So, he is the first! My first experience in soft textile sculpting and my really first drawing. Really! I failed drawing class at school. But, I always had the passion to do this. So, the first step is done!
Roy has a lasso and a hat, just like any proper cowboy should. And what kind of cowboy would he be if he wasn’t tempted by a shot of scotch?
Chocolate – last one from my Spice Girls collection. To be continued! Promise!
Circle print on this chocolate colour fabric make he look like an Aero Chocolate. To enhance her fluffiness I decided to make a tulle petticoat . Truffle like sleeves were a surprise for me. When I started with them I had no idea of the final result .
Cake- It was fun making it. I’m going to order felt and make a whole bakery of cakes, they look real from afar!
When asked which image she represents, my husband replied- Donut! Haha, apparently the circle print confused him! In his defence, she didn’t have a cake when he first saw her. Enjoy!

Continuing with the Spice Girls streak. Today is Orange!
As you can see I found good use for the orange print fabric. And I had the perfect buttons to match. Time to dry the oranges – 6 hours in the oven on 200F. The house smelled fantastic the whole day! Put everything together – and voila – Orange spice Girl!
Alas, I'm back! I can't seem to keep up with the blog consistently, this always happens to me! After extensive posts, I go into a dry spell and just create. That, plus Angelina took up another job so I struggle with the translating aspect of this. But more about that later. There will be a separate post with some announcements and surprises.
So the reason for today's post is the give away organized by Katerina Lukashchuk. I just finished up with this doll, the weather is awful so the pictures aren't of the highest quality, but there is no time to wait!
The rule of the give away was to make something inspired by one of Katerina’s drawings. And since I've been wanting to create a doll based on her work for some time now, this was a great coincidence. And so this is my Kate! You'll be the judge of the similarity with the original picture.
Little bit of technical aspects. Dress is reversible, buttons on the shoulders. A big problem was putting it on, her head is to big! And after my 6th attempt I finally have a perfectly fitted dress. I’ll share the pattern later. And my biggest challenge – the hair! I finally learned how to properly attach it and made the ideal top of the head. Fingers are bendable. She can easily hold a rope.
Итак, я вернулась. Вот так всегда, не могу постоянно вести блог. После обильных постов, наступает затишье, когда я только творю. Ну и еще Ангелина стала работать на двух работах, соответственно английская часть тормозит. Ну об этом потом. Будет отдельных пост с новостями, обновлениями и сюрпризами.
А причиной моего сегодняшнего появления является участие в конфетке от Екатерины Лукащук. Вот только что закончила эту куколку. Погода жуткая, фото не очень. Но времени ждать нет.
Условие участия в конфетке — сделать что-то по мотивам Катиных картин. А так как я уже давно хотела сшить куклу по ее картине, то это, можно сказать, удачное стечение обстоятельств.
Вот она, моя Катя! О схожести с оригиналом судить вам!
Немного технических деталей – платье двухстороннее. Застегевается на пуговицах на плечиках. Была проблема – как одеть платье? Голова то большая. Вот с шестой попытки у меня вышло такое платьице. Выкройкой поделюсь попозже. И моя самая большая трудность – волосы. Наконецто я научилась их пришивать и делать аккуратную макушку. В пальчики вставлена проволока, так что они гнутся. Можно лекго держать веревочку.
