It's black, it's white ... it's a new doll!

Monique is a special girl. She loves night just as much as she loves day and she could never decide whether she loves white more than black. This is why she simply adores everything in this color combination: pandas, zebras and penguins, vanilla ice-cream with chocolate, chess, crossword puzzles and black & white TV. She enjoys playing the piano and she even considered hanging a pirate flag in her room.

This handmade art doll is approximately 15'' (38 cm) tall and is made of nearly 5000 stitches. Her dress is made out of reused fabric which used to be trousers. There is a small flower on her cap, which is also made of the same labyrinth fabric.

Monique je prav posebna punca. Noč ima prav tako rada kot dan in nikakor se ne more odločiti, ali ima najraje belo ali črno. Prav zaradi tega obožuje vse v tej barvni kombinaciji: pande, zebre in pingvine, vanilijin sladoled s čokolado, šah in križanke ter stare časopise in črno-belo televizijo, njen dan pa ne mine brez da bi obrnila list notnega črtovja in zaigrala na klavirske tipke. Razmišljala je celo o tem, da bi v sobi obesila piratsko zastavo, vse v maniri jina in janga.

Monique je visoka 38 centrimetrov in narejena iz približno 5000 zank. Njena obleka je sešita iz ponovno uporabljenega blaga, ki je nekoč sestavljalo prav posebne hlače. Njeno kapo krasi majhna roža iz istega blaga.

Did someone say steampunk?

Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, which involves an era or world where steam power is still widely used — usually the 19th century and often Victorian era Britain. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology or futuristic innovations as Victorians may have envisioned them; in other words, based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, art, etc.

This is why steampunk dolls are usually made off metals like copper, brass, steel and iron, rivets, gears and cogs, wood, leather and glass. But have you ever seen a steampunk art doll 100% made of yarn? Here it is!

Victoria loves reading books and is passionate about all kinds of machines. She's dreaming of becoming an inventor just like her big idol Leonardo da Vinci. She is approximately 14'' (35 cm) tall and it took me 17 hours to finish it.

Steampunk ali parni punk, kot bi mu lahko rekli po slovensko, je žanr znanstvene fantastike. Dogaja se v svetu in času, v katerem se še vedno redno uporablja parni pogon (ponavadi gre za viktorijansko Britanijo iz 19. stoletja), vključuje pa futuristične inovacije in razno tehnologijo. Prav zaradi tega so punčke, narejene v stilu steampunka, najpogosteje sestavljene iz raznih kovin, kot so baker, medenina in železo, zakovic, kolesja, zobnikov, lesa, usnja in stekla. Ste kdaj že videli tako punčko, narejeno iz preje? Tukaj je!

Victoria rada bere knjige, strasno pa se navdušuje tudi nad vsemi vrstami naprav. Sanja o tem, da bi postala inovatorka, prav tako kot njen idol Leonardo da Vinci. Visoka je 35 cm, za njo sem pa porabila kar 17 ur. 

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.

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.

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.

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 :)
