Handmade Teapot Cover

This teapot cover was ordered by Zarina, a girl who likes tea very much. She wanted both to keep the warmth of her favourite drink and to decorate the kitchen with a doll. And she made up her mind that the ideal solution would be to make a teapot that looks like a doll. I suggested that the prototype of the doll would be the heroine of the "Merchant's Wife" picture by Boris Kustodiev. Zarina liked the idea very much because, as it turned out, she liked the pictures created by this painter.
Some "technical details":
The warmth is saved by means of the skirt made from wadding.
Also, it is the first doll sewed by me that has a breast (What a merchant's wife it is if she hasn't got a breast?! Everybody who is familiar with the creations of Boris Kustodiev knows that all his models were rather plump)

Wedding (Bride and Groom Handmade Dolls)

There was a wedding of Kate and Victor in the end of July this year. This pair of "just married" handmade dolls was ordered by the bride's sister. It was really interesting for me to work on these dolls because I had to re-create the characters as close to the real people as possible. Especially, I paid much attention to the bride: her hair, tiara, dress, shoes; as well as to the bride-groom: hair, suit, and... glasses :)

Pippi Longstocking - Handmade Doll

Three weeks ago a new children's footwear shop "Pippi" was opened in Salihorsk, Belarus. This "Pippi Longstocking" handmade doll became the symbol of the shop.

It's worth noting that this is my first doll sewed in such a style. The idea of a doll like this I had been nurtured for a long time, luckily the owners of the shop, a young couple, Alexander and Angela, asked me to sew the doll.
I liked the doll very much much, so do my clients :)
