Alice

Alice, 14 inches

Alice. She's a little country girl. 

A very simple character, so close to nature.

Fall is her favourite season. She likes her daily walks in the country in chilly and wet autumn evenings.

Alice is part of October's DOLLECTABLE. It's happening on Sunday Oct 1st starting at 7pm EDT.

You will find a link to the shop here:

This doll and her accessories have all been handcrafted by myself.

They are not intended for little children, due to the presence of small parts, and long fibers. They will enjoy light play though!

THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING,

Flore in action!

Flore

She loves spring and flowers

Flore, as her name carries it, loves spring and flowers. This will be my inspiration for her outfit. I'm now active into making it on time for next Thursday's Dollectable, the pretty girl wouldn't miss it!

Flore was made from my latest pattern, she's a fully-jointed doll of 17 inches.

Her pretty hair is made of gorgeous hand-dyed cotswold locks I wefted in my atelier.

You'll discover more about Flore in the coming hours as Dollectabme is fast approaching!

See you later!

Camille, a baby boy or girl?

The pattern I designed to make this baby comes from the pattern of my model Petit-Pois

I'm currently working on a baby doll. Its peculiarity is that it can be a girl or a boy. That is why it's bearing a mixed name.
The pattern I designed to make this baby comes from the pattern of my model Petit-Pois. That's why you can find similarities in the roundness of its limbs and belly, and its general posture.

 

Its hair is made of soft , really soft Kid Mohair locks in black with lovely red highlights. These clean locks have been hand dyed, and home-wefted by me. I love its very realistic effect.

Camille can move its head from side to side, and back and forth, thanks to a frame solidly integrated in its construction. It can also can bend its knees and elbows thanks to simple wooden joints. This good baby can sit unassisted, and can stay upright with some little help, but... remember it's a small baby, and THAT's already a good start!

Camille will be looking for an adoption family next week

Camille will be looking for an adoption family next week. A form will be visible here, under this "news" section, for 24 hours, starting on Thursday. It will be a MMAO - Make Me An Offer- type of sale. A newsletter will notify the subscribers earlier next week, and describe the steps to follow.

This is Irène

This lovely little lady will be happy to snug into your arms.

She has plenty of stories to tell you, imaginary ones, peopled with nice princes and princesses.

She has plenty of stories to tell you

She comes with her whole outfit, composed of a handknit lacy dress, in a lovely pale pink colour, an underdress I made from authentic vintage lace fabric from my collection, a pair of handkit lacy boots in a gorgeous yellow colour.

She will also bring her favourite cowl and her lace hair bow.

*******

Irène is 15 inches -a bit more in fact! She's made of natural fibers, and her head and body are totally needle felted. Her skin is DeWitte Engel fabric in fair colour. Her hair is made of a Tibetan lamb skin wig in a gorgeous plum colour. This hair is very easy to do in many different hairdoes. It can be combed with a wide teethed comb, and gently sprayed to keep the lovely little curls.

She has a weighted body. I added dollmaking beads into a secured pouch into her belly. Her arms and legs are rolled for more firmness and durability.

(she can) pose her head gently

Irène has an armature running from the core of her head deep down into her belly. This allows her to pose her head gently.

Please note this doll is made for collectors; numerous little parts and long fibers could be dangerous to little children.

Milie's finally ready!

she's finally there!

She's there! Finally! After a crazy week I couldn't make it on time for Milie to be ready on Thursday, and I need to apologize for this short delay. But she's finally there! Fully dressed and ready to brave the cold weather! The days are really chilly nowadays, and I guessed I couldn't let Milie go in just a skirt and a blouse!

I decided to make her a comfy little fur vest, held at the waist with a long lace. It's also reversible, and the other side is made in a heavy woolen matching fabric that I fell in love with. 

tartan scarf

I wondered a lot about the shoulder straps of her skirt. I found the solution thanks to the friends on facebook who gave me their opinions, and helped me opt for a pair of very simple and thin straps, in the same fabric as the skirt.
I like the aerial outfit thanks to the tulle that creases under the skirt. The small folds here or there allow the whole to create the movement.
I also added a tartan scarf, and a knitted lace bonnet (pattern by Winterludes).
I like the detail of the small buttons and dots on her boots too.

Milie has flexible legs, thanks to knees made of wooden beads.

Milie has flexible legs, thanks to knees made of wooden beads.

She can also bend her head from left to right, and thus adopt endearing poses. Her head, and her body are entirely needle sculpted. I used a Rolling technique to form her limbs.
Milie's hair is made of alpaca fiber, sewn into wefts, which are then crocheted into a wig.

You will find a full Flickr album with the button below

Milie will be available next Tuesday, here, on my site. Her price is set at 595 €. The shipping cost is 40€ international, 25€ Europe, and 15€ national.
If you wish to welcome Milie in your home, you will be able to do so by filling out the form that will be available here on Tuesday, January 17, at 10am EST (16h heure française). This form will remain open for 24 hours.

If you have any questions, please contact me here, or on Facebook, or at lespoupz@sfr.fr

Liam, 12-inch Natural Fiber Doll

Liam, 12-inch Natural Fiber Doll

Here's Liam! What a funny little boy, so lively and happy!

We can guess he got his lovely red hair and numerous freckles from an Irish great great great grandfather.

A lively and happy boy

Liam is 12 inches (around 30cm). His hair is bouclé mohair yarn, crocheted into a cap and tightly sewn on. His skin is cotton jersey from the Netherlands, in a fair pink complexion. His body, head and limbs have been worked with wool through different techniques of rolling and needle felting. He's weighted with dollmaker's glass beads, into his belly. I love his round shapes, with nice belly and bum.

Taking Walter for a ride

*******

Liam will be wearing his boy's underwear, that is red checkered bloomers and a sleeveless undershirt with cute little boats prints.

He will also have his favourite handknit Irish sweater, along with a pair of woollen baggy trousers.

Liam playing with his plush doggie pet, Walter

To comfort him as well, he insisted in taking his plush doggie pet, Walter, and promised he will be very careful, and feed him well.

He will also bring his handknit knee-high socks, just in case the winter becomes really cold, because he hates cold feet.

Liam will also have a cute green aviator-style bonnet that is not pictured here.

just in case the winter becomes really cold

Liam and Walter will be for sale during Dollectable on December 1st 2016, 7pm EST on hyenacart.

I'm also finishing two Christmas-themed Titis that will be listed in the shop later today!
