Mom asked me for a shoe …or bootie …these remind me of the shoes an old school friend used to wear ..I will never forget the day he started school and he wore these suede shoe type boots …
Anyway I was inspired to make them for Shadow ..my newest baby of course I sold them and now need to make more ..but these are the Sasha size …and they also are available in baby / toddler size
Working like crazy to get customer commissions done
Amd I want to take some new designs with me next month at Sasha goes to the Races
Dead exited about that x
But I have added a couple of painted boots and shoes to my Etsy shop
https://sleepingelf.etsy.com/listing/1886475061
I finished these 2 yesterday… and I am delighted !
I bloody loved doing these
When I’m repainting them I like to keep as much of the original face as possible and work from that
With Frida , I have to remove the lips and eyebrows and go from their .. but I like to keep them as much Sasha as possible ❤️
After years of really disliking the Sasha baby’s .. I’m really enjoying them now , I know a lot of people love them , but I found them really hard to dress and pose with their bent limbs and tuck necks …
I shall be sorry to see these 2 go
But I just may have bought another baby to turn into. Wobbler
And I can’t wait untill she arrives
Cora incoming … and I have plans 🤣🤣🤣
… it’s cost me over £15.00 just for the tools to set these little
Babies … and it’s taken me years to find the correct size
But I’m over the moon !
Tiny metal presstuds like the old Sasha shoes
I also haven’t posted Cubby …I have wanted a Caleb for years …so I did , again I saw them at the convention …and I knew I loved the older darker resin boy …so …I sold some of my dolls ..that I planned to sell ..and bought ..Caleb and the 2 old Serie Sasha …now I just have to sell the rest of the dolls I no longer want
2025 …get rid of the dolls I’m no longer collecting
Make more miniatures
And as far as Sasha go …I want a red haired boy
My 3 lost boys …Tootles ,Cubby and Michael ..
My Serie girls Grace and Lily …and Sprout getting in on the scene as he has a new outfit and teddy amd he is feeling loved since he was left behind …once ..just once and he has never let me forget it !
amazing outfits by MinniebloomersDesign on Etsy
Boots by Me …SleepingElf
Knitwear ..adapted Sasha pattern by Kirsin Maw and Sasha “ Saigheadan ”more than somewhat “
A couple of days after Grace came , Lily arrived …another older Gotz
I fell in love with her face too ..it’s strange I didn’t think I liked the Gotz Sasha ..I was always a Trendon fan …but when I went to the convention October …my mind was changed
This girl has the most beautiful coloured eyes , and her hair is so soft
DEC 2024
I can’t believe I forgot to post these ( well I can ..life went a little crazy just before Christmas ..long story short Paul had a pacemaker fitted Friday 3rd ) looking forward to a healthy happy new year !
Any how we were visiting Worcester for the Christmas Market and I couldn’t help but notice this little girl on EBay ..you know what it’s like ,I couldn’t stop thinking about her ,I kept looking and was pretty sure I could fix her …so the day before we came home …I bought her ..She is just beautiful, tiny little face , she is a Gotz Serie No Navel 69 or 70 ..
Her leg joints were broken , and she has a hair cut at the front ..but Florence let me have the hair from her Frida doll , so I knew I could replace it , and of course she needed to be restrung ..no problem there
When she arrived I was bowled over ..I planned to do her after Christmas ..but I couldn’t
With Paul’s help ..I worked out a way of fixing a new leg joint ..
Although next time I may just use the large cotter pin embedded in the apoxy sculpt
Sadly this poor girl had hair fall ..so she had to be wigged
I was asked for a Frida Sasha …I wanted to capture the iconic look of Frida
Before these are her auction photos and her face , with the paint removed and her wig removed
So exited to add Michael and Florrie to the fold ….Michael has the most beautiful face and hair …a little caving around the neck …nothing I can’t fix …Florrie …when I saw her auction pictures I knew I had to have her
I had been to the most wonderful Sasha gathering in the next village, I met some wonderful people and collected Michael ..amd that’s when I saw her … a “Velvet” …I fell in love with her face , so I was hoping to transform this poor little waif into my own version of
Arnt the beautiful Velvet …this is Florrie after
And I forgot …Frida !
Another rescue …poor girl had a dink on her face and a real bad hair cut , which is tragic as her hair is amazing , so I piled it up high for now and her curls cover it ..shes a real beauty
