The pleasure of color. Coral color palette

Let's have fun with colors. To take design too much seriously .... hmm...perhaps it is wrong! Yes, I am totally addicted to gray...it is true, but!
A few time ago I have discovered in my work a new great palette - I call it "Coral", so my "precious gem" contains - bright and rich berry tones - grapefruit, persimmon and timid and shy - orange caramel, peaches in champagne, orange nectar ... mmmm. How delicious!

Very feminine, "girly" and delicate, I love the combination with grey, white, mint, apple green colors.

  Love the combination with rustic linen, incredible mixture!

 Girls know - coral pink  is perfect color for blond hair!

Birds inspiration

Few weeks ago I have received a special order from Kelly - to make mobile birdies for her nursery in a gray and coral colors palette. And I liked the idea so much that I decided to create a set for my little online shop, besides I'm a hopeless fan of gray textile.

When the second set was made - I thought that if I sew a new kit again? 2 Days later I made a gray-yellow birdies.

It is not a secret, but I'm in the process of creating  gray / blue birds now...))

This coral chiffon flowers were made for the first kit:

Linen Creatures - Winter collection

Yes, as I have said already - my favorite creative material  is pure linen fabric. It is easy to create any style - simple  rustic, feminine sophistication or popular shabby.
In Australia is summer now (according our forecast we are expecting +40C in 3 days, uh!) but  all my friends have winter and snow now. White fairy tale.
This collection is dedicated to winter mood and my friends )

Basic material - bleached linen fabric.
Shabby chic Babushka dolls set.
Whales story - White Mobi-Dick and Mother with her baby

Rustic toys

And my delicate and shy little rag doll - Baby Angel with a lace heart.


Have great winter days, friends!

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.

Mint, aqua, turquoise

So fresh colors. Cold but light palette.

What are my associations?
Perhaps - bright, inspiring and lively colors. Porcelain and velvet. Rustic chic. Retro 40-50...Transparent twilight.


I could find some colors of such scheme in my garden - succulents. Have a small collection of this amazing and unfussy plants...ah! I would like to buy more )

Pink bloom

Pink color - the traditional color of  kindness, love, tenderness and passion. This color is most associated with charm, politeness and sensitivity. Pink palette -  very feminine and romantic.

We love to make toys of pink colors fabric in our workshop. Of course I prefer most of all the pure silk with shimmering effect, but I suppose the cotton is better for  nursery deco and  toddler toys. So cozy and cute!

Gray color - not boring if you know how to use it!

Some people think that gray -  is booooooooring. Not bright, not attractive and does not catch eyes
But I love gray very much  -  neutral palette can be combined with any color excellently.
White + gray   and   pink + gray   are  my favorite combination


  I make my plush creatures in gray colors scheme, and my Stuffed Whales - mom and her baby couple is loved by my customers of the Cherry Garden Dolls shop a lot!




Next will be a  Ballerina Doll in gray dress )
