Pushkin's girl-friend

my new doll.

Nadia

Recently all 3 of us visited Canada to renew our US visas. But it appeared that we had to wait for our visas for some time. So a 3 weeks trip turned into a 2 months wait. The problem was it was not told 'wait two months', it was told 'you should wait... for how long? we have no idea.'


So i found myself slowly falling into depression because of this virtually infinite wait. And decided to do something. Anything. Why not a doll.


Who cares you don't have your tools, materials, paints... And the only thing you took with you is a cross-stitch kit.


I went to Michaels and bought a pack of paperclay, a brush. And... nothing else.


Then took my son's old T-shirt, manicure scissors... And started creating.


Now Nadia is ready: paperclay head, arms and legs, moving joints, cloth embroidered body.


The body is dyed with tea. Face is painted with tea. Hair is from embroidery strand from that cross-stitch kit.

Her name in russian means 'hope'.


So here is she. A child of exile. A cure for the depression. A hope to get home.

Princess

My husband called her "poor girl" .
But she's Princess!!!

Suitcase mood

She has appeared by herself.
She has decided everything for herself.
This is not an angel, this is a mood.
The Suitcase mood.









Her body is soft.
She can take different poses.

I love her :)))

Hamlet

While i was making 2 fairy dolls i suddenly understood that i'm tired of their silkly-sweetness.
And all of a sudden this guy has appeared.
While he was being created he did not want to become heartless not for a single moment. And since that time he's guarding his heart. That's the way he is.












Fairies??? They're never been finished...

Mataro Kimekomi doll

However the way you should make your doll at a course is boring you must buy a kit (which is expensive) containing pre-done body, some cloth and a finished head.
The only thing you can do glue the cloth to the body evenly and put the head on when you're done.
You got your doll? Yes!
BUT you missed something more important, the creation of a unique person with he character and style.
