These three dolls are on the way to Australia to be parth of the Morphe II softdoll exhibition.

They come with a signed certificate of origin, providing their name and birthdate and the story behind the Olmie-folk:

Saturday I had a booth on a oltimer and craftfair. I don't have photo's to show for it and to be honest I'm glad because to me it was a huge dissapointment.

They placed us in a space wich also was the canteen of the building it was held. Doors were open at both sides of the room so I was sitting in the draft all day and was very cold all day.

Outside the weather was georgious and lots and lots of people came to look at the beautiful old cars parked there but only a few came inside and I think about 90 percent of the people that actually came inside were only interested in buying a cup of coffee and going to the toilet. I'm pretty sure it could have been a great day if only they had placed us in a spot in between some old cars!

So next year they can't count on me because I take myself and my Art serious! And for those that actually did came to look at my stuff and decided to drop by my weblog...thank you so much for doing so!

For a long time I wanted to make myself some felted mules and yesterday I decide it was time .

It all started with making this:

I really liked the blue/green colorcombination but the bag was to little for my cellphone, so after that I made this:

And since I really, really liked the result, I decide to use a similar design for my mules and added some fairytail details. So this winter I will have happy feet because of this:

Max
is a real funny guy. He can't seem to stop gigglin and loves to tell jokes he himself laughs about the most.

I'm sure you can see he also loves to visit granny Trijntje on a regular basis , because she bakes the most tastefull cookies in the whole forrest and they are his absolute favorite thing to eat!
He loves it when one of the tiny peoples uses his swing.

Latest news:
Although Max will miss Trijntjes cookies terribly he has moved to the USA on april 12 - 2007 to live with a lovely lady called Cynthia.

Trijntje
is a sweet granny-olmie. She loves to take care of the little olmies. Whenever someone needs a sitter she’s the first one to be asked and she hardly never says no!

She also bakes the most tastefull cookies in the whole forrest and everytime she starts baking them the forrest smells delicious!

Obvious whe will be missed when she leaves te forrest but she agreed to leave her recipies behind so they can bake their own Trijntje-cookies....

Price: 59 Euro + shipping.
Size: 35-40 cm.

All my Olmies are send out with a signed adoption certificate with a bit more information about the Olmie-folk and the specific character itself.

Click here to tell me you're ready to take him into your home and to ask for more details.

Trijntje is currently reserved.

If there's a party going on Kareltje sure will be the one hanging around trying to get in because he's a real party-animal ;0)
He love's to make his own buntings and paper chains so if ever you need one, he's your guy! Kareltje loves to discover things and therefore he's ready to leave the forrest to go see more of the world!

Latest news:
On april 12, 2007 Kareltje moved to France to live with a lovely girl named Lucie.

Yesterday I started to make another olmie.

I wanted to try out another nose and somehow when embroidering the face it was like the doll already spoke to me... ok you changed my nose, you can do that but let me tell you I don't want to be an olmie I want to be something completely different!

And therefore she is...

Because I already collected some pieces of cloth and some other accessories which I would like to use and due to the way it looked both Marjolein (my daughter) and me have a strong feeling she's turning into a Baroness...

Na lang wikken en wegen heb ik dan toch de drastische stap genomen om het meeste van mijn haar bij de kapper achter te laten. Tijd voor een frisse nieuwe look ...

Took me a long time but I finally decided to leave most of my hair at the hairdressers. It's time for a new look...

En dit is het dan geworden. Natuurlijk ook meteen een leuk kleurtje erin want ouder worden vind ik niet erg, maar die grijze haren camoufleer ik liever nog maar even :)

And here's the result...ofcourse I also colored my hair to get ride of the grey. I don't mind getting older...I just don't like the grey hair yet :)

P.s. I also decide to write a bit more in my own language but will try to give brief translation as well.

Vanaf het moment dat ik me dan toch gewaagt heb aan het natvilten had ik het plan om in ieder geval een keer een "olmie" te vilten. Na flink zwoegen is dit hem dus geworden. Iets kleiner dan de rest maar toch wel grappig en met een vogeltje van naaldvilt. Het enige wat ik niet leuk vindt is de kleur van zijn snoetje. De volgende keer dan toch eerst zelf maar wat wol verven in een goede tint.

From the moment I started the wet-felting I wanted to try to make a wet-felted olmie. He turned out a bit smaller than the others. And although it was a lot of hard work I liked him. He's got a needlefelted little yellowbird and the only thing I absolutely dislike is the color of his face. If I make another one again I have to dye my own wool to get a natural skincolor first.
