2011-06-25T06:18:00.000-07:00

It is very interesting to me after so many years I've been making dolls still all of them are so different to me. Usually I start with an idea next thing I know it takes me totally somewhere else. A beautiful journey .I do not like to create a doll twice I feel so different each time I make one I know I'm not much of words I don't like to write and it is very hard for me to write on my blog or FBP I much rather show pictures of what I'm doing. Things sure have changed over the years with the Internet reaching so many more mothers wanting that perfect companion for there child I can just imagine where my little darlings go, hopefully peace and love will surround them and bring happiness to a lot of children .I can assure you by the time they are leaving to go on there big journey it is with lots of positive energy and tender loving care

From Fairywooldolls

Sisters
If sisters were flowers, I'd still pick you.
I'd let the sun shine so you'd never be blue.
I'd show the world how beautifully you grew,
with bright bold colors and strength through & through.

If sisters were flowers, I'd pick you right away.
Because you cheer me up and bring smiles each day.
If sisters were flowers, for what it's worth.
I'd always pick you ... the best sister on earth.

A Story Alexander Wrote

Once upon a time, in a far-away land, there lived a little princess. She took care of all the fairies, dwarves and other magical creatures of the forest. They loved her because of this. But one day, she was gone! No trace left, no evidence whatsoever. The villagers suspected that the evil wizard in the mansion on the dark cliff was responsible, so they went out to investigate. When they got there, they had to contend with various tricks and traps designed to capture them too! There was a three-headed wolf and poison tipped magical homing arrows and even a giant boulder, but they were able to get through it okay. In the deepest, darkest corner of the mansion, the found they wizard trying to get the magical gem off of the princess's necklace! Seeing the brigade of fair-folk opposing him, he grabbed his magic wand and waved it around, turning it into a blade of steel! Just when all hope seemed lost, the princess sneaked away and called her magical flying unicorn, who burst through the stained-glass window and kicked the wand out of the wizard's hands! Riding off on the unicorn's back, the princess and her friends flew off back to the Garden of Nature where they would be safe...

Meanwhile, the wizard, angry about his defeat, decided to play a bit dirty. He waved his wand, it sprayed a black flame from its tip as he twirled it over a monstrous ogre. It grew to gargantuan size! The wizard was sure that this would get the magic gem back to his castle so he could power his army of stone warriors to ensure his conquest of the Garden of Nature. A terrible black fog covered the ground as the wizard approached the forest from the wastes that he built his castle on. The fairies and gnomes knew what was happening so they prepared the defenses to keep the ogre from taking the princess. The trees swayed and the ground shook as the beast stomped through the forest, swatting away the arrows the brave dwarves were shooting at it. The princess thought of a plan. She would ride on her unicorn and have it stand on and fly around the ogre, dodging its attacks. As she did this, the dumb ogre struck its own head trying to get the princess! The wizard tried to convince the ogre to ignore her, but the beast simply fell to the ground, unconscious. The fog faded as the wizard gave up and ran like a bratty child back to his lair. The fair-folk cheered for the princess and her unicorn. The forest was saved!

The doll as a companion of the child

What does a doll for a baby? It is his silent companion, who witnessed everything is happy - to be sad - laugh or cry to. This means that witnessed the child with his imaginative experiences, moods and feelings in the doll again, or even. The doll laughs, cries, is happy or sad.

Who is now the ever smiling face of a stiff perfect presents in detail shaped plastic doll that can understand that it is difficult for a child's imagination, such a doll zb leave to grieve. Waldorf dolls are designed for precisely this reason only very cautiously. Eyes and mouth are only hinted at, there are no long eyelashes, or googly eyes.

If a child with such a doll "communicate", the fantasy forces, they can literally participate in all life experiences can be - even in their emotional range.

The material is another aspect is the softness and warmth of the cloth doll, she is often put in the arm ... bedded with the doll ... is pressed and cuddled. it consists not of cold plastic but made from natural materials. Body and head are covered with solid processed cotton tricot, my Waldorf dolls are stuffed with pure wool. For the hair, I use either mohair or wool, but also smooth embroidered hair. The clothes are mostly made from materials organic cotton. My Fairywooldolls can be washed if it is too heavily soiled . I will post instructions letter
