Presenting Viggo; a new tiny doll!

Hi everybody!

I am happy to finally be able to give you a first peak at the new male tiny I’ve been working on.
His name is Viggo.

He will be presented on a male version of the tiny body as a default, but all heads in the tiny line can fit on any of the bodies.

Speaking of bodies; the male body is in the works and I hope to be able to present images of it shortly.

If all goes well we will open an order period for all three tinies later this fall, probably around the first of October.
Keep an eye on the order tab.

Back from Dollcon.DK

We are back, tiered but happy, after a weekend full of wonderful people and beautiful dolls. After years of uncertainty and cancellations due to the pandemic, the convention finally happened and I am so happy we were able to go.

I got to show off both my tinies and the orc to people in real life for the first time and it was very rewarding. Not only were they well received and that gave some much needed doll making motivation, but more importantly I got to see how people viewed and interacted with them, something that can’t really be done on a screen. This gives me invaluable information to help guide me in my future projects and I am very grateful for the interest shown and all the interesting doll making discussions.

Many thanks to all who was there, you guys are awesome!

Ushurz, an Ork art doll.

This is a bit of a side project, but I made him to match my tiny dolls so I think he still deserves to be shown off here. And I am very happy with how he turned out.
He is about 28cm tall.

This doll is made mainly out of papier maché with wooden balls used for some of his joints and polymer clay for his head and hands.

His accessories are made from worbla and wood.

One day I hope make a castable version of him, but for now he will remain a one off art doll.

Two new Crochet Patterns

There are two new crochet patterns added to our Patterns page.
These are made to fit my Tiny dolls.

The first pattern is for a dress with a rounded neckline and lace skirt with a pinapple pattern.
The second is a matching petticoat.

Both patterns include a written pattern as well as a diagram.

I hope you’ll have fun with it.

Introducing the Pattern Page

After a lot of work and a heroic effort by JennyM there is now a place for patterns asociated with this blog. You find the link to it in the upper right corner.

Here we will add patterns for things to make that will fit the Lillim dolls, but you are of course welcome to use the patterns to craft  items for similarly sized dolls as well.

We start out with a few crochet patterns for my tiny girls Milly and Betty.

The patterns here are free to use for personal projects, but are not intended for commercial use. I humbly ask that you respect this and I hope you find the patterns useful.

Happy crafting!

Betty and Milly. Two tiny ladies.

I am happy to present these two.

They are both home cast in polyurethane resin and they share the same body and headcap, only their faces are different.

First out is Betty.

And here is Milly

Note: Millys teeth are not in the sculpt, but simply painted into the gap in the mouth. A shadow line there instead would make the mouth look closed.

Images of the body from different angles:

Additional images of the body in various poses:

Height: 23cm
Eyes in pictures: 6mm oval glass flat back. (8mm eyes with small iris will work as well.)
Head circumference: 11cm
Waist: 9cm
Bust: 10cm
Hips: 11cm
Foot: 32mm x 14mm

So, it’s 2021 now, huh?

I think I speak for most of us when saying that the past year was not the best in human history.
I’ve realized I had come to rely on the deadlines of conventions. With everything cancelled or postponed, things pretty much stalled.
Last spring, when there still seemed like the was a chance of at least some events happening I did cast a couple of my tiny dolls and while I have had a good time playing around with them for myself and getting to know the quirks of their bodies, I never really took any good photos and never presented them as finished.

Now, if we didn’t know it before, the past year have taught us that things never turn out as intended and even the best of plans can fall flat, but despite that I will take the risk and tell you a little about what is currently planned for the year to come, trusting whole heartedly in you discretion to not take this too seriously or hold it against me when it fails. Deal?

All right:
1. Good pictures of the tinies needs to happen and be published. I have no excuse for why this has not happened yet.
2. At least a few artist cast of these tinies need to get on to my Etsy shop as to be able to say that they are in fact available for purchase. This is a bigger deal than it sounds like as I still don’t have packaging materials figured out for them, but it needs doing.
3. I have started work on a boy torso option for the minies. The upper torso parts will be interchangeable, making it possible to make a small busted girl as well.
4. I wouldn’t be an artist if I didn’t get sidetracked, so I have also started another doll project. Those of you who hang out on DoA already knows about this one, for the rest of you; I’ll present him here when is gets to a presentable stage.
5. Patterns! I intend to start making some patterns that fit the dolls I make available through this blog.

Doesn’t sound too bad, as far as to do lists go, right?

May 2021 be a good doll year for us all!

Back from Jointed Hearts 2019

Just a quick post to thank everyone for a very nice con.
The exhibition was amazing, as usual and it was lovely to see all the creativity and lovely dolls. The sales room was packed with pretty things and skilled crafters.

Thank you all again!

And, because I managed to forget to take any pictures at all, the only thing relevant I have is this photo of the mugs I made and donated as lottery prizes.
