My product idea is a kit. I made note at the Seattle Show how many people wanted to create dollhouse dolls on their own, but really no knowledge of where to begin. So I thought why not? And really how fun is it to share with people a passion of mine? I hope I can create kits that are easy to understand...so I'm having some family members over next week to be my guinea pigs. They are crafty ladies, so I'm sure they'll be able to help me fine tune this kit. Here is a preview of the label:
This would include the porcelain doll, all china painted and assembled, the fabric, notions, wig and instructions. This doll mold is one of my most favorites, "Kelly" by Doreen Sinnett. One of the more challenging parts of this kit was my pattern development and then the printing of the scaled fabric to the pattern pieces. Like this:
This is the actual fabric. It seemed to streamline the process and perhaps make it easier for the doll maker to get those tiny pieces ready for assembly. Hopefully, if this is my final stage of development, I will have these kits available very soon in my Etsy shop (www.etsy.com/shop/lillislittles).
And then, my Dior doll. So much fun! I love the New Look era of fashion! She sold within 15 minutes of my posting her up! Her jacket is a cream colored silk, tailored to fit, with a peplum. Her full pleated skirt cascaded down from a fitted waist yoke. I think she turned out lovely :)
So there you have it. My last week's labor. Here's to the miniature biz!
