January Editorial

Gus and Lucian are hitting the slopes, in runway-inspired gear, for the January edition of #dollslifemagazine! Check out the whole awesome publication here! This month’s magazine has more great interviews, featuring talented miniature artists and photographers!!!

I got my inspiration for these looks, from the fall/winter 2020-21 collections of Dior, Iceberg, and Dsquared.

To make the Dior-inspired skis and snowboard, I used layered card stock, glue, acrylic paint, craft foam, and a touch of foil paper on the boot clamps.

An Aran Sock Sweater

Gus, here, is feeling cozy enough to take on the wildest nor’easter, in his new sweater! I’ve been wanting to make an Aran style fisherman’s sweater for a long time, and I finally found a perfect sock to use.

I had a small scrap left over from the sock that I used for Gus’s sweater, so, Sinatra got a tiny, beagle-sized Aran sweater of his own. Now Gus and his pup can match.

The Ken 60th Anniversary Project

Miniature instagramer, @adrian.dollslife, created a monthly photo challenge, celebrating Ken’s 60th anniversary. This is my first photo for the #adriandollslifekenchallenge! With it’s flowing script and jaunty tilt, the iconic Ken insignia is a lot like Ken himself; compact, dashing, versatile, and timeless! Here, Gus is putting on his Ken high-tops, featuring the elegant little signature on each ankle. The January theme is “Hi! My name is Ken.”

Snow Day

Gus is enjoying a hot cup of tea, and admiring the beautiful snow outside, from the comfort of his living room. It snowed all day yesterday and we are expecting more!

Bespoke Bogey Bags

I‘m so excited to have completed another big project: Three bespoke bags, fully lined, with brass hardware! The two on the left are @lanvinofficial inspired Bogey bags, and the one on the right is a @coach inspired Musette bag. These guys have been a long time in the making. Many thanks to @xenobia219 for requesting these fun designs!

Here’s another view of the three bespoke bags I’ve been working on, and the designer inspiration! Both the brown bags that I made have a blue and yellow plaid lining, and the black bag has a navy and white geometric print lining.  

Relaxing After the Holidays

After all the hustle and bustle of the Holidays, it’s nice to just sit back and relax. Today, Gus and Sinatra are twinning in warm, stripy flannel.
