RealPuki Gets a New Dress (or Two)

If you visit my Etsy page frequently, you may have noticed the occasional tulle dress pop up for PukiPuki and RealPuki dolls. It’s often challenging to sew something so tiny, but I love the little tulle dresses and feel compelled to make more. I am always on the hunt for remnant tulle and matching applique flowers to make more variations of this dress. A commission to make a few more of these came up recently and I just had to make some extra.

Pictured is my RealPuki ball-jointed doll (BJD), Titi. This Fairyland BJD is a well-sculpted super tiny doll with magnetic hands and feet. The doll is smaller than PukiPuki, Kelly, and similar sized dolls. The dresses made for RealPuki are more likely to fit Amelia Thimble and Petite Blythe.

Casting Call for New Book

The new book, Dolly Bureau (Vol 3):  All About Tiny Dolls [working title], is underway and this year I'm going to try something a little different with the book.  Instead of being strictly a pattern book, this year the book will highlight all kinds of tiny dolls (11.5cm/4.5in or shorter) with some pattern tutorials, crafts, etc.  In this volume, dolls, crafts, clothing, accessories, etc, will also come from other people, not just MegannArt.

How great would it be to have some of your own dolls or handmade designs in a published book?!  Dolly Bureau books are gaining popularity and would help people notice your work. See below for more information about contributing to the book.
