New Furniture in Vanessa’s Workshop

Image
  Vanessa is changing — and her workshop is transforming as well. New white shelves have appeared here, making the space feel cozier and more comfortable. I had long dreamed of wooden miniature furniture for the doll workshop. I even bought an electric jigsaw to work with plywood. But my first attempts didn’t succeed, and the tool stayed in its box for several years. This year I decided to give my dream a second chance: I sold the electric jigsaw, bought a hand one and a few sheets of plywood — and, to my delight, this time it worked! I made my very first shelves by hand. Until now, I had only created furniture from cardboard, so this was a completely new experience for me. After a few days of work, it was finally time to start painting the furniture. Vanessa, of course, helped 🙂 A toothpaste cap turned into a tiny bucket of white paint, and a toothpick became a brush. Such a simple, magical moment — and the furniture came to life under her skillful hands. I truly love when everyt...

Vanessa has matured 😉 She has become so feminine, with a wonderful sense of style. Her facial features are sharp and beautifully defined. She is no longer a beginner in sewing, but an experienced dressmaker who is now shaping fashion on the Island of Creative Makers. P.S. I truly love the Barbie Looks dolls. For a long time, I have been thinking about replacing my playline dolls with collectible ones. And now, Vanessa’s role belongs to Barbie Looks 23 🥰 Vanessa has grown up! What do you think about this change — from the playline Barbie Made to Move DHL82 to the collector Barbie Looks 23? Share your thoughts in the comments 🌸 And by the way — if you would like to learn more about Vanessa, how she arrived on the magical island, and dive deeper into this fairy tale world, you can find my book The Island of Creative Makers in my Etsy shop: InesaDolls. I have finally fulfilled my childhood dream — to become an author and write fantasy stories ✨ 📸 Vanessa and I took a photo for the cove...

Vanessa sewed new clothes in vintage style

Image
  Vanessa often sits by the ocean — thoughtful, as if searching for answers to life’s most important questions. She gazes into the distance, watching the sky gently meet the waves. Sometimes, she walks barefoot along the shore, dancing with the sea 🌊 This enchanting view inspired her to create an outfit in a turquoise shade. Back in her workshop, step by step, a delicate blouse with airy sleeves and a vintage skirt with a corset came to life — a true work of art. Vanessa has made similar pieces before — they are incredibly comfortable. This time, she dreamed of the same style, only in new colors. The dreamer picked up a pencil to sketch the design and noticed something curious — she was drawing with her left hand. Confidently, lightly, as if it had always been this way. It felt unusual… but not frightening at all. On the magical island, little wonders are part of everyday life ✨ With that mysterious ease, she traced all the corset pattern pieces, guided by inspiration that seemed ...

A Fairytale Birthday on Doll Island

Image
  Legend says that on this very day, a beautiful island got its name — “The Kingdom of Creativity.” 😉 Long ago, there were only flower-covered hills and thick mist all around. But when the mist lifted, a magical palace appeared in the distance — though not everyone could see it. Artists from all over the world received a mysterious invitation to this secret place. And slowly, the island became their home ❤️ You won’t find this island on any map. It’s invisible. And even if someone happens to stumble upon it, they’ll only see the flower hills… and nothing more. The road to the kingdom opens only to those whose hearts are full of sincerity, imagination, kindness, and warmth 🥰 Every year on April 25, the Kingdom celebrates the Flower Ball. Flora decorates the palace and the garden with blossoms, creating a real fairytale. Elegant dresses, flowers in hair, gentle music, dancing under the open sky, and sweet treats on tiny tables… It’s all so dreamy, you just want to stay there foreve...
