THis is brilliant
"I love fairy tales, but I think that the idea of "beautiful = good" is one of the most insidiously damaging messages in fairy tales, even worse than "if you dress your rodents in cute little outfits and believe they sing in lisping English for your amusement, you'll marry a prince instead of being hauled off to the loony bin."
That being said I am having too much fun making Tilda's and coming up with dresses for them.
They remind me of boudoir dolls from the 20s-50's that would sit on grandma's dresser. Or the Dollies my Auntie had on her guest bed.
It all started with the Witchy-poo doll and is currently extended to 2 others
Sugar Plum has come home from her Christmas display and Spring Flowers has replaced her
I want to make another
and another
They really are addictive
And so easy to make. I should do a tutorial
I don't know, You tell me.

They are adorable! Why not!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the quote. I wonder why I never wanted to be a princess but always longed to be a witch with flying monkeys!! I made a few Tildas several years ago. I'd love to see a tutorial specially on the costume designs.
