A crocheted doll in pale skin colour. She is wearing a dress vaguely inspired by late 1500's dress styles. The copper brown bodice is close fitting with front lacing and tabs at the waist. It has green metallic thread sewn into it for effect and the fabric is distressed with painting. The sleeves are in black chiffon that's been chinched at several points with green metallic thread to create a puffed sleeve effect, reminicent of renaissance style gowns. Sleeves are also distressed with painting. The skirt consists of several layers: black party satin strips at the base, overlayed with unevenly shaped black and orange tulle, black chiffon and then black lace scraps. The layers are staggered and uneven, not fully covering up the layer beneath. Between the lace and chiffon, there's also strips of untwisted metallic crochet thread, the same that's been used previously. The skirt has also been distressed with painting. She has a pair of leaf wings painted in green and metallic copper at her back, and her blonde waist long hair has been tainted on the lower half with the same paint. On her head she has a pointed hat that's drooping slightly down at the back, and it has the same look as wicker baskets. The hat is painted in green and copper, and the brim consists of little leafs in the same colours, with green metallic thread sewn in to create the veins of the leafs. Same kind of leafs are scattered around the hat. She has black eyes and pink blushed cheeks. In her left hand she's holding a wand in green with a copper coloured detail coiled around it from top to bottom. At the end there's a little round multicoloured bead. The painting used to distress her clothing is metallic copper, which makes her shimmer in different lighting from all angles. In this picture she's in slight profile from the right, hovering over the grass (supported by a doll stand) leaning slightly forwards towards a red berry with her right arm bent at the elbow stretching for the berry.

In this picture she's looking straight into the camera, a hand against a tree branch that's slightly in front of her, the sun on her face. She looks to be enjoying a sunny autumn day in her beloved forest.

A lil impromptu embroidery I did 😊 (not my design)

#embroidery #handembroidery #bee #stainedglass #honeycoomb
A circular embroidery frame with black velvet covering. In the centre is a dark green fabric with embroidered honeycoomb pattern in three tones of yellow, framed in with two shades of brown. In the centre of the image is an embroidered bee in black and orange, and blue-grey wings. The embroidery is done with surface satin stitches and split stitch for the black outlines. The style of the image is stained glass inspired.

A few more pictures of my art doll Sax Kronhjarbarek. The commissioner was over the moon and his expectations exceeded, which made me really happy!

A crocheted anthropomorphic stag dressed in 1920s inspired male fashion seen from the back. He's standing in rust coloured trousers and champagne coloured shirt featuring white collar and cuffs. His suspenders are in wine red and he has a turquise blue news boys hat. His hair is dark brown with grey streaks. He has black and brown fake leather shoes. His sleeves are pulled up, and he's standing slightly swayed, holding a golden saxophone we can't see which he's currently playing.

The corset has been finished for a while, but here it is!! I'm still breaking it in, but I have already made some notes on things I'll change for the next one I make. This isn't unexpected, and I'm looking forward to the continuation of my corset journey!

#corsetry #flossing #handembroidery #sewing
Front view of a female in a black corset decorated with flossing in blue tones, green, pink and purple. The corset has a straight busk at the front, and horizontal cording across the top in the bust area. The cording is embroidered with blue stems in a fan shape, topped with simple pink flowers. The picture is cropped to only show the corsetted portion of the torso. Back view of a female in a black corset decorated with flossing in blue tones, green, pink and purple.

He has a name now! Everyone say hello to Sax Kronhjarbarek (it has a meaning which I may get into in a different post.

Realised I've forgotten to share some of the latest progress, so here you go!

A close up of the art doll's back where two tiny eyelets have been handsewn in his shirt for two wire loops to come through. These loops are so the doll can be hung up for display. Front view of the doll. He is standing on a doll stand with his arms outsretched to the sides in a champagne coloured satin shirt featuring white cuffs and a white collar. The tiny shirt has a button stand down the front, and it's tucked into his rust coloured trousers. The trousers has suspender hoops on each side of the fly, and has a small pleat for fit going into the waistband. The hems are turned up on the outside in 1920's fashion. The doll viewed from the back, arms outstreched and sleeves pushed up a little on his arms. The back of the rust coloured trousers has the waistband curving gently up to the center back where it ends on an angle on each side, forming a V slit at the center. It has a back strap to adjust size with and a hole for his tail.

Some progress on his clothes have been made! The trousers are nearly done,and I need to finish the shirt, which is missing a bit more.

Exciting to see it coming together slowly 👀

Some progress on the commissioned art doll. He has yet to tell me his name, but there's still time to figure that out.

In the process of stitching his shirt and trousers together now.

#iadrregistry #artdolls #handmade #handmadedolls #crochet #crochetdolls
A crocheted doll with green eyes and a snout is standing upright on a homemade doll stand, and is currently getting paper draped on his body to create a shirt pattern. He looks mildly concerned about all the pins being used to hold the paper in place Three paper pattern pieces for a doll shirt laid out on a wooden desk. A plain sleeve, which is bigger than the front and back pieces to the shirt. Paper pattern pieces for doll trousers laid out on a wooden desk. It has a front and a back piece with a rounded opening for the doll's tail, and a waistband. A pair of doll trousers in the process of being handsewn. They are in a rust coloured thin and drapy fabric. Next to it is a little shirt in champagne coloured poly satin. The shirt is inside out with sleeves pulled through the armholes ready to be sewn in place. Next to the clothes is a hand resting on the desk for size reference. The trouser legs would fit on one of her fingers.

Some flossing progress

#corset #embroidery #flossing #corsetry
A close up of a black corset with flossing on top of four boning channels, which are done in three shades of blue and are criss crossing lines. On the middle of the boning channels there's also flossing, done in one shafe of blue, green and purple on the channels to the left, and on the right it has a darker shade of blue and pastel pink instead of purple.

A crocheted doll standing upright. It is chocolate brown in colour with green safety eyes and big stag antlers, a muzzle and ears. It is masculine in stature, and the doll is simplistic in nature.
