Introducing Milky Robot

I've always been a big Blythe Doll lover, I love their creepy cute expressions, big, cold eyes and lollipopesque (ha, is that a word?) stature. 

I have three of my own that I intend on customising in the next few months and showing you all the progress pictures. In the mean time though, I want to introduce you to one of my wonderfully talented sponsors, Milky Robot. She customises Blythe dolls and makes the most adorable doll dresses! I'm so in awe of her Blythe dolls, she has seriously inspired me to start the process of customising my own!

 Hello! I have been active with Blythe's and customizing them for about 4 years now! I started customizing my own dolls fairly quickly after discovering these big headed girls and became addicted! This year I took a plunge and started airbrushing most of my work and I'm in love with the color range I can get on them. Fantasy haired Blythe's are my favorite to work on, they make a fun canvas and I can really go crazy! I have been sewing for Blythe for a couple years now but only the past year took it more serious and started sewing each week to fill up my shop. They are the perfect sized doll to sew for and have similar bodies to the vintage Skipper dolls.

Other than Blythe customizing and sewing, I also design and make plush monsters, handspun yarn and other yarn-y goods! I'm obsessed with crafts and I have at least one project I'm doing daily!

Wednesday Art feature: Nekranea

I'm going to try and post a new art or craft feature each Wednesday from now on.
I thought i'd start off with a completely inspiring and talented artist named Nekranea.
I first stumbled upon her DeviantArt account a few months ago and immediately fell in love with the creatures she makes.

Nekranea is a spanish artist, she specialises in one of a kind art dolls made from polymer clay (painted with acrylics) and needle felting. She displays her work beautifully in woodland scenes, making them look like real creatures.

Nekranea is not just a talented doll maker, she is also a great illustrator and has a shop where you can purchase prints, clothing, decorations and lots of other things featuring her artwork.

 

If you want to see more work by Nekranea check out her personal website, shop, Deviant Art and blog.

Cart Before The Horse

Today, while I was procrastinating on etsy, I was fortunate enough to stumble upon the art of Cart Before the Horse (I love the shop name too!).


They are a team of two artists who make art dolls, paper doll patterns and decorations.


They make some amazingly detailed art dolls, which are hand painted. I think I'm in love with the conjoined bunny rabbits - I must add them to my birthday wish list!

They also have two blogs, check them out here and here.
