Dolls and Ceramics: Coney Island Poppy Parker & Ugly Cup

Since I started my ceramics journey about a year and a half ago, it has been hard to figure out what to post on my social media accounts that are doll-centric. Should I post my ceramics work there? I didn’t know. I decided I would try a creative strategy of posting dolls and ceramics together. Welcome to the weird posts dolls and pots. Here we go.

Pictured is the lovely Coney Island Poppy Parker dressed in pieces of the 2013 Integrity Toys Monogram Completist outfit. The cup is the first hand-built cup I made when starting my ceramics journey. I made sure to decorate it with lots of techniques. I lovingly call it my ugly cup. It gets a lot of use as a mount for my phone holder so I can make videos of my work.

Poppy at the Beach

The beach vacay for the year has come and gone, but I got some fun photos of Poppy at the beach. The blue-haired “Looks a Plenty” Poppy is such a great doll. I’m a sucker for a doll set that ends up being several dolls in one, especially if they have wild hair colors. I haven’t used the red or blonde-haired versions of Poppy yet, but stay tuned to see them in future photos.

It was an interesting experience trying to balance keeping a doll upright and avoid waves with a camera. Poppy Parker was much luckier than a Momoko doll that took a swim (a few times). She will be seen in a future post.

In the early summer, I picked up the fabulous Barbie Look Collection Poolside Fashion Pack. Poppy is wearing most of the pieces from the Poolside set. Is it too much blue? I felt that way at first, but it has grown on me. The robe floated in the wind and really provided the beach vibes.

Going on vacation any time soon? I always recommend grabbing a doll and taking it with you. Some of my most interesting doll photos are on location while I’m catching a breather from everyday life.

I will have a few more photos on my Instagram account, if you want to see some more blue-haired Poppy eye candy. Support an artist! Visit my Etsy shop. You can also follow my Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest pages.

Calico and Lace Dress Set

I FINALLY finished a new set for Momoko! It sat around for quite a while because I really wanted to work on my tatting skills to add a little extra to the outfit. It turns out, I’m WAY better at needle tatting versus shuttle tatting.

The set comes with a beige coat with handmade tatted lace applique brooch, sleeveless calico print dress, underskirt, and purse with matching tatted lace applique. It fits a variety of fashion dolls, including Poppy Parker, Liv, Jenny, Tiny Kitty, and some Barbie sizes. I noticed it was sometimes difficult to get larger hands through the sleeves of the coat.

In the near future, I hope to do a variation of this outfit in a digital pattern to sell in the shop. Support an artist! Visit my Etsy shop. You can also follow my Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest pages.

Momoko Dress Set with Vest

When I encountered this thin triangle print fabric, I knew I would want to use it for a small fashion doll outfit.  The fabric was made into this dress and I accompanied it with a matching light gray felt vest and cream organza underskirt.  The dress was made to accommodate a variety of fashion dolls including Momoko, Model Muse, petite Barbie, and tall Barbie.  It even fits Poppy Parker, Tiny Kitty, and Liv dolls (snug at bust).  Get it here in the shop, while supplies last.

Lovely Tunic for 1:6 Scale Dolls
