Today let’s visit a Swedish Thrift Shop together, and take a look at what can be found on the shelves. I find vintage things beautiful, and full of inspiration. Sometimes they’re not that old, but still, they’re here on the shelves waiting for a new home… So tempting, so very tempting. When I started this […]

Momcraft | The Christmas Angels
The Christmas Angels are gathering together to sing and celebrate Christmas and winter. They are all made by my mom. When mom decides to sew the year’s angel doll (it is becoming quite a tradition) she is never happy with just one or three dolls… …she gets into it and makes a whole tribe of […]
Swedish Easter Witches
This is the Easter table I prefer, filled with paint, fabric, glue, feathers and other craft supplies. I bought some wooden sculptures in a plastic bag at a thrift shop last year, thinking I would do something fun with them. I’ve been wanting to sit down and paint and dress them for a while now […]
Pullip Doll Party – admiring them with big anime e
Just look at this beautiful Pullip Doll, isn’t she adorable? She belongs to a friend that has a small collection of three Pullip dolls, a brand from Japan. I had to take some photos because I think they are just so cute! If you’re not into dolls, skip this post. I have never meet a […]
The Little Mermaid Doll is sailing
As soon as I got an invitation to Michelle Geller’s Mermaid Swap I had the vision that I wanted to create a little mermaid doll. I kind of saw her in my head, and I think she turned out very well. Her painted face is difficult to photograph because it looks streaked, but in reality […]
Handmade Cloth Dolls now with clothes
I made a couple of little personalities this summer, but I never got around to finish them. Or at least, feel that they were finished. Charlotta is a white cloth doll with stripy hair and embroidered eyes. I love how she looks, but the ballet skirt I made her looks really cold now in the […]
Angel Doll – with petticoats
I’ve been wanting to do more dolls this whole year, but only one has been completed, and that is because I had a deadline. Deadlines are great for people like me, that likes to procrastinate. This was for a contest/exhibition of angels that started the first of Advent. Related PostsMend in March: Jeans What I […]
Too Old for Dolls
Are you too old to play with dolls? Or collect them, like them and comb their hair still? If not (and I don’t think we’ll ever be too old for play), here are some great inspiration for playing with dolls for real: Juju Vail’s dolls Lynne Perella has invited artist to do something with a […]

After I finished Emelie, the art doll with an ironed on face, I made another one since I printed a couple of faces on fabric from one sheet of paper. Related PostsArt Doll | A Second Art Doll is Born Art Doll | Maj my third art doll Adolescent | Assemblage Doll Painting II Art […]
Art Doll Emelie with an ironed on face
At Easter I printed some different faces on fabric (my parents has a great printer) to use for my art dolls. But the art dolls turned to be totally different than the previous ones… This is Emelie, she doesn’t really have an iron face, right? I think she looks very happy and sweet. Like candy! […]

A long and crafty life
What is the ingredients in a long and crafty life do you think? Same as in any long and good life, plus the creativity perhaps? :-) Healthy food, exercise, friends, inspiration, love? I dunno. I have to think about this one some more. But it is a good title for a post, right? Related PostsBeyond […]
