Barbie Headed snail Baby! Blog no: 34!

So yeah it's been ages since i posted and yes made a softie this one i made ages ago and pattern wise not my best. however this snail baby had a barbie head with dyed pink hair and very glam rock face make up (blue glitter glue used). I beaded shiny bead and button into her hair with a demn pin. Btw her hair used to be this blond knot so i took a page from a 5 year old and gave it a random punk chop. i swear i have never done this to a barbie ever before! I found the doll in an op shop in queensland and sent it to my self down here. i was very inflenced by david bowie at the time i believe! go the felt lighten bolts!

love, elisa from space!

Snail Baby! Blog no: 27!

Introducing my snail Baby! i made it last weekend. i used a dolls face and arms (the ears) for the flesh parts. it's a simple partner which i'll upload soon (one day). Since the face and upper part of the softie is heavier than the bottom i used marbles for weights (which worked wonders!) i am very proud of her! my sister says it looks like a sperm! however to me it's a snail or slug!

Doll faced softie! Blog No: 25!

At last i have sat down and made another Softie and i must say i missed it!
This is the little devil girl i made on sunday! the face was from a baby doll i got from the trash and treasure markets for 50 cents! when buying a doll for this sofite it is important that the face is squishy and can be stitched through easily. colourful button must be sewin on before stitching the two part whole body together. This is probabley the most easiest pattern!
you can not tell also in these picture but the doll has an animal print peice of felt for the back.
I am really excited to create more doll faced softies!
These photos i must admite do not give the doll any justice! it is far more kitch and colourful.
What happend to the rest of the doll? you'll have to find out!

Sparkle the fairy doll! blog no: 12

Sparkle the fairy doll is delicate! she has lots and lots of beads and sequins! the most interesting part about he ris her wings which one side is covered with white sequins and the other side has silver and white. This took Time to do!! also sequins are rapped around her pigtails. two tear drop beads (which shine purple) act as the bow for her pig tails. she hold her self up easier than my other doll because she has a peice of wire which runs inside of her. only on one side of her skirt does she have blue heart shaped beads. To have this affect your self you must sew the decorations on before sewing with the back half and stuffing.

i decorated her by sew scrap peices of ribbon and felt wrapped around her body.

i made her for myself, to prove i could make her.

I will put the pattern of her wings, skirt, top and hair up. Her legs and arms are standard and was the same as the mawako doll.

Sparkle likes drinking cups of tea and singing to herself!
