Miss. Robin

Greetings friends!

This is the Last doll of this project, and this completes the entire set that I was planning.

As I had mentioned in my last two blogs I am going to reveal where, and how I was inspired to make these three dolls. Before I proceed meet Miss.Robin. 

Few days ago I decided that I should try designing  some dolls, but was not sure how to begin. When I was giving a thought about this it occurred to me that I should go to the library and find some storybooks from the children's section. I know many designers get their inspiration from story books and fairy tales. So I followed the same procedure as well.

When I was browsing through the books I found this book from Mabel Lucie Attwell. Unfortunately this book in written in Spanish could not understand a thing, there were no English version in this particular library. I still borrowed the book since I liked all the illustrations and got inspired. I have heard about the author before but this is the first time I got to look at her book.

(Mabel Lucie Attwell was a British illustrator. She was known for her cute, nostalgic drawings of children, based on her daughter, Peggy. Her drawings are featured on many postcards, advertisements, posters, books and figurines.Wikipedia)

Among all the illustrations in the book, this one is my favorite, so decided to make three dolls a boy and two girls and make them pose and take a picture just like how it's in the book.

Look at these little rascals how they are whooping and guffawing about something. How I miss those childhood days.

I am happy the way it has turned out and this project has inspired me to design some more dolls.

I am already hatching a plan about my next project which is also inspired by another storybook which I will be revealing once the dolls are complete.

Till then 

You stay classy craft world!
