique on this lady. Almost all of the embellishments are bits cut from cashmere sweaters. The boucle fabric that her dress is made of was fabric from my Mom’s stash. I will be working through her fabrics for the rest of my life!
Here are a lot of detail shots of the butterflies-
And here she is, sitting with her friend who I will post tomorrow.
The lady with all the cats! She has dark purple hair but it is hard to see in the photos.
All the cats-
Little birds in a bush on this baby.
I am in nose-to-the-grindstone mode, getting ready for this first in-person show in a very long time. Hopefully that means lots of things getting posted but not much going into the etsy shop.
This one was a special request and has green eyes.
I think this baby has a lovely pensive face.
More cashmere applique.
And here are both of these sweet babies!
Cashmere butterflies and flowers- lots to love!
I will be doing 2 in-person shows this Fall in Massachusetts. I will be at The Paradise City Arts Festival in Northampton MA October 9 – 11. And then I am showing at the Paradise show in Marlboro, MA, November 19 -21. All the info about the shows is HERE. I’d love to meet you if you can make it. These will be the first shows in almost 2 years and I am excited!
If you decide to come to the show, here is a link to get discounted tickets.
Here is a photo from the last show I did- November 2019!
Often, when I am starting a new group of dolls, I go back to designs I have done previously to get inspired. I used this beautiful lady as an inspiration for this baby. I love how these colors work together.
The applique pieces (flowers and leaves) are all cashmere. So soft!
And here are 2 outside photos- doesn’t this baby look glorious next to the coleus!
Hi again! I’m back to work on dolls after taking time off to do other life projects. I did a lot of boring stuff but also worked on a quilt top.The top is mostly finished and I plan to do the quilting part after I finish my fall shows (October and November) or maybe after Christmas. Anyway, finally something finished to show you!
Well, that is enough Tiny Worlds for now. Here are the last 2 of this batch.
I am going to try to get all the Tiny Worlds into my Etsy shop in the next few days. After that, I will be taking some time off. Hope to see you back here, probably after Labor Day (sept 6). To start my time off, I went to the ICA yesterday to see the amazing show at the Watershed.
