Sweetpea, the cutest doll.

Argh isn't she adorable! I love her from her awesome blue hair, thick eyelashes, sparkly purple eyes and stripy tights. CUTE!
 
Just like my red haired doll her hair is done with my new way of doing hair, super secure and fully playable.
KID SAFE. That's important.
Hand painted face, non-toxic paint. Button eyes that could be swapped out for painted black pupils for small object conscious parents. I personally wouldn't worry about it. They are very stuck but I fully understand if it was a issue!
 

 
A little bit gothic, a little bit punk. A whole heap cute

More Bibs.

Anyone who looks at my crafts, well my anything is life really, will know I like skulls. Everything is better with a skull on it. Babies also fit into this don't they?
 
Here's a few bibs that I have hand printed, with a stencil that I made years ago, still going strong. Many children I know have worn this skull.
I don't think that only boys wear skulls, so the top two are my girly ones, pink top stitching and girly pink and purple backings.
The others are pretty much unisex if you don't mind having your girl called a boy (I never worried about that, haha)
I love the spider one, this is a new stencil with the red back hand painted on.
All of these bibs are designed for dribblers. They sit high on the neck, bunched up, so bubbys neck doesn't get wet like with a 'normal' bib. They have water proof backings, the kind of material of re-usable nappies and a thicker soaking material on the front. Super cool for all the awesome babies out there!
 



NEW DOLL!!

Finally I have finished my dolls I have been working on. Yay =)
 
This is the second time I have used this hair technique. I'm definitely sticking to it, it works out so nicely and she has SO much hair. I love it. And it's so sturdy, will definitely withstand kids playing with it. All of my dolls are playing dolls. None of these ''art" ones.
This particular one is quite up-cycled. Starting with the maroon wool in her hair, button eyes, Chinese silk singlet and knickers AND her filler too. As I have said I like to reuse things and I have real trouble throwing anything out, my house is very full....
 
Her little waistcoat has hand top stitching and is so super cute. And the lace frill on her skirt is pretty too innit?
 
Hand painted face, with non-toxic paints. Buttons are very secure but could very easily be replaced for a button/small object conscious parent.
 


She's pretty special.
