Handmade Textile Dolls

Probably, each of us in childhood had such a friend, about whom we remember all our lives We slept with him, walked , played .. we fed him and gave him a tea or, even worse, juice with berrie.., and then our moms washed out the tea leaves or berries from him.. We loved him with all our hearts .. he, so grimy and washed out, was better than all the new and clean toys ..... I had a doll- boy named Sasha.. and, probably not surprising, I've been drawn to this name all my life My first love was called Sasha and the second, which happened much later, was also called Sasha .. this boy was a big, at first even bigger than me, a doll with a textile body and a plastic face. Fortunately, the face did not suffer from frequent washings, but there were many patches on the body. Mom several times tried to change Sasha for the same new doll, but I loved Sasha. And I remember only him from all my children's toys .. he still lives in my heart Please share who was your best friend in your childhood? Bear, or maybe a monkey or a duck? Let's remember our friends who were always with us in our childhood This bear was made to order by a grandmother for her grandson, who is just about to be born. I really want this little bear to become the best friend of this baby for many years to come #teddybear #handmadeteddy #handmadeteddybear #childhoodfriends #myfriends #babyshowergifts #nurserydecor #warminggifts #babygiftideas #babygifts #birthdatgift #birthdaygiftideas #giftforboys #giftforgirls #giftforgirlfriend #giftforher

About two years ago I made a grasshopper for my mother's friend, whom I know from my childhood, as a birthday gift .. it turned out so cool, as if alive .. And then I decided to consult with my mom - I also had a new doll with me, which I just made .. I ask - what is better to give - a grasshopper or a doll? And I got the answer - "a grasshopper! She is already a big woman - she does not play with dolls!" I was amazed at this logic then .. It seems to me that we are... all a little kids inside ourselves .. someone is more a child, someone is less .. someone allows himself to "play with dolls", and someone just thinks that he is an adult already and he can't play with dolls in any way. I play with dolls, I play with teddy bears and other animals .. with those that I make by myself .. and those with whom I suddenly fall in love, made by other masters. They make me happy It seems to me that the less we set ourselves inhibitions, the easier the life for us... And the more calmly we accept ourselves. And we play with dolls, despite the fact that we are no longer children. But that childhood has not gone anywhere from us! And the more often we remember this, the happier we will be Anyway, Do you play with dolls? #hedgehog #teddyhedgehogs #hedgehogteddy #hedgehogteddytoys #hedgehoglove #teddylove #teddybears #handmadeteddy #miniaturehedgehog #miniatureteddybear #miniatureteddy #handmadedolls #textiledolls #fabricdolls #clothdoll #ooakteddyhedgehog #ooakteddyelephant #ooakteddybunny #ooakteddybear #artistdolls #artistteddy

In the theme of emotions .. the bear is still in the process of work, but look how cute he is I already fell in love with him! And the strangest thing is I experience this feeling with every new character #teddybear #handmadeteddy #handmadeteddybear #teddylove #giftforgirlfriend #giftformyself #giftforme #housewarminggift #giftideas #birthdaygiftideas #babyshowergifts #babyshowergifts #teddybearlove #handcrafted #handcraft

Do you know why I love what I do the most? For emotions. For the emotions that I get when I make my characters For the emotions people feel when they see them. For the emotions that I feel when I see these people's emotions. I made this doll about 3 years ago. There has always been an ambiguous attitude towards her. Someone liked her, someone seemed strange, and someone did not understand her and did not accept her at all.... And some day I participated with her and my other characters in the local Craft Fair, as a vendor. People came up, smiled, looked at my dolls .. someone bought something, someone just moved on. And then a one Lady came up to me. Rather, she came not to me, but to this doll. At first she just stood silently and looked at her for 5-7 minutes .. then she took her in her hands, held her and hugged her. She looked at me with eyes full of tears and said: "She reminds me of my mother so much! I will not leave here without her, no matter how much it costs!" Even when she paid for the purchase, she hugged the doll .. I offered her a bag, but she refused and went on, hugging the doll to her, smiling and crying at the same time. #handmadedoll #lovehandmade #handmadegifts #fabricdolls #fabricdollsewing #textiledolls #handmadeclothdoll #handmadetextiledolls #handmadefabricdoll #waldorftoys #teddybears #handmadeteddy #handmadeteddybears #handmadeteddybär #handmadeteddys #giftforme #giftformyself #bithdaygiftforhim #giftforher #housewarminggifts #housewarminggiftideas
