Welcoming 2017

New years resolutions....
Time for retrospection and  plan- drawings, time for fresh thoughts and new beginnings...Happy New Year!

​ 2016 was not a very prolific year in terms of doll number, thus it seems... I have the feeling I never stopped working ...How is that?

Well, apart from the fact I am indeed late on my photography schedule and could have shown more, I basically was in research- mode all this year! (My bin is full of trash)
Trying this and that, improving here and there...thus driving my most faithful supporter crazy (my husband)...and one of my dear customer desperate for sure....
But overall, I am satisfied with two or three major progresses I made:

I developed a way to actually be working faster (my research), thus will be able to either have a bit more dolls produced or induce a project or two around it, and that is a great great thing!
I could focus and also have a bit of doll teaching opportunity which I loved doing.
I participated two important exhibits for me, because  in my  
location, showing my dolls for the first time (can you believe it!) to people who are just near! And the response was great!

​Apart from that, I also played with the idea of developing little dolls  with their wardrobes for children, more Waldorf or Steiner type ones, but needle felted in the inside, and after 5 or 6 dolls (to my daughter's joy) I think I will make do, sometime.
​I even started carving small wood dolls because why not....

​I have been really busy as you can see , and I wish all this will be fruitful efforts for the future, and I will put my dolls to sale again.

​I want to thank you much for being there for me, always. For exchanging thoughts and encouragements regularly and  right when I might have just quitted, being exhausted, and drained and lonely sometimes, as if you knew....
​And thank you for being patient and respectful with me, even when a long time passes with no feed from my part.

Given that hands are, in my opinion, one of the most difficult to achieve, given you want them small and graceful, believable and needle felted...this is my progress...

These have armature inside, I don't know yet if I will go for more detailing like fingernails and so on .

For a certain little doll that was induced for the show in September. I could not finish her, of course, at the time, and she went home with half a face , but after a good couple of hours work or so yet, and that is what you get so far.
​ A bit of a romantic don't you think?

​And in the meanwhile I am about to finish two more dolls that have been in the preparing for a really long time....one of them is a little boy...big challenge!
