The Story of DaddyCraft
I'm an elementary school teacher and father of two beautiful children. A little over a year ago, my wife asked me to make a few wooden dolls, which she saw online, for my little son. I just couldn't stop. After making well over 100 different characters for him and eventually my daughter, I began to get better and more detailed. Some friends and family encouraged me to try to sell them, so here I am!
I make all of my wooden dolls to order for now. This means you'll get something uniquely tailored to you. Want a doll of your son in his soccer jersey? Or your husband with a Superman shirt? I can do that and more. I haven't given up on a character yet.
I started making these just as little toys (my kids have a big box full of tons of characters). But they're great as cake-toppers and other decorations. I've even made them into key chains and fridge magnets. They make excellent replacements to boring pawn pieces for board games.
In addition to these wood people, I like other crafts. I enjoy drawing (paper and digital), paper collages, scratch board drawings, and other wood pieces. I've done digital artwork and drawings using Adobe PhotoShop and Illustrator (characters, custom vehicle pictures for wall hangings and bed sheets). Have a request for something different, let me know. If I can make it, I'll do it and charge a fair price.
I use non-toxic acrylic paint and spray clear gloss on them after. The gloss makes them shiny and easy to clean. They're shipped straight to you. Any questions or comments, please let me know. Thanks!!
