FLOWER GALS SERIES

It has been a while since I made any cloth dolls thanks to being so busy at work. But the last two weeks, circumstances were such that I was forced to stay at home to recuperate and not able to leave the house. And it was a wonderful opportunity for me to catch up and I think creating these dolls helped me recover faster and made my 'home arrest' alot more bearable.

I decided to make these cloth dolls for older girls (at least 5 years and above) cuz I've incorporated my interest in beading into these dolls, just simple ones mind you to give these dolls some accessories.

This is the first one I made earlier and finished up recently. She's wearing a modernised red cheongsam with high slits at the sides. I added the black flower design to her cheongsam. She's also using a strand of bone beaded necklace and matching earrings. All the dolls in this series have pretty flowers in their hair. I was inspired by a girlfriend of mine who looked gorgeous with a flower in her hair the last time we girls met up.

The next one I made is this pretty doll in this very modern baby-doll blouse with knee length pants, looking very casual. She is also wearing a pretty flower-shaped shell pendant.

And my favourite of these three has to be this funky doll with her bright orange hair, green baby-doll dress and knee high orange boots. She is not ready yet cuz I have not found the perfect accessories for her yet.

I am so looking forward to making more of these cloth dolls cuz I have them ideas buzzing around. Once I have a few more, I'll launch them properly as part of my Flower Gals Series. Let me know if you're interested in any of these ladies.
