Re-connection and New Steps

I came home from Uni that night intent on trying to make a cloth doll from scratch, I have lots of experience customising existing dolls, but this was something that was a merge of two hobbies, and was a way to branch out, maybe two weeks of photography had got to me.

My dolls, cuddly toys and figurines are such a huge part of me, I'm a serial toy hoarder! You can see a teeny bit of my hoard, in my brother's documentary, p.s. it's about living with Asperger's Syndrome, not mine or my brother's incessant hoarding XD




My large google search started with making plushies (plush dolls) before arriving at Waldorf Dolls.
Waldorf dolls are named due to their use in the Waldorf Education System, they are made from soft natural fibers and typically have very simple faces.

This is my current big research list, of useful references, videos, and links,
