Здравствуйте, Бэйбики! А это снова я и снова порция прикольных куколок. На этот раз меня очаровали работы Джилл Маас (Jill Maas). Который раз, не устаю удивляться, на что способен текстиль! Точнее, способен, конечно, мастер держа в руках всего-лишь тряпочку. Столько позитива! Прям волнами, волнами. Такие расчудесные куколки, а особенно старушонки. Когда «вырасту», обязательно буду такой старушенцией.
Авторские текстильные куклы Джилл Маас (Jill Maas). Вот эти русалочки очень знакомы. На разных сайтах они под чьим только авторством ни встречаются. Наконец-то теперь доподлинно узнала чьи всё-таки они. Такой Санта, просто прелесть. Игрушка так и называется «Санта и его друзья». Старичок явно на отдыхе в домашней обстановке. Кстати, эти ребята «неволяшки», у них внутри какое-то устройство и они не падают. Могу поклясться, что где-то по-соседству «такая» старушонка живёт у каждого. У меня живёт! Если присмотреться, хорошенько, то можно увидеть, что лицо у куклы из трикотажа.
Вообще, заметили, характерно делать работы парами, почти композиции. То старушки стоят болтают, то девчонки подружки. Просто отчаянно умилительные куколки. Прям смотришь и хочется ещё и ещё.Интересно перелистывать страницы, с чувством ожидания, а какая же следующая, кто же там ещё. Просто восхитительные работы. P.s.: Заглянув в тот ящичек в голове, где должен храниться английский язык и вновь обнаружив пустоту, решила посовещаться со своей совестью, она сказала, что лучше не указывать ссылки на сайты в которых сомневаешься. Поэтому скажу так: «Гугл есть у всех, как на кнопки нажимать, все умеете. Там и найдёте, что да как, если стало интересно.» Спасибо всем, кто посмотрел и получил позитивный заряд!

Donatella 13 ½» Fairy Doll Pattern by Jill Maas!
Another Beautiful Original Design by Jill Maas!
Donatella lives on a small sheep farm near a tiny village close to the forest.
Her favorite subject is mathematics, when she grows up she wants to be a mathematician and work in the financial center of New York, until then she spends her time counting everything, (yes everything!) putting them into groups of form, size, relationships, symbols and quantities. If she sees it, she organizes and counts it!
This is no mean feat for her very patient flock of sheep who get herded around the farm and in and out of the yards several times a day.
Donatella belongs to the village children’s choir, they often sing together in the forest pick wild flowers for their mothers and aunties and gather nuts from old walnut trees, of course she always counts these and makes sure there are 25 of the same size to take home.

Sofia and George by Jill Maas!
Sofia is another beautiful design by New Zealand artist Jill Maas!
Sofia (7 years old) stands just over 10″ (26cm) tall and she just loves elephants especially her favorite pet George. Pattern for George, the elephant, is also included.
Sofia is devoted to learning about elephants, here are some of the facts she has learnt. Baby elephants weigh about 260 pounds at birth, one adult tooth can weigh 5 pounds. Elephants can’t jump, trot or gallop, but can swim using their trunk as a snorkel.
They can suck up 14 litres of water in their trunk and then blow it straight into their mouth. They eat about 50 tons of food a year.
The reason they spray mud over themselves when bathing is because it acts as a sunscreen when it dries.
Female elephants spend their lifetime living with their mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters and daughters, the adult males prefer a bachelor lifestyle.
Their trunks are very sensitive and can pick up a blade of grass or rip a branch off a tree. Sofia plans to go to South Africa and Asia when she has saved enough money to see elephants in their natural habitat.
Meanwhile she sleeps with George every night.

Augustine is another fun design by Jill!
Augustine stands about 18″ (45 cm) tall and true delight to make. She makes a wonderful conversational piece and the perfect gift!
Augustine was born on an extremely cold, wet, windy night about 5 past 12 and immediately blown across the padlock through the fence and into the pig pen. Stuck in the mud and unsteady on her feet she was unable to make her way back to her clucking mother who ran around in worrying circles for a whole 5 minutes and didn’t lay another egg for a fortnight!
Augustine was nurtured by a small pink piglet for 3 days eating only slush until her roving father spotted her.
As you can imagine the confusion of these dramatic events in her early life has caused Augustine to become slightly erratic, rebellious and allergic to bacon – apart from that she is completely normal, has a happy life near the sea, although she never swims in water above her knees.

Designed by JILL MAAS, this plucky 16″ beauty Danika, (meaning morning star) comes from Taumaranui where her Grandparents settled after immigrating to New Zealand. She was brought up on a sheep station where she mustered sheep on horseback and bagged manure for pocket money.
Locally she is known as ‘the marchioness’ possibly as her advice is given freely and she has quite a strong disposition, but she also has a large degree of kindness and is a hard worker.
Rocco, (of very questionable breeding) was found marauding at her boundary fence, she fell in love with his cute face, adopted him, registered him, micro chipped him and he had a small operation, (he’s not quite forgiven her for that! but they have become constant companions, he protects her from wild beasts and only does trivial misdeeds when he feels ignored.)
We have many of the common supplies that Jill Maas recommends for her patterns. Check your supply list and use the links below.
