At her request she wanted me to make a Tinkerbell cloth art doll for her 3rd Birthday that would be her very own :)




Here is Chiara Venice with her Tinker birthday present cloth art doll...she LOVED it!!!
I was so happy and relieved that she recognised her right away even though she is obviously very different to the original Disney version!
And her is the magical glitter Tinkerbell at Chiara Venice's birthday party as the cake topper or should I say cup-cake topper lol.

The Mad Hatter!


 Tarrant Hightopp, was a skilled hatter from the Hightopp Clan.
On the event of the "Horevendush Day" the White Queen visited his village. It was on this same day that the Red Queen had sent the Jabberwock to attack and destroy the village with the intention of killing the White Queen.

Tarrant helps steer the White Queens horse from danger thus saving her life only to return to his burned down village and realise there was naught survivors.

It is in this moment of realisation that something snaps in his mind...his picks up his fallen trademark hat and as he places it upon his head... a wry smile emerges on his face with a slight glow in his eyes... his insanity will never quite be the same from that day forward.....

"His loss led to Sadness... His Sadness led to Madness...."

Sweet Strawberry Shortcake

Oh! So Cute & Full Of Sweetness!!!

Here is my very own take on the cute classic - Strawberry Shortcake!
Sweet Strawberry Shortcake is waiting patiently to meet up with her friends Huckleberry Pie, Blueberry Muffin, Raspberry Tart, Plum Puddin' and toddler Apple Dumplin'. They have been acting suspicious all day and she is sure it is because they have planned a big surprise for her birthday! Let's hope that Peculiar Purple Pieman doesn't cause any trouble!!!
~~I'm bringing back a little of the classic and meshing it together with a little modern twist!~~


 Sweet Strawberry Shortcake stands approximately 34cm in height.
Her clothing has been originally designed and are made from high quality fabrics.
Her hair is made from soft textured yarn that has been felted and hand stitched into place.
Sweet Strawberry Shortcakes face has been drawn and painted completely free hand using mixed media and has been lovingly handmade with the utmost care & attention to detail.




 I love to create my own 3D caricatures of popular characters that everyone knows and loves.
I am always open to custom orders as long as there is availability, you can contact me if interested in this :)

My designs, patterns and style is constantly changing and progressing. I think this is very important as an artist to try and push yourself to limits you never thought you could reach and this also helps to keep my dolls new, exciting and truly One Of A Kind!!!

Till my next post, thanks for taking a peek into my dolly world :D
