Maria, dancer art doll

Maria is passionate dancer. She loves to dance the night away and can’t stop her feet from moving when she hears music. She adores flamenco, salsa and even cha-cha-cha. She is also huge fan of travelling and dreams about visiting all of the seven continents.

I dressed her up in a beautiful crocheted dress in orange and grey, adorned with lace. She is wearing orange shoes with laces. She is approximately 14'' (36 cm) tall  and it took me 20 and a half hours to finish it.

You can adopt her here.

Marija je strastna plesalka. Ničesar ne ljubi bolj kot preplesanih noči, pa naj bo to ob ritmu flamenka, salse ali čačačaja. Ko zasliši glasbo, njene noge pač ne morejo ostati pri miru. Je tudi velika ljubiteljica potovanj, zato sanja o tem, da bo nekoč obiskala vseh 7 kontinentov.  

Oblekla sem jo v oranžnosivo obleko s čipko in obula v oranžne čeveljčke z vezalkami. Visoka je 36 cm, kvačkala pa sem jo kar dobrih 20 ur.

Blue and green go well together

Don't you think? :)

New brooch

I'm saying goodbye to winter with this pin (I hope that it will help and that we will have spring in no time :) It is special because it is made in reduce-reuse-recycle spirit  out of the leftovers of yarn. 

Available here

S to broško se poslavljam od zime in upam, da jo bo kmalu zamenjala pomlad. Broška je posebna, saj je narejena iz ostankov. Seveda ne kar od vseh po vrsti, ampak ostankov volne, ki je ostala od večjih projektov :)

Flora, spring art doll

Meet Flora. In Roman mythology Flora (from latin floris = flower) is a goddess of flowers, flowering plants, especially those that bear fruit and the season of spring. Her function is to make the grain, vegetables and trees bloom. That is why I dressed her in crocheted dress in blooming pink and purple colors and even gave her hair a feeling of a growing tree.

You can adopt her here.

Spoznajte Floro, rimsko boginjo rož in pomladi. Ste tudi vi opazili, da nas je v zadnjih tednih že nekajkrat obiskala in nas za začetek razveselila z zvončki? Jaz sem :) Ker pa nas bo v prihodnje osrečevala tudi z drugimi rožami, sem jo oblekla v cvetočo vijolično-roza obleko, pričesko pa oblikovala v rastoče drevo.

And if we are already talking about seasons, take a look at my latest Etsy treasury and have a beautiful week!
In če že govorimo o letnih časih ... Oglejte mojo najnovejšo "zakladnico" na to temo in uživajte v naslednjem tednu, ne glede na to, kakšen bo ;)

Gaia, goddess art doll

Gaia (or Gaea or Gea) is the primal Greek goddess personifying the Earth, the Greek version of Mother Nature or the Earth Mother. I made her as a symbol of symbiosis of man and the nature and the way of environmentaly responsible way of life in which we should all live.

I dressed this handmade doll in beautiful crocheted dress in blue which represents the sky and in brown which represents the earth.

You can arrange her visit here

Gaja grška boginja, ki pooseblja samo Zemljo, je mati narava. Predstavlja simbiozo človeka in narave ter način okolju prijaznega življenja, ki bi ga morali živeti prav vsi. Oblekla sem jo v modro barvo, ki simbolizira nebo, in rjavo, ki odraža zemljo.

I love little treasures! What about you?

I haven't had the time to crochet a lot lately, so I am presenting you just a few Etsy Treasuries, in which my dolls were included (unfortunately I can not feature them all, although I would love to).

Zadnje tedne mi zmanjkuje časa za kvačkanje, zato vam tokrat predstavljam le nekaj zakladnic s spletne strani Etsy, v katerih so se pojavile moje punčke.

The first one was made by AngelPearls

The second one by Kimonos

And the third one by gazellejewelry

Thanks everyone!

Oh, and I almost forgot: just 27 more days till March (=spring!).

Ah, saj res, skoraj bi pozabila, samo 27 dni še manjka do marca (in pomladi)!
