Flower Fairy

Come to me and play with me,
I’m the babies’ flower;
Make a necklace gay with me,
Spend the whole long day with me,
Till the sunset hour.

I must say Good-night, you know,
Till tomorow’s playtime;
Close my petals tight, you know,
Shut the red and white, you know,
Sleeping till the daytime.

Inspired by the lovely drawing of Mary Cicely Barker I made a flower fairy, she is very sweet and only 7 inches. She is available in my Etsy shop. https://www.etsy.com/nl/shop/Poppelien

I created this homemade Steiner doll for a special little boy, my youngest nephew Siebe who turned 3 recently and asked for a doll just like his big niece Lisa.

 

 

Marinde – Handmade Waldorf doll

Please meet my new doll Marinde, her name means from the sea and she really loves the beach. She loves searching for seashells when the tide is low. When it is really hot she will only wear her white sundress, but she also loves the windy days when the wind will pull her hair. On those days she wears her soft hooded cloak and her warm winterboots. One day she found a sweet baby seal and they became best friends. After a long day at the beach they will curl up together on the couch and cuddle.

Flower Fairies

With a group of dollmakers we create a thema doll every month, and this theme of this month is Fairies and Elves. Since I love Fairies I did not have to think long. I do have a soft spot for a particular fairy, she is from one of the books of Cicely Mary Barker who made numerous lovely fairies. When I was pregnant with my first baby I asked my dad if he could make a painting for the baby room, he is a very talented painter and he made me a lovely painting of the Daisy Fairy. First it was in y sons room and then in my daughters bedroom where it still is. So I did not have to think long which fairy I wanted to make and this is how she turned out.

Snowdrops

Under the pear tree in our garden I have seen them already the brave little snowdrops, I love these tiny white flowers who are always first to show their delicate flowers. This Waldorf doll just loves snowdrops too!
