Floral hawaii (My doll No.208)

 

The day has come. I got this doll very unexpectedly from charity shop. She has  this unique 70s simple charm...and very few hair... I can never decide if she is young or more mature, elegant or casual...

Luckily the Floral theme for #monday4dolls allowed me to incorporate both!

Here is my floral spring flatlay 

and some close-ups with one of my mini-paintings

Let's now incorporate it into diorama

Awww...

Really happy with all the details 

...and here she is in extra floral vintage negligée

She definitely has splendid legs for her age...

Ok, enough basking in this morning sun - let's go!

Look at her cool trendy leggings, super short shorts, a-shapped all pink jacket and ankle-boots!

She seems so happy - must have been several decades since anyone redressed her... 

Oh, it's a bit overwhelming - better sit down before the trip!

Oh my! The first time outdoors...maybe in forever, who knows!

All the favourite spots in Richmond Park...

Ah yes - legs and flowers!

Bluebells, daffodils and a birch tree!

Lovely, gentle smile...

...few seasonal close-ups...

Oh and a quick one with a last-minute forsythia

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.
