The first is my first ever commission, a friend asked me to make a Russian style doll for her daughters birthday, her daughter is called Honey (isn't that the cutest?) hence the name on the front of the doll. I ended up doing it free of charge, it was so nice to make this and I really feel that this particular doll shows a huge improvement with my embroidery skills. This one is also quite a lot bigger than others I have made, around 10 inches tall.
The little baby is attached to the inside of the tummy pocket, so she doesn't get lost.
The second is, to my shame, a ridiculously late Russian Doll swap. Monda was so so very patient, it actually took a year for me to get this to her, which is um, quite pathetic really. These are Monda's photos, thank you Monda for letting me pinch them to show here.
I do not have photos of the sweet little Russian Doll Monda sent to me, as it is in France, but I will share as soon as I am able to take a few pics next time we head over there.
so lovely!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :)
ReplyDeleteOK, you have such a gift for stitching these little dolls. I can't even begin to imagine all the time that you saturated into your work. I would say that I year is more than fine to wait for one of your little beauties.
ReplyDeleteYou should do a whole series of these! Maybe of your queen of Flanders, etc. :)
ReplyDeleteTallulah, these dolls are absolutely adorable. I think your embroidery has always been excellent. The tiny stitching on the Valentine Dotee doll you made for me a few years ago is perfect.
ReplyDeletehappy new year Tallulah.
