the story
In 2017, my daughter Ada, baby Colette and I, went to spend 2 months back to my homeland for the summer. Their dad wasn’t able to join us and so I decided to make her a lookalike doll of him. We have travelled a lot with mini Mikey over the years. In 2022 Colette asked me a mum doll because baby Nico arrived and I wasn’t able to sleep with her anymore, so I did! I love creating these personalised dolls and so I am looking forward to make them for you :)
All the dolls are made from organic cotton, stuffed with wool, and hand-embroidered to make their special features. The clothes are assembled from recycled unused natural fabric (wool, linen, cotton)
Alongside the lookalikes, I have enjoyed making animals hand-dyed from plain organic cotton, to make extra cuddly creature for my kids and their friends. I will make small series of them over the year as time allow.
