October forest

 Today one of my Christmas 2017 (i guess) heads enjoying their body outdoors.

Wearing all handmade by me doll fashions - natural silk skirt, vintage floral cotton blouse with embellishment and plum felt seasonal jacket with embroidery.

This a fantastic face-sculpt - first used on 'curvy' Fashionistas and rotating from then on in so many different multi-ethnic variations!

The forest was transitioning from summer to autumn - not much to see tbh 

- bad light and no autumnal colours but I tried LOL

 

oh dear - muddy roads and grayish greens, yay!

some fern drama?

LOL

and all four of 'us'

Felt jackets

In between lives I am working on my doll designs and patterns
- for futire when things will return back to normal...

Here are exmples of my in-between-season creations
- felt coats modelled by my beloved Moxies.

They are inspired by this Barbie-size jacket presented before by lovely Jasmine...
(that one)

I have been developing the border and finish I experimented with before 

on this returning red cardigan...

This time I have created my own custom textile by sttitching my teal fleece.

 It's fun fabric to work with.

here is Moxie on her first try-on /fitting session

Truely refreshing scale to work with after years of struggling with Barbie's miniature slenderness...

The second outfit is coming along nicely - in my fav dusty heather felt

after few alterations and fitting I started to add details:

border with thick wool

and frill at the bottom crocheted with matchng mix of fine cotton threads

here it is modelled by dynamic Melrose

Second jacket got croched edge all around the front in pinks and purples...

good news - it fits Mademe Alexander doll as well (and looks much less like a coat)

girls reunited:

oh need some more of these... in every colour;-)
