Christmas Dolls

Long overdue - here is my Christmas lights session from Kingston with lovely customised Claudette wearing my hand-embroidered folk Christmas queen crown as well as seasonal ribbon bodice....

Ruling the ancient Kingston market

Spooky scary!

Oh yes - riverside restaurants delivered <3

LOL Urban christmas....

Christmassy dark alleys...

Also that year I received several dolly items...

Gorgeous sushi totally tines...

as well as these queens - obe to be beheaded and the other to be stuck on display for way too long...

Spring 2024

Today just a spring mix and match - lots of pastels, sunrays and petals...

ah yes....

...and the first bike ride of the season...

...exploring London's olympic park...

sporting the upcycled, hand-embroidered dress

Also - not worth a separate post - but a snapshot of lunch brake communal garden....

...with Daisy Rose...

annual forsythia greeting

...and our lockdown companion - neighbour's Plum tree

Experimental bags...

meanwhile, following a simple tutorial but having no tools nor patience I embraced an idea of creating a series of mini bags for dolls from scraps of leather and felt.

Seasonal and earthy - as always...

Prep...

Gluing...

...some of these are still awaiting to be finished. I need to figure out the fastening as well...

a little bit of dust never killed anybody....

They are been featured in some of my shoots from time to time, however :-)

Moana doesn't mind rough and raw edges...

Raquel was so cold channelling Spring she almost smiled posing with one...

...masters of the second plan...
