DinDolls 03: Cotton Fabric

Notice: There are some sensitive children who can find it uncomfortable to watch the needle go through the head or the body of a doll, so, if possible, I hope you can avoid doing this in front of them, or you can do it gently and carefully. Thank you

I used to upload a 3 minutes version of this video, but it was too fast, so here is the re-edited version, with more details. As a continuation of the previous two, in a different way, after you have a visualization of the Kira doll's form and making steps.
And in my opinion, making a doll takes a lot of time not only because of its difficulty, but also because we are simulating a human form.
--------------------------
After re-edited this video, I discovered that this doll really looks like a Shamisen that I used to make. And I also tried to think of another name instead of Kira Doll, but in the end, I couldn't find any better one. Because my imagination friend, Kira, somehow just look like these dolls, with Long hair, White and Brown. So...
Merry Christmas to you :D
P/s: After filming this video, I discovered that my camera has a problem with the audio recording, so this video has absolutely no sound at all :D

You're back with one of your beautiful dolls. Your videos are relaxing and a great relief from stress. Keep enlightening us with your creations.

Dulce, Preciosa y maravillosa muñeca, como tú, gracias por enseñarnos tanta belleza …. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Tora_74]

This is wonderful! I just love the way you create things from scratch. So lovely.

[@eithne9126]

I would of loved a doll like this as a child. It's amazing how lifelike they are. Thank you for the notation concerning children's fears, children perceive things differently and its good to see that respected. I worked with children for 14 years, they can be troubled by the oddest things. Your right, the doll is graceful like a samisen, but I like Kira best too, she reminds me of Kira from the movie The Dark Crystal.

[@DinLife]

Thank you 💙

[@firefrost9718]

That was wonderful to watch and a very creative way to use fabric scrapes ,thank you for sharing!

[@lorrainesaliba5469]

Dearest Din, I truly admire your sensitivity even in your writing in the description about the editing , the doll’s name and even about the children ! Your precious creations are a mirror of your sweet and genuine soul and for that I feel a friendship bond with you ! I send you my sincerest Blessing and love. Thank you for sharing your your beautiful treasures with us ! I will try and find some time and make this little girl! I am more into painting but have always enjoyed sewing clothes for my dolls when I was young! Warmest regards Lorraine 💕🥰🌷🌸

Have you drawn sketches of her dolls? Brush painting in watercolors would capture the sweet delicacy of her art. I envy your painting talents 🍄🍄 Both my daughters can paint... which pleases me to no end. 🎄 Happy holidays

[@lorrainesaliba5469]

@@dcinrb8538 Hi dear Friend ! Thank you for such a lovely idea ! It’s never too late to learn to paint ! I started when I was 40 as I always wanted to learn ! I also joined an art class for adults and moved on from there ! Start with little projects , I am sure your daughters would be happy to help you out ! You can watch and follow Ginger Cook or her daughter The Art Sherpa on KZbin and so many others who like Din give both inspiration and tutorials ! Good luck and go for it ! Wish you and your family Best Wishes for Christmas and the coming year !

Ahoj DinLife, keď začnem pozerať vaše video najskôr dám 👍 potom so zatajeným dychom sledujem váš postup 😉 a potom rozmýšľam z ktorého rozprávkového sveta natáčate video 😀 nádherná hudba, pokoj, krásne mačičky 🐈🐈 žiadny zhon a stres len relax a vaše zlaté ruky 👏 vraciam sa do detstva domov 🏡 veľmi sa teším, že niekde na svete je ráj na zemi 😀 veľmi vám ďakujem nielen za inšpiráciu ale aj za to, že nám ukazujete cestu, ktorou ísť lebo dobro, úcta a láska 💓 sa akosi vytratilo v dnešnej dobe málokto má čas na pekné slovo, všetci sa niekde ponáhľajú 🙁 kiežby som našla viac slov ako vám poďakovať 😘 posielam pozdrav zo Slovenska 🇸🇰 a prajem krásne Vianoce 🌟🌲🌟😘

[@DinLife]

Thanks for your kind words 🌿

[@magdacallero]

I love watching your videos. Each piece is so affectionate! I'm an artisan and I make dolls, in another style. But seeing your doll, I feel a call back to the roots, a call back to simple. To the truly essential. I didn't stop for weeks now... today, I decided to take a break (small between one face and the other) to give myself a little peace, watching you. Thank you so much. Paz e bem!

[@DinLife]

Mais que mimo !!!!!

[@spacemachine]

This is so sweet! As a kid I made a lot of rag dolls like this but over the years the perfectionist in me left those behind. Thanks for reminding me of the quiet and subtle joy in sewing spontaneously without worrying about patterns or seam allowances. I no longer have the dolls I made for myself when I was little but that's mostly because I gave them away and I'm looking forward to making these and giving them away as well. Also love your note in the beginning about kids and being sensitive to the needle going through the head! It really speaks to the way you look at the world and that compassion is really resonating with me ❤️ thanks so much for sharing these and being so inspirational and peaceful ❤️❤️❤️

You can follow the 12 Gifts in order from the start to get a better understanding of the stitches, as I have worked them from simple to more complex. Maybe I won't be able to start making simpler videos until the middle of next year :D

I can’t wait for the next gift; which I hope is the instrument for the doll. I admire your work very much, so soothing, peaceful, and skillful.

[@DinLife]

That instrument is a Shamisen that I made 6 years ago, and I put it at the end just because in a way it looks a lot like this Kira Doll :D
