Before & After: first edition #Malibu #Barbie 1971 with brushing baldness. Two choices: reroot the section or stitch the style - client wanted the doll unaltered, so this is an example of a stitched style restore where the hair is « stitched » in place like a hair clip through the existing scalp holes to cover the baldness but maintain #original unaltered state. #museum #dolldoctor #dollhospital #toyhospital #dollcollector #barbiehospital (at Guillotine Fibre Arts & Restoration) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce4ID5flzaX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Founded on our iconic #bowties , these wearable fibre art masterpieces are still coveted. This glittery sculpture over #vintage #dior silk didn’t even make it to the online storefront as it was snatched up before it even had time to be photographed. #bowtie #sartorial #bespoke #couture #fibreart #modemtl #mtlstyle #montreal #museum (at Guillotine Fibre Arts & Restoration) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdyDpkiAH8L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Have a super fun client who wants to recreate her childhood Barbie doll and full wardrobe! I LOVE working with old vintage styles and patterns like this design drawing for the iconic Silken Flame #barbie outfit. Sometimes I can’t believe I get to do this as a job. 😍🥰😂🤘 #designer #artist #couture #dollmaker #doll #montreal #toyhospital #restoration (at Guillotine Fibre Arts & Restoration) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdDuAlDLhX2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Restoration Process: alpaca restoration- This is what lining a fur or leather 3 dimensional fibre work looks like. See the face removed and the wire structure separated - the calico lining is stitched to the skins and in a full restoration is pressed and glued to the fabric for strength - in keeping with the clients budget, we opted for a simpler inner pocket that will relieve the stuffing stress from the skins. #restoration #museum #doll #toyhospital #fur #furryartist #montreal @museemccord (at Guillotine Fibre Arts & Restoration) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc_SIIvFSeO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
