Belle

Salaam/Peace everyone!

Been AWOL for a while but I have a real beauty for you.

Belle

(meaning: a beautiful girl or woman)

Been wanting to make her for a while.

So happy to have completed her.

Lovely curls!

Handstitched golden shoes.

Love the fabric and embroidery.

Of course a rose had to be included somewhere!

Hope you like her as much as I do!

Sneaky Peek

Can you guess who I'm making?

So Torba Market has sadly ended, but the good news is,

it will be back in November!

I will, as usual, be slowly working on a new collection

of Little Damsels and be uploading them once

completed. Do check back and see what I've

come up with. If you need to contact me then do

so at littledamsels@hotmail.com

Clara

One of my daughters recommended I watch

The Nutcracker & The Four Realms last week.

She said I could get inspired by the costumes worn by

the lead actress. She wasn't wrong!

Clara

(meaning: bright, shining, clear)

She'll be on sale tomorrow at my stall,

Friday 29th March.

Hope to see you there!



Greta Thunberg (Special Edition doll)

Greetings!

I'm sure you are aware of the little firecracker

Greta Thunberg who is raising awareness about

the Climate crisis. I love her image and how she conducts

herself in interviews with such maturity.

So I thought I'd sew a Special Edition

Greta OOAK doll.

Greta Thunberg

(meaning of Greta: Pearl)

School strike for climate sign along with Greta.

She was only 15 years old when she took a brave step.

Her dress, tights and shoes are made from recycled garments.

Woolly hat and plaits!

She seems to always carry a rucksack with her.

Two of her speeches that are folded up and kept in her bag.

She'll be at my stall this Friday from 3pm to around midnight at

Torba Farmers Market which has changed it's timings to

coincide with QIFF (Qatar International Food Festival).



Coraline

Greetings!

Have you read the book 'Coraline' by Neil Gaiman?

Or perhaps you've seen the movie directed by Henry Selick ?

Well my next damsel is based on the movie version.

She has an interesting, quirky look to her.

Coraline

(meaning: diminutive of Coral)

Coat made from felt.

Her dragonfly pin.

With creepy doll.

If you want more info about this doll or any other

I have made, contact me on:

littledamsels@hotmail.com

She will be available at my stall on 23rd March.



Merida (Special Edition)

Salaam, peace!

I've been meaning to make this new damsel

for many months now, so I'm delighted to

have finished one for you all.

My version of 'Brave's'

Merida

(meaning: one who has achieved a high place of honour)

I enjoyed making her!

The arrow bag hidden beneath all that hair!

Sweet face, embroidered eyes and freckles.

Close-up of details.

Her accessories!

She'll be available at my stall next month, inshaAllah.
