Crimson Red Horse

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 09:30:51 -0500

$270.00
This is a very bright hippie-style stuffed horse. Her crimson red body is made of a fluffy cotton . She is dressed in a bright dress (acrylic) which is designed as a part of the body and cannot be put off (as well as the pants and the socks), on the back there is a bright decorative patch.
Her bright blue eyes look musingly. One can make few types of hair-style from her mane made of fake fur)))
I decided to make not exactly the hoofs, but soft “hoof-looking” hands. On each bangle there are wool bracelets decorated with beads and sequins. On her feet there are bright wool socks made from the pieces of bright knitted sweater that I have bought in the street market in Pisa.
She has got a nice wool bag and a little white needle-felted horse (with a bright mane and a col) as a toy of her own. She is holding this little horse, but it is possible also to put the horse in the bag so that the legs are inside and the rest part of the body is outside.
Her figure was designed for “seating-only” position. There is no wire skeleton inside the body, so it is not possible to fix the Horse in another position. Inside the limbs there is a wire (but not tough) so it is possible to change their position but without the strong fixation.
In order to see more photos of this Horse-doll and to take a closer look at all the details, please, visit my web-site (indicated on almost each picture) and find Horse's page there.

The height of the horse (in sitting position) is 38 cm;
the length of her legs is 27 cm.
This Horse-doll is NOT meant to be a child's toy, this is a piece of art, it is hand sewn and therefore rather delicate. It is NOT possible to wash it for most probably it will loose its appearance in this case.

Flea Market Rat

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:16:29 -0500

$500.00
Once I decided to make a long-eared hedgehog for a woman of my acquaintance (who wanted exactly the hedgehog), but in the process of creation suddenly I understood that this creature doesn't have the “soul” of a hedgehog, it is rather a rat, than a hedgehog.
So, I had a choice: to “struggle” against this new personality and to make it become the Hedgehog anyhow, or to let it be as she wants to. This way I was surprised to get an old vintage-style Rat, who is a bit crazy collecting different kinds of things that seems beautiful and precious to her (just like I do))), who tries her best not to miss fairs and flea markets (and other places that are known only to her) in search of treasures. She carefully packs what she finds (just like Jonathan, the hero of the movie “Everything is Illuminated”) and sometimes even forgets about her possessions. She is also a bit greedy and crazy keeping all she has by her side and trying to hold all the most beloved things in her hands at once. Just now she embraces her favorite vase (probably made of copper) with a yellow paper rose inside. Among other decorations she has got an enamel brooch and a garnet pendant.

She also loves her asymmetric needle felted white hat with a bright blue feather with a silver clip on it (which goes well with her light blue faded eyes). She puts this hat on even if the weather is hot. From underneath this hat her eyesight becomes very specific rat-like (she keeps herself in the shelter and at the same time looks around very attentively).

The height of the doll is 25 cm (10")

P.S. - if you want to see more pictures of this doll from different points of view, do not hesitate to contact me
P.P.S. - this is rather expensive doll, so the shipping price includes the insurance.

Wool Fox with the Travelling Bag

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:16:29 -0500

$380.00
This Fox is a brand new creation of mine (it was finished on the 4th of July). Repeatedly my inspiration "tells" me to create old-looking and vintage-style animals.

I love this Fox, especially because it was made mainly from fine wool fabric. That's why this fox-doll is very cosy, though looks a bit sad.
This Fox has to move or to go to the long trip.
She is almost ready to leave. She decided to put into her grip bag only the most precious possessions of hers - the plural-coloured hen (the hen is Fox's pet, she gives the Fox fresh "fox-coloured" eggs for breakfast) and the withered gardenia flower.
The Hen is needle felted.
The flower is a real one (I have the bush of gardenia growing in the balcony). I took the flower to create a story and the photos.
I do not sell this flower))) but if you want, I can also pack it and send it to you together with Fox, Hen, Hen's egg and the bag.

The height of this doll is 33 cm.
Inside there is a wire skeleton, so you can change the position of all the limbs, but I would recommend to do it only few times to avoid stretching the material.
This doll is rather delicate and it is not a child's toy.
It is not possible to wash it.

P.S. - the shipping price doesn't include the insurance. It is not possible to make the insurance for this kind of sending.
That's why I won't give you back your money if the parcel is lost or damaged.

If you want to make the insurance, contact me, please, before making this purchase.
The approximate price for the parcel with the insurance will be about 50$.

Detective

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 11:57:30 -0400

$130.00
This rare animal one has never met before (this is for sure) seems to be a detective.

He is an old-looking vintage style character dressed in a "worn out" waistcoat and a scarf, and with a decorative patch on his right side. That's why he is a real detective of the "old school" who always relies only on his keen eye and a magnifier as well as on his sharp brain.

Just now he seems to be a bit confused by some facts he has found out. He is trying to combine "uncombinable" in his head.

The doll is one-of-a-kind. All the materials are natural and "traditional" (fluffy cotton and wool, silk threads) and a bit distressed to achieve a "worn out" effect, so this little stuffed animal looks really cosy, though a bit "gloomy".

Inside there is a wire skeleton, so you can change the position of all the limbs, but I would not recommend to do it very often to avoid stretching the material.
This stuffed animal is fully hand-sewn so it is rather delicate and it is not a child's toy.
It is not possible to wash it.

The height is 20,5 cm.

P.S. - he may become a good present for the person who is an investigator, detective or some kind of a forensic expert.

P.P.S. - I graduated as a lawyer and during my university years for some time I worked as an investigator's assistant ))).

Ewe Hogg - a sheep with a glass pendant.

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 03:47:54 -0400

$80.00
Once upon a time I decided to put everything in order in my "treasury" (the place where I keep my doll-making staff). Almost hopeless business, by the way. I noticed that two fabrics - light grey curly acrylic and dark grey wool go very well with each other. Actually, that time I planned to make quite another toy, but I was so exited by the harmony of the combination of these two fabrics, that I started to make this Ewe immediately (even gave up to make up my "treasury"). The height of the sheep is approx. 6" (15 cm). The hoofs are made from wood. She has got a tiny glass pendant. I really like her eyes. They are shining from "inside", from the very bottom. I managed to make them by myself. Frankly speaking, I found out the way of making such kind of eyes by accident. The Ewe is a bit fat, but very tender with sweet expression of big shining eyes with long eyelashes.

This Sheep is NOT meant to be a child's toy. It is an artistic creation, so it is impossible to wash it. The sheep is good for elder children, teenagers and grown-ups who will appreciate her and treat it gently.
It is possible to change her pose a little and position of her tail, but do not do it very often to avoid stretching material. Please, do not reach the elastic limit of fabric - the Sheep was sewn by hands without sewing machine.
