Kawaii Snegurochka & Snow Bunny

I finally got pictures of my 2 new dolls- sorry it took so long, it seems like I've been crazy busy lately!

This doll is inspired by the Russian fairy tales about Snegurochka. She is described as a beautiful maiden literally made of snow. She is usually portrayed with forest animals, most often a rabbit, so I made her friend Snow Bunny. This is a Kawaii version of Snegurochka, with a snowflake lace dress, and she has rabbit ears to match her bunny friend. Her hair is made of snowflakes too.

Snegurochka is approximately 10 inches tall (including ears), and has 13 points of articulation. Snow Bunny is approximately 6 inches tall, and has 8 points of articulation. They are made of Japanese glass seed beads, organic cotton thread & fiberfill, and Swarovski pearls.

Snegurochka will be available for commission on my Etsy shop by next week. I need to make another animal doll so that I can price Snow Bunny- I was writing the pattern while I made her, so I have no idea how long it took. But if you're interested in her, let me know and I'll get back to you on it as soon as I can :)

My First Beaded Doll: Snegurochka

Recently I have been trying to make a beaded doll. And today, I finished her! She is my first try, and represents the character "Snegurochka". I am very excited about her ^-^

She stands approximately 7 inches high, and is made entirely of glass seed beads (Delicas and Dyna-mites). This is my original pattern. I have a few things in mind that I want to try changing for my next doll, but on the whole I am happy with her as she is. I hope you will like her too! :) Here are some photos of her:

With porcelain BJD Elena - Snegurochka is made of the same beads as Elena's costume.

Crystal Snow

I finally finished the outfit that goes with Elena's icicle wig! It was inspired by the Russian fairy tale "Snegurochka" (aka The Snow Maiden). But this is kind of a fantasy version. In my imagination, she is actually made of snow and ice. So her "clothes" are just like a part of her skin. 

The outfit consists of a dress, panties, gloves, boots, and wig. Everything is made from glass beads, and is my own design. This was my first beading project (aside from bead embroidery, which I have been doing for several years), and it was really fun! I will definitely be doing more of it ^_^
