Sunday Story - Call me thrifty...

Growing up in communistic Czechoslovakia, I was trained from an early age to save all scraps, fabric or paper, and then create something new out of them. My grandmother would not let me throw away a sheet of paper until I have drawn or written on both sides... It might sound a bit extreme to you but it was actually very eco friendly and effective approach. I often watch in shock and horror how much paper can especially small kids waste and no one says a word. Well, I am still saving scraps (not as much as before) but still... I believe that with a little bit of fantasy, you can make fabulous stuff from them... This doll is an example. I cut my old and rather tattered jeans short and did not have the heart to throw the trousers away and now I use part of it to make a doll. The flower in her hair is a lucky find, it peeled off someone's hair clip and ended up on the floor in the school where I taught, well, it looks pretty in my doll's hair now....

The new Pauper Princess...

This is my latest shabby chic doll "Pauper Princess" with her pet lion...

My brand new "Little Miss Chanel"

This is a brand new type of doll. She is the first hand printed one from my studio.

G.L.I.M.P.S. of my studio - Doll by Julie Arkell

This is one of my precious items. It is original doll by Julie Arkell and I got her from my lovely colleagues in the Art Department when I was leaving my school in London.

NAME my doll to WIN it...

My brand new RETRO dolls need names.
I have already named so many dollies in my shop that I am running out of idea. Therefore, I am offering the chance to my lovely BLOG FOLLOWERS to come up with a funky retro name for my first doll type. Please comment below this blog post. All names will be considered next Sunday (9th June) and the author of the chosen name will receive one swimmer doll.

So, what is her name???

From my Archive... Doll Brooches

Selling on Etsy means, taking a lot of good photos of my handmades and therefore is my photo archive ever growing... Every time I get lost in one of my photo folders, I feel sorry that I cannot show all the pictures. Therefore I have decided to post a collage from my archive...

She arrived - my very own Timohandmade doll!!!

My lovely little doll made it safely from a dear friend in Israel!!! Imaculatelly wrapped and SO cute!!! She received a warm welcome from the Cut and Tear dolls. She will be happy hear.
