Happy (belated) New Year....

I've had a very lazy Christmas and New Year break, but I wanted to wish everyone a very Happy New Year.


I also wanted to share my 2015 best nine from Instagram. 


These are the most popular 9 photos which I shared in 2015, and they are all cute doll face brooches! I'm so pleased that they make you smile as much as me.
 As bunny Kewpies were 2nd and 3rd most popular on Instagram this year, I've just added another bunch over on my Etsy shop

Kewpie Bunny - Cream

Kewpie Bunny - Pale Blue

Kewpie Bunny - Cream

Kewpie Bunny - Pink
Have you made any New Year's resolutions? Mine should probably be to blog more!!!!

I'm really looking forward to getting the paint brushes out again later this week, I've a few different things to show you all soon. If you want to see what I'm up to before anyone else, please join me on Instagram, @dottiedollie

We've been dog sitting this week, so with early morning walks, cuddles and playtime taking most of the day I'm behind with listings!!!

There's been so much grey, grey weather too, which makes photography hard.....

Doll Face Brooches


Izannah Walker dolls have really taken over this year so far, but at last the Dollie Brooches are back!

They still make me smile just as much as they did when I made the first ones nearly 3 years ago, mostly because each one is different.

Secret Vintage Fair

I love the Secret Vintage Fair, and this month it returns to Colchester on the 23rd...
 
 
There is always a real buzz about the event. There are bands, catwalk shows, vintage makeovers, as well as loads of traders selling vintage clothing and home ware, and handmade items with a vintage touch. Dottie Dollie is delighted to be trading at this event.
 
There is usually a queue to get in, and the first 25 through the door are rewarded with a super goodie bag. I like to put a treat inside, and this time it's going to be a bunny pin brooch. This morning, after a bit of a delay, the materials arrived, so I couldn't wait to get making....
 
Bunnies are cut out by hand

Bunny before, and after, shrinking

Bunnies get many coats of protective varnish in the sunshine

Bunny has a sweet side glance, and cute whiskers!

There are lots of brooch pins to glue...

Bunny has a safety brooch pin
There are quite a few bunnies!

Bunny is attached to his card, and is ready to go
I'm looking forward to meeting customers, old and new, at the fair, and a limited number of these bunny pins will be available to buy on the day, if you don't manage to get one of the coveted goodie bags.
