Tissue doll

Instant bride doll which is made of paper tissue.
Do you laugh about its rawness and roughness?


When I was a child I used to make various things of tissue.
My parents were poor, so they could not buy me enough toys.

Children of today have a lot of toys. That may make their creativity less.

Roses of tissue.


Old days, we played with simple and naive things.

A hand puppet of gloves and a hanky mouse.

The head of John

I'm making a new life-sized doll who will be 5 feet 7 inches tall.
The hair is a wig (cap?) of furry fabric.





My house is too small to keep a big doll. So I make his body after the sales contract.
The body is almost same as 6 feet doll.

This is for sale only in Japan because of high shipping.

Addition:
After all, he became 6 feet 1 inch tall.
Detail is here.

White-eye

White-eye is a small bird with yellow green body, whose eye is on a white ground.
Why not make a bird of felt?

This is 10cm length.

Sew the body except the tail. Turn inside out.
Glue the tail and iron it. Then trim it.


The beak doesn't need seam allowance.
Glue it on the top of the face. Some glue makes the beak hard.
Stuff the body with polyesterfiberfill.


Glue white and black circles on the face. You may use beads as eyes.
Cut the wings and glue or sew them.

Wrap a wire with a tape.
Bundle 4 wires together. It is a leg.
Make 2 holes on the belly. Stick the legs.
