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.

Sophie is hungry for knowledge

Sophie is not an average girl. She is interested in much more than just fashion, movies and boys. She is stubborn and headstrong and likes to think for herself. She is interested in philosophy, so she often spends long nights thinking about the world and the meaning of life, but you shouldn’t be surprised if you ever catch her studying astrophysics. She is hungry for knowledge! But you could simply explain all that with her name – it comes from the Greek word for wisdom.

Sofija ni povprečno dekle, saj jo poleg mode, filmov in fantov zanima še marsikaj drugega. Je trmasta in svojeglava. Zanima jo filozofija, zato dolge večere razmišlja o svetu in smislu življenja. Ne bodite pa presenečeni, če jo kdaj zalotite pri astrofiziki - Sofija je lačna znanja. Sicer pa vse pove že njeno ime, ki izhaja iz grške besede za modrost.

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. 

Night, stars and Lilith

I have finally finished it! It took me a while, but now she is here: me new handmade doll Lilith. She loves to sleep by day and count stars and create by night.

Končno mi je uspelo! Res, da je trajalo predolgo, ampak tukaj je najnovejša ročno izdelana punčka Lilith. Podnevi najraje spi, ponoči pa se povsem razživi, šteje zvezde in ustvarja.

New girl in the house!

She is finally here! Because I always do at least three projects at the same time, it took a bit longer for me to finish my gothic girl. This was also the first time that I have used safety eyes (yes, there were some problems :). And now I am wondering how to name her. Any ideas?



Končno je tu! Ker se vedno lotim preveč projektov hkrati, je trajalo kar nekaj časa, da sem punčko dokončala. Tokrat sem prvič uporabila varnostne oči (brez težav pri nameščanju seveda ni šlo), zdaj pa mi manjka le še ime za njo. Kaka ideja?
