Haroshki (c) dolls

[shutterbloom.livejournal.com]

Hi everybody! :) I just found your community today and thought maybe I might show you my dolls :) These are my creations, I called them "Haroshki" (c) in Russian, I would translate this as "cuties" into English but not quite... I was inspired by russian Matryoshka (Babushka) dolls and Japanese Kokeshi dolls :) Look what happened :)

1. Anastasia - she is a dreamer (1 and 3/4")







2. Libi - kind and caring, good talking to :) (2")




3. babies (no names yet, they are going as gifts to my pregnant friends :)) (2")



4. Tatako - smiling and dancing girl, always happy and positive. She can talk to animals :) (2 and 1/4")



5. Nani - sea travelers helper :) Heals from sea sickness, helps to find right way to home :) (2 and 1/4")



6. Glamourous friends :) No names, no particular skills or purpose :) Just talking by phone, visiting saloons and shopping :) (these are really small - blonde is 1 and 1/4")



7. Aoki - fashion designer (2")



8. Agafia - village worker :) (2 and 1/4")



9. Edna - just men eater :) (3 and 3/8")



10. Anna - dramatic actress (3 and 3/4")



All figurines have wooden bodies, covered with acrylic paint and finished with sealer, there are some different details on each of them as you see - beads, Fimo plastic, felt, dawn etc.)



Hope you liked them :) I do :)
