Bozeek!


I recently completed creating this cloth baby doll for a little girl I used to take care of, she is very precious to me, so I wanted to make something special for her. She named the doll Bozeek which I think is the perfect name!


"Bozeek"
cloth doll about 14" from head to toe

face detail



The pattern for this doll was inspired by a doll my grandmother made in the 50s,
I did a post featuring my Grandmothers doll a few weeks ago. I had so much fun making this doll! I plan on creating more and sending them out into the world through my shop! I think there is something so romantic about the simplicity and sincerity of a handmade doll. The magic found in plastic toys pales in comparison to a hug-able, hand stitched doll. After searching the internet high and low I found a vintage pattern much like the one my grandmother used here

I found this simple and adorable butterfly at the jewelry shop and epoxy-ed it onto the frame, I love all the dimension it adds

This is yet another piece that is on the easel at the moment, working with oils I have definitely learned the value of always having multiple pieces going. This painting is not fully finished but almost, she was born out of a sketch I did while sitting in my favorite breakfast spot in Park Slope, Brooklyn

Thank you for sticking with me!

Sorry I have not been posting consistently, my hubby and I are moving to Bucks County P.A. While it is exciting things are also a little hectic so thanks for sticking with me while I transition. I do have some exciting new pieces I am working on!

I just uploaded a bunch of older paintings I did in my shop for sale, Including my beloved "Don't Forget the Pigs" My hubby and I are moving to P.A. and I have decided to mark a few things down because I really want them in good homes and not risk damage in the move.
