Lazydoll

Sorry for not sharing for a while, we have been rather busy of late but intend to be in touch more often in the lead up to Christmas (eeek - it'll be here before you know it!)

I stumbled across this page this evening and just fell in love with the simple yet wonderfully artistic little characters that Lazydoll brings to life on her phone cases, purses/bags cushions and other fab hand made items.

One of my favourites is this delightful Red Riding Rood iphone case, just gorgeous:

Sock-tacular Sock Creations

These cheeky little characters and quirky sculptures are all cleverly (and beautifully) made from socks.

I could definitely welcome a few of these little chaps into my home. From the look on their faces I would be worried they may get up to a little mischief....

Inkyprints-originals

Fiona at Inkyprints-originals creates stunning hand-printed linocut designs.

Her work is so inspiring -  fabulous colours and quirky designs.

It is very hard to describe what Claire at Little Burrow Designs does.

She creates the most amazing, whimsical, perfect little pieces of artwork and jewellery using antique and vintage haberdashery and fabrics.

Claire collects the most adorable little curios and then incorporates them into her unique pieces of art, using stitching, embroidery, text, buttons and all sorts of bits and bobs.

A very beautiful and inspiring page - definitely worth a look.

Alice Darkling

Another fabulous page that I am always happy to see when it pops up in my newsfeed.

Alice of Alice Darkling hand paints nesting dolls and also creates painted artwork. Her work has a real fairy-tale feel to it - and looks like it has just stepped out of a children's story book.
Her nesting dolls are just gorgeous and beautifully painted - if you are a fan of Studio Gibli films then you must go and check out her Etsy shop!

As well as producing ready made items, Alice accepts custom requests.

Such a clever idea - love them .....

Maidolls

This is another of my favourites.

With a very distinctive, quirky style Melodie of Maidolls makes art dolls, original artwork and brooches.

Every one of her creations is packed full of character and life - they are just beautiful and so skilfully made. It is one of my aims to own one of her dolls.
