Notes below the cut! 💚💚💚

Ok so it takes very little encouragement to make me show off more of my sewing/embroidery escapades (thanks @sundropglass for the kind notes left on my last post!)

It's one thing that I really don't have a good place to share, and no one else in my life finds it particularly interesting, so it's nice to occasionally babble about! So here are all my current dolls on the "to be finished eventually" pile- left to right in the group image, we have a doll made for my great Aunt who lives a few states away, who I've been calling Ginger and has an ivy/spring theme (it was originally meant to be christmas themed, but I SERIOUSLY missed Christmas so I've since changed it), then a wolf girl who went for at least a year without limbs, hair or a design in mind! She's the largest doll I've ever made and she's such a pain to make clothing for- currently she's wearing an underskirt I made for the white fox doll that was WAY too big for her, and her original top is now on my other doll, pictured under her little vest. Next is my yet unnamed doll, with a bit of a purple theme- she was one of my earlier dolls, and was a huge step up in my creative abilities from the weird little things I was cobbling together from tshirt scraps! And then after that is my white fox girl, also unnamed, with her little scar (I was too lazy and not confident enough to copy the other eye at the time) whose dress I showed off earlier. It's finished now, though I'd like to add an underskirt and mayyyyyybe touch up that apron with an embroidered border or trim to hide some of my ugly stitches, lol! Any suggestions are MORE than welcome, especially if anyone has any tips for patterning clothes for a soft doll- my pile of doll clothing that doesn't fit anyone right is waaaay too big...

Also naming suggestions!! Please if anyone has ideas, I've been completely dumbfounded by what to call these ladies. I have a few other older dolls I might also show off someday, but who knows?

I made a little Amadeo and Lestat out of fabric.

Thought I would share their cuteness. I'm on the middle of making Louis and then I will make a Riccardo.

(If I made a Daniel what period clothing should he wear?)

New doll by yours truly! Inspired by GUS from Sweet Tooth, created with fabrics, wire and some clay for the horns. It measures around 27 inches (69 cm) and, as seen in the pics, it is articulated. I am so proud of the result. like, I created this!

My full doll collection at the start of 2024:

I'll post individual posts to get to know each one over the nexts few days/weeks, but for now, I'll leave you with some stats under the read more

3 are American Girl dolls, 2 are from the italian brand My Doll, 1 from an artisan shop in Sicily and I don’t know about the other 12, but they seem to belong to 4 different brands.

4 are made of plastic, 11 of porcelain, and 2 of fabric.

13 were bought second hand, of which 11 were thrifted in physical shops and 2 bought on ebay, 4 were bought directly from the company/manufacturer, and one was gifted to me.

Most of them were added to the collection between 2016 and 2018, 3 were bought between September and December 2022, and 2 during 2023.

A pattern for an all fabric ball jointed doll I found wild and free on the web, attributed to a Maria F. If you have any more info on who made it please let me know so I can credit them.

Hi! I saw the post with your dolls and I wanted to say I am totally in love!! I wondered if maybe you would be willing to share more pictures? The button irises and embroidered lashes are so so charming, the impression is so cute and I love their expressions so so much

In all honesty the button and embroidery combo really inspires me to try something similar! I have always done full embroidery or embroidery and pencil for faces on my cloth dolls but I am just so taken. They really leave a mark! Their faces are just so striking!!

And the clothes you made!! They are so impressive! Clothes are the hardest part to me, most dolls I have made are chilling in an underwear party haha

This is such a sweet ask, thank you so much!! I am totally willing to share more pictures, I'll put a few here and probably make another post soon! (Putting the rambles under the cut again for the sake of length)

I'm so happy to be getting good feedback on the dolls I make, it's not something I usually show to other people and it makes the whole thing feel more "real", if that makes any sense. A few people have commented on the way I do eyes/faces specifically, and that's SO cool to me I can't even begin to tell you- I've done a lot of experimenting in that department, and even now I'm not entirely settled on how to do it. With my white fox girl, I actually went and made 3d lashes for her out of felt (highly recommend, it stands out beautifully and holds up well over time) but didn't do any blushing with pastels/color, but on my Aunt's dolls I did a lot of color, like watercolor pencil for the freckles (not very happy about getting wet, but not a horrible way to do it)... I might never make up my mind, lol! Right now I'm working on a dragon themed doll whose going to be a BIG experiment.

And totally agreed, clothing is the hardest part- I don't use patterns for my dolls (because I think it's more fun just to mess it up a thousand times lol) and let me tell you that does NOT make it easier. My big secret is that I just cover everything in trims and ribbons to hide the poor stitching- EVERYTHING looks nicer if you put a ruffle on it!

If you look at my one doll in the purple skirt, she has a super big shirt on and that's because the black wolf girl was supposed to have that shirt, but the torso was slightly too thin! I spent hours on that shirt and tried my best to make a real collar and I still messed it up. Thank God it looks good on her, though!! I always get so excited for the clothes stage but this is always how it goes- whoever I think I'm making clothing for is never the one who recieves it.

There's also one more doll I never showed off! She was the second(?) doll I ever made- she's supposed to be a little ghost, to haunt the other ones!

Her bonnet always slips over her eyes, lol. I used a technique on her I haven't used since, where I used black and grey/brown pastels to shade the white fabric- I may have to try it again sometime, she was really better for it <3

OK I should quit rambling, but thank you so much for your ask!!! This brightened my entire year- I wish you luck in your own adventures, @arezou !!
