kewpie dolls

My new kawaii obsession, Kewpie dolls, I think its because they look like my daughter. I ordered a bunch on etsy. The first set came in the mail from earthgatherings http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=65279 . Too cute, I am going to make little outfits for them. They are about 4 inches tall. Love them. I wanted to make the Little outfits then sell them, but I like them too much. We will see.

More owls

I made more kawaii baby snow owls, there seemed to be a lot of interest in them, and besides that they are fun to make. Especially their little hats. The top hats are the cutest.

I started by making their hats before I even made the owls. I enjoyed working in miniature.

The hats took a while to make, I looked at a couple of Japanese craft books for reference, then invented my own take on them. They are made of felt, and cotton cloth.

Here are a couple of the finished owlets.

Well here it is my new blog, this is where I can talk all craft all the time (my "healthy" obsession). Any way I am really into everything kawaii right now, I love love love japanese craft books. I will be posting pictures of them so you can all drool over their kawaiiness. By the way if you don't already know, kawaii means cute in japanese.
Also I love vintage style things as well. Today I made a really great puppy vintage style. I will post his picture tomorrow. thank you for visiting :)
