Bride and Groom (III)

 And here I am with another bride and groom post. As it happened with the former couple I showed you, this was a comission by a bride's close friend. She provided me with a (gorgeous) picture taken the day of the wedding, so it was easier to reproduce the style of the dress, hair and groom's vest and tie color.

The couple was kissing in the picture I was provided with, so I was asked to reproduce that in amigurumi. I cannot show you the  original picture, but I swear it looked like this:

I had to sew their arms to each other so they could stay in that position, so you can say that they are together until thread do them part... hahaha

One of the main features of the picture I was given is the enormous bun the bride rocked for her wedding day that really, really suit her. She was stunning.

So I tried to make a voluminous bun to the doll as well:

Hairdo

White bouquet

He wears a matching boutonniere  in white

Vest and tie in grey for the groom

So they did tie (or sew) the knot. You may now kiss the bride:

¡Muacks!

Bride and Groom (II)

Here's another couple of bride an groom that I haven't shown yet. Now they are with their new owners I can post some pics.

A friend of this couple contacted me asking for custom dolls to give to the newly weds in their wedding day. She provided me with some pics of her friends and I tried to customize them as much as possible.

Maybe she looks familiar to you? She was the model for the hair tutorial that you can find  here

This is the bride before the hair job:

And here she is after getting ready, with her pearl tiara and pink bouquet:

Here's a detailed photo of the dress waist and the bouquet

Here's the back of the dress

She looks pretty, doesn't she?

And here's the groom, with grey vest and tie:

I used this box to give them away...

¡¡Muacka!!

And they lived happily ever after...

Freddies à gogo

 Freddie Mercury amigurumi is by far the most requested doll among the ones I made. These days I finished four of them! I'm glad that people like Freddie as much as I do and I'm even more glad that they want my Freddies to be the chosen ones as a gift for a loved one (as it seems to be the case of the latest three)

 You have already seen in this blog the 'Wembley edition' in several occasions, in amigurumi and in felt. The medium size doll, about 12 cm tall  was the one chosen both by Gonzalo y Lorena to their respective gifts. The novelty was the way in which I made the microphones, from now on, with jumping clay instead of beads and wire.

Another Gonzalo (what a coincidence!) from La Coruña, wanted this other Freddie, a smaller version of it, so his wife could use it as a brooch. They are both fans of Freddie and he knew she was going to love it. So I tryed to make him smaller and the result was a 7 cm tall Freddie. 

Comparison of  my usual 12cm dolls and the 7 cm Freddie.

with the brooch ready!

Gonzalo wrote me back telling me that her wife loved the Freddie. Thank you. That made me very happy!

And, being a huge Freddie fan myself, I thought....when will I have my own amigurumi Freddie? And since I was a little tired of so many Wembley Freddies in such a short time space, I made myself a travestite Freddie-the one from the I Want to Break Free video. I love that song and video, and wanted my Freddie vacuuming with a wig on? This is the resulting amigurumi:

You can see his black bra strap

"She" has (fake) breasts

Freddie, sucha a polifacetic artist.

Thanks again to all of you who trust in my work to be a gift for your loved ones.

Which Freddie do you like more? Dp you want to see some other Freddies in different styles?
