I won't go too much into the reason for the souvenirs this time. I'll just say that the kids' dolls 'went on vacation', and you can check the previous post,or THIS ONE for details.
I mentioned some of the countries the dolls 'went' to. (They didn't really go anywhere. But the kids thought they did.) Ivy was obsessed with China. Her dolls,and Fuzzy's too, went there once. Now what should they bring back from China? Well Blue,Ivy's doll brought back Lucky Money,or Red Envelopes for everybody. You can read about those HERE.
Blue brought back a traditional Chinese dress,with a Mandarin collar and real working frog closures. (Yes, I actually made a tiny Kelly doll sized dress like that. I don't know how I did it.) I didn't find it when I packed up Ivy's things, but I found the matching purse.
I pulled the draw string strangely I guess. It doesn't really have that weird lump on the top left. |
This one is Fuzzy's.
This is Blue's.
It's the thought that counts.
I can't tell you how I put the fur faces on those guys because I can't remember! I know they have felt bodies and vintage green glass bead eyes and stitched on nostrils and mouths.
I forgot to add this picture originally.
It's two necklaces Blue brought home. The green one is supposed to be a jade necklace from China. the other one is on wire, and I can't remember where it's supposed to be from. Yes. I know it has one wrong bead on it. That's because I found two or three beads that were supposed to be on it,kept dropping them and refinding them,and at one point I found the odd one and thought it was the right one,and put it on!No fear though. I later removed it and replaced it with the right bead.
Tomorrow we'll tackle more souvenirs from other places. We're hitting some interesting stuff now...I hope.
Awsome.
