Fabulous Thin Man

This fabulous fellow was a present for a little two year old girl from her Mum. He was a delight to make and such a personality! 🙂

Joy Doll

This doll was made from a drawing of the character Joy in the Pixar story that the customer had made for her friend.

He has rusty brown hair and cat ears on the top of his head and a tail of the same colours.

Green Foot

This is the latest doll I made for my wonderful repeat customer Paul. I love it that every make is so different and this chap was no exception to make in the fun department! 🙂

Teacher Doll

This doll was made for a teacher as an end of term gift. She had to be made smaller than my normal dolls, because the customer wanted her to sit easily on the teacher’s desk, so I had to use smaller hooks than normal to put her features together.

She has a beige, long-sleeve, hooded jumper on (although the hood is not visible in the photo) and black trousers and shoes. She has blonde hair and blue eyes with highlights in them. She is smiling and has pink lips.

Her chestnut brown hair is just visible underneath the head scarf and she has large almond brown eyes with light dots in them. She is wearing brown shoes.

Green Girl

This doll is based on an Arabian Princess and was made for a little girl. Her clothing was quite intricate to make, with all of the embellishments on her dress being sewn on.

Ulster Uniform King

This doll represents the same guy as the King below, but this time Paul asked that I dress him in an Ulster Police uniform. This took a bit of time, but it was great fun to make. I used metallic silver crochet yarn for the various buttons on the uniform.

The trousers are the same colour, as is the hat, which has a black brim. He is wearing black shoes and a black tie. The lapels and front of the cap bear red flashes with the logo of a harp on them. His hair is long and brown and he has a brown pencil moustache and green eyes.

Another School Uniform Doll

And this is the latest school uniform doll from my lovely repeat customer Alisha. These dolls all seem to take on personalities of their own when I make them. I never know what they are going to be like until they start looking at me.

Checked Shirt Guy

This is the latest manga project from my wonderful repeat customer Paul. I had some good fun with this one and I really like his attitude!

Two More School Uniform Dolls

Two School Uniform Dolls

This lovely lady Alisha asked me to make four school uniform dolls that she was going to give to the various schools with hampers for each one. I really had a lot of fun making these and I watched all the series of Happy Valley while doing so, so they will always stick in my memory!

Flip Flop Guy

This manga art doll is a bit bigger than the others. In the 30-40 cm range, while they are all 20-30 cm. The process for making them is exactly the same, but the yarn weight is different with the bigger toys using a thicker yarn. This is another one for Paul.

A crochet doll of a manga character. this one is wearing blue trousers and black triangular flip-flops. He has on a brown jumper with thin black stripes and is wearing a white shirt under it with the collar sticking out. He has wild brown hair sticking up and blue eyes.

Black Tracksuit Guy

This is another of the toys I made for my manga art customer Paul. These are a lot of fun to do, although I didn’t notice his ponytail at first and had to put it in later 🙂

Pink Manga Guy

This was another one for my regular customer Paul. This chap has a tail and ears along with his lovely pink outfit. I make all the clothing separate to the body of the dolls so it can take some time, but is very rewarding.

A crochet doll based on a manga character. He has a dark pink top with ruffles, light pink shorts, pink socks and brown boots. He has brown hair with a pink fringe in front and is wearing brown ears. He has pink goggles on and very blue eyes.

He has curly yellow hair, yellow irises and thick, dark brown eyebrows. He is wearing an orange jumper and blue trousers

Face Mask Guy

This is another toy made from a manga drawing for Paul. This chap has a facemask/mouth guard that can be removed. I used felt for the face again to get the details right, although I am terrible with the glue gun – it goes everywhere! 🙂

Ollie

This doll was created from a manga artwork that a friend of Paul, the customer, had created. I used felt for the face here to try to get more of the anime look. Ollie went on a journey all the way to the friend in the USA. Ollie was the first doll I created for Paul, but not the last as you’ll see on this page, and I am always happy to take on his next project as they are such fun to work with.

Little Gurus

These little men were actually representations of gurus for the lady who requested them for a newborn. We had to make some changes after they were finished, replacing the mouths with felt mouths and so on, but she was lovely and it was nice helping her to get the look she wanted.
