Babushka bears !!

It has been on my to do list for a long time to make a set of Babushka bears. I just love the Babushka dolls especially the older more rustic ones.

One of my friends has a few sets of quite old Russian dolls dressed in simple peasant style clothing. One of these sets was my inspiration for my Babushka bears.

This is the set of  3 Babushkas.  I just loved there simplicity (excuse the photo it was taken on my phone).

Below is my version ( in bear form ) of these gorgeous girls. Hope you like them they are 2 1/2",2" and 1 1/2"

A Tribute to the 1960's

Does anyone remember the 1960's Troll dolls. I do, and I just love them.

My Grandmother used to collect them I guess in that way I take after her I love all things Ugly cute. I can remember we used to buy her a new Troll every Birthday, Mothers day and Christmas. Her collection was massive she had Trolls in every size and style imaginable it extended into every room.

I came across one of her smaller ones at my mothers a couple of months ago and it inspired me to create my Troll bears. This is my tribute to one the 1960's classics and my Beautiful Nana also a classic. I know she will be looking down at them with a smile, hope you like them too.

Sizzik   4 1/2"

Zamja   3 1/2"

Hope you like them.     Cheers Lyn.

We need to get out the Christmas card list and check it twice, tick off the present list and see who's been naughty or nice because Santa is not far away.
