Inspiration #5 - Tamar Mogendorff

posted by julie on Monday, June 19, 2006

Ok, ok, enough with the deep thing...time for some more inspiration in the form of Tamar Mogendorff - she makes beautiful handmade dolls - "the dolls are made from vintage fabric like old linen, antique embroidery and pashmina, among others."
I love that they are not 'perfect', with rough stitching and edges. I also like the neutral colours that she uses a lot.

    Those are very inspirational, I especially like the mice (?) and sea horses.

    How cute! The best things are made from the older ones, aren't they?

    These are wonderful. I can't decide which ones I prefer, though I do keep going back to those two kissing swans... oh, and the sea horses too.
    take care, gracia
    (PS. Thanks for the link to me in your side bar too!)

    Oh yeah! I love this woman. I've been a bit obsessed with her for the past year. I must see some of her creations in real life.
