Happy Birthday - Dancing Queen

hi crafters

a quick post today..

well can you believe it we are now in July. 

i think it's going to be a case of blink and the year has gone.

i'm popping in today to share a custom card and it has turned out lovely.

the colour theme is very feminine.

i do love the paper i have used: maja design paper pad, denim & girls.

i just wished i could get my hands on a few more - lol

 no colouring on this project just a few dies from my stash, 7x7" card base, printed sentiments, designer papers, white linen card stock, ribbon, stick on crystals and a stamen.

today's post is a bit like this year blink and you've missed it...he he

thanks for stopping by.

north coast doll kit

 evening crafters

popping in to share a doll i've been working on

this little sweetie has no name yet (just as i am typing, her  name has come to me)

as a homage to the creator of northcoast dolls i'd like you to meet

Meg

i have been a huge fan of northcoast dolls for some time and was booked to attend a workshop last year but sadly was cancelled.

a little photo journal of Meg's progression

me on my lunch break making all things crafty, including a little card making

Meg with Julie-Anne (who is still waiting for her outfit)

a few books/tutorials i have in my stash

i have enjoyed making this doll even with a few minor alterations but i do need to find a needle felting class (i struggled on that section)

this doll is a kit from Little oke dolls

everything you need is included to make the doll (no clothes)

material

wig

various needles

wool stuffing

threads

instruction book

etc

with everything i have learned making Meg hopefully my next dolls will be easier.

all it leaves me to say now is

thanks for stopping by enjoy your evening and

craft happy, Ann

Oscar, waldorf inspired doll

 good morning and hi

popping in this morning to share a new waldorf/maryjane inspired handmade male doll

i have to admit i've not been motivated to make/complete some of the projects i've been working but i have managed to finish this little chappie.

i'd like to introduce Oscar (just love the name) a 11" fabric/knitted waldorf inspired doll:

originally he had a different coloured outfit

and i think i should have taken a photo of his blonde curly wig (next time)

his face is fairly masculine even with a little blush, and large brown embroidered eyes.

his shorts, jumper, bob hat, socks, shoes and underpants are 4ply sock yarn WYS & king cole

his knitted skin tone is toft fine (oatmeal), his fabric face is de-witte engel knitted jersey and he has been stuffed with natural wool stuffing

small list of materials used (including links)

pattern for the body is from: Mary Janes Tearoom

yarns used for his body, jumper, shoes, underpants and shorts are from:

the knitters attic WYS 4ply 

toft

and other items:

wig: large loop mohair Little oke dolls

thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day

happy birthday brother

 evening crafters.

popping in to share a personal birthday card this evening.

a simple matt and layered card using one of my trusty lili of the valley images and i have used my distress ink as my colouring medium.

i haven't listed all the colours i have used as it was a bit of a rush card (i do tend to be on the last minute lol).

in no particular order i have used:

vintage photo, tattered rose, pumice stone, antique linen, faded jeans, walnut stain, old paper

7x7 blank card base

langton hot pressed paper

designer paper from: tim holtz & lili of the valley.

white card

a sentiment die from my stash

all it leaves me to say now is:

thanks for stopping by enjoy your evening.

Kitty re-work

evening crafters

popping in to share a little re-work i have done on Kitty (again).

i re-made her head again as i'm now getting the hang of the process you go through creating a Waldorf style doll. i still have lots to learn and i'm hope full that i manage to attend a workshop in the near future as i prefer hands on rather than following a book or you tube. (it's jus a me thing).

i will add the books i already have are really helpful and the video tutorials i have sat and watched through are really informative but they can't tell you where you are going wrong which is where i struggle..

 

 

for the re-work i have carefully removed her head from the body, carefully removed her wig from her head, re-made the head making sure that i didn't make it too big to fit the body. carefully put her all back together again and i pleased to say she has turned out gorgeous.

that's all for this evening, join me again soon for my next doll (a boy) and cards that i am working on.

Ann
