Portrait doll - made from a photo

My customer, mother of below mentioned two, was so happy and inspired 

with our cooperation that she has ordered spontaniously a portrait doll of her mother. 

The Birthday grandma was going to celebrate her 70 years in a great fashion. 

Literally as I have made her a stylish set of clothes after series of e-mails with ideas and fabric samples.

 

Mother / Grandma doll was a gift for the 70th Birthday.
She has hand embroidered face on pale ivory/ rosy canva and dove gray weavy cotton boucle hair. She is wearing a simple sky blue top and floral cotton jaket with frills (mainly hand-stitched) accompanied with a stylish pair of loose, pine green, textured linen trousers and
deep purple tights and a hand-made stones and beads necklace as well.

My doll collection vol.5

Today few words about another doll I am really enjoying.

I love unusual editions -tis one not only she is not a platinum blonde pink princes - 

she had rather short hair, completely unique face... 

I was so surprised finding her in a stash at garage/boot sale (Nordic market) in Luxembourg.

 close-up by me w/ glasses

 styled by me with a hand-made kimono blouse and vintage beads necklace (after my childhood barbies)

look at those great small breasts and natural waist  perfection!

took me sometimes to find out she is not a tv character but just a "grandma" 

(sure good looking one!) from Happy Family series...
