Super Heroes.... Wonder Woman & Iron Man

So far, these two superheroes are most people favorites; Iron Man & Wonder Woman. Especially Wonder Woman, I have made quite a few since it's first launched in STGCC.
When I was doing Wonder Woman, I studied the cartoon character for quite sometimes, what are her unique features? I've identified! The small waistline, the boobs and the hair! I think I achieved all these. Don't you think so?

Both dolls are measured approx. 11cm - 12cm tall. For enquiry, please drop us an email @ julshandmade@gmail.com

Beauty & the Prince....

Blessed blessed New Year 2015... Year 2014 has been a wonderful year. Though this year I didn't make as many dolls compare to last year, but this year, I had the opportunity to collaborate with local designer and participate in STGCC. Besides that, I did a lot of personalized dolls compare to last year, challenging but FUN! Looking forward to year 2015. I believe it's going to be a better year. Thank you soooo much for your support... 

This will be the last post of 2014... Beauty & the Prince. Love this pair very very much... 

Will you marry me?

20th of Dec was an auspicious day to get hitched! Few lovely couples tied their knots on this day! And this is one of them.

A young charming gentleman wanted to surprise his beautiful bride with a pair of dolls... He wanted something different, something that captured her heart! This was what we have decided to make....

The groom on one-bended knee and holding a stalk of his bride's favorite flower, sunflower, with their rings tied to it. Asking.... "Will you marry me?"

His beautiful bride must be very touched when she received this gift... How sweet!

Royal Wedding Theme

Lovely Sheen ordered a pair of sitting dolls a year ago and then, she wanted a standing pair. She wanted something unique. something elegant and classy. We've brainstormed ideas of the new wedding dolls for quite sometimes, ended up took me a year to complete!! LOL! I think the longest pair I ever did. I'm glad it turns out fabulous!

Crocheted a Prince William wedding suit for the groom doll. The bride doll was dressed in a gown that looks almost similar to the one that Sheen has chosen for her pre wedding photoshoot...

Aren't they lovely?

So sorry to keep all of you waiting for new updates. Been so busy lately! I'll try my best to update the blog as often as possible. Please don't stop visiting my blog. :)

Beach Theme - 2nd Anniversary

I was rushing this pair last weekends. One of the pairs. I love personalizing dolls. So much fun! 

Jes wanted a pair of dolls to commemorate our 2nd anniversary in Maldives this week! Both husband and wife love snorkeling. So this is what I've made for them. I'm so happy that Jes loves it a lot. Both dolls have flown to Maldives with the lovely couple. 

Small wedding dolls in blue theme

Yay, I've came back from two holidays this month! Recharged! And have clearer mind of what I want to do for year 2015...

At the meantime, I'm rushing a few pairs of wedding dolls on hand... Kinda behind schedule and trying my very best to catch up! It's a good problem! Thanks for your support!
I've done this pair before I went for my Kota Kinabalu's family trip for Jo. This pair is our smaller version wedding dolls and fully crocheted. These dolls are measured approx. 12cm tall.

Don't you think they are sweet? I love the bride's gown... It's almost exactly the same colors combi, lighter blue top with darker blue bottom. Wish the couple; blessed & blissful marriage!

Bei Bei in Angelic Kitty

SH showed me a little baby doll she bought from Taiwan, but the doll is made of plastic and quite big. She wanted a smaller version (approx. 9cm or smaller) so that she can hang it on her bag. The doll is in Kitty costume. 

I have to use thinner yarn in order to achieve the size. Hence, I've chosen Japanese cotton yarn that I got from my good friend, Betsy, founder of Knotty Bicsie. Her shop sells quite a wide range of yarns. 

I've managed to make it at approx. 7cm (height)! Isn't it CUTE! After looking at it, I decided to name it Bei Bei (贝贝), means little precious in Mandarin. Bei Bei is 100% crochet doll with plastic beads eyes. It has little curl on it's forehead.

Bei Bei measured at 7cm

Two cute Angel Wings

I'm so happy that SH loves it so much! Yay! Do you want to see more Bei Bei?

Personalized Dolls for JW

I’ve made these 3 lovely dolls for JW’s sisters that helped out on her wedding day. JW wanted me to personalize the dolls according to their favorite colors and hairstyles! She loves them a lot. Hope her sisters too….

I was trying to create a Chinese New Year mood for this shot, because we are still celebrating Chinese New Year… LOL

Sister 1: JW wanted a hair-band for her. I was using the Gold Spark yarn I got from Knotty Bicsie.

Sister 2: She loves Pink and White and she will like to have a halo of flowers on her head…. :)

Sister 3: Is my favorite! She has curly hair… I really like to do curly hair dolls, they look so cute! Then her favorite color is purple, so I added 2 purple ribbons at the side to make her cuter!!!

Retro Doll for M

M wanted a doll that use these two very retro colors. The colors are from a hotel’s logo.

I never know these two colors can be so nice. Bought these two colors: Fusion Pink and Bright Yellow from Betsy. Nice rite?!

Siti and Sam

Siti asked me to make two dolls for her best friend Sam as her birthday present. Before that I’ve made her 3 sets of sisters dolls.

I decided to make two look-a-like dolls for them.

Siti told me that Sam has natural curl and love champagne color. As for Siti, she loves purple and she said she wanted her hair to be straight cos Sam never seen her in straight hair.

This is what Siti wrote: “I presented these to her tonite. if only you could've heard our squeals of delight!”

Lambs for TYL

TYL asked me to make a pair of lambs for her to surprise her hubby during their honeymoon trip... Sweet... =P

She's looking at something like the SERTA lambs.... So, I've made her this pair of lambs. Glad she likes them... :)

Psalms 23

¹ The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

² He makes me lie down in green pastures,
       he leads me beside quiet waters,

³ he restores my soul.
       He guides me in paths of righteousness
       for his name's sake.

⁴ Even though I walk
       through the valley of the shadow of death, ^[a]
       I will fear no evil,
       for you are with me;
       your rod and your staff,
       they comfort me.

⁵ You prepare a table before me
       in the presence of my enemies.
       You anoint my head with oil;
       my cup overflows.

⁶ Surely goodness and love will follow me
       all the days of my life,
       and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
       forever.

This bible passage came to me when I make the lamb....

Little Green Seraphina

Little Green Seraphina is specially made for my cousin Megan who turns 4 this month. She LOVES green very very much...

My aunt has wanted her to sleep on her own but she was afraid of the dark and 'ga-ga' (night creature). My aunt told her not to be afraid because God protects her and taught her how to pray... Now, she is sleeping on her own. She doens't need my aunt to be around...

Little Green Seraphina will be her guardian angel....
