Water world

When I was little girl I dreamed to be a marine biologist or scientist (look after dolphins), wanted to
In any case, I love very much the sea and marine animals, especially invertebrates. I like to take photos, I love to watch these animals in their habitat. They are so much unusual and graceful. Sometimes it seems to me - they are from another planet, so incredible and colorful are their bodies.
I still want to find time to make my plush collection of star fishes, sea snails, corals and sea horses. I would like to sew them of pure rustic linen cloth!
I want to introduce you a little story in pictures what is happening in the underwater kindergarten: baby Whales and naughty small fish

Playful babies!

But soon parents come and (how it is common in real life) stop this disorder!

They are sweet babies again )

SEA. The one of the most beautiful things in the Earth.

Birds in Cherry Garden Dolls studio

It is Interesting, in modern heraldry the birds  present at 35% of State Emblems in varying interpretations. Question is - how many states, big and small cities have the Bird symbol?

Mobile toys

One of my favorite ideas in work - it is a bird. Wings and ability to fly are symbols of freedom in many cultures.
Like an angel the bird also is a sign of the soul.

Doves - cake topper

What else do people associate with this  sign?
Deity, Creator, sun, immortality, child, motherhood, fertility, the thought, the speed, happiness, purity, love, time.

Bunny Rabbit Hare - Female symbol

I know few guys who love bunnies and keep them as pets.  And I can admit - I would like to  take care of some curious,  timid and cute bunny also…So – here is a few interesting facts that I have found about rabbits and I would like to share with you:

In many cultures around the world the Rabbit/Hare represents the moon and consequently, death and resurrection.  Possible reasons:  a Rabbit is resembled in the markings on the Moon (body and 2 elongated ears, nocturnal life, gray / white fur.

The Rabbit or Hare is symbolically linked to the female deities, of youth, fertility,  intuition and the revival of life. 

  In Buddhist, Chinese, Egyptian, Greek, African, Native American, Celtic, Hindu and Teutonic myths associated with female hare is the cycle of reproduction. As prolific animals hares and rabbits are often associated with magic and the white rabbit figurine was the mascot to get fertility and is regarded as an assistant at a difficult childbirth.

 

In Buddhist mythology the Hare is marked as a selfless animal, kind and able to sacrifice themselves. According to legend, a hare jumped into the fire and roasted to nourish the Buddha himself. In gratitude, the Buddha put the rabbit on the Moon.

The Hare often appears in Christian iconography. His helplessness personified people’s reliance on God.
Modern emblems exploit the sexual symbolism of the hare. As an erotic symbol the Rabbit is used, in particular, the famous American magazine for men "Playboy."

How I have created my babushka dolls

I love to sew dolls. Especially babushka dolls. The other day I have thought to create a special edition of Pearl Princess dolls.

So, my choice for materials - european natural linen and luxurious silk dupioni with shimmering effect for their bodies, handcrafted vintage lace pieces, linen lace and beautiful pearl beads for decoration. Seems like a great choice for the royals!

All their faces are made of cotton and face image in my unique drawing. They are really unique like  humans.
The bodies are ready, the faces are also - now is  time for hair. That is the best color to match with eyes? 

 

Girls  should think about their unique looks. After this hard task -  I sew on silk shawl the pearl beads

My beauties are  ready! Would you like to get one?
