Snow White and Rose Red, an interview with Lexxi from Etsy shop Lexxi and Luke

          
          This week I've had the fortune of sitting down with Lexxi from the Etsy shop "Lexxi and Luke". Lexxi uses inspiration from the world around her and infuses it into her creations. I watched her transform two Pullip dolls into the characters "Rose Red" and "Snow White", and am in awe with her ability to put her vision into her sewing. Come along as we visit deep in the forest of another realm!

How long have you been creating things?

Ever since I can remember, Ive been trying to get a hold of anything craft wise, and have always found a neat way to make things.

How did your interest in dolls start?

I always had Bratz growing up, and when my mom bought me an American Girl doll for Christmas for me when I was 9, I began making things for it. Eventually, my mom found Pullip dolls, and I fell in love with them.

What is your favorite outfit that you've created for your doll, and why?

I think I like this one turquoise dress with a silver star on it. I like it because I made it out of a hand warmer, and I had loved that hand warmer very much.

Where do you get your inspiration from?

I usually think of what kind of things I would wear or what kind of things are my style. I also see things that I used to like and always think up a newer version of that.

Can you give us any hints on what your next project will be?

I wanted to make something Alice in Wonderland themed for Pullip, so I will most likely be working on that.

Lovely Snow White

Mysterious Rose Red

The girls...

Any advice to young artists just starting out?

Be creative. Don't let anybody tell you that anything you create is bad. Everything you make comes from your heart, and nobody should be allowed to judge that! ♥

Thanks Lexxi! It's great to learn a little more about your process and inspiration! Visit Lexxi's shop here to see more of what this talented artist has created ♥

Blythe Foxy Fox Necklace

Willow is wandering about the garden at dusk with her new fox necklace keeping her company. Did you know that some flowers only emit a fragrance in the evening hours? No wonder it is a magic time of day...

New Necklaces for Pullip

Ella is excited for spring! Fresh flowers, afternoon thundershowers, and of course, butterflies in her garden. When Ella can't spend time in her garden, she wears her new butterfly pendant so that she is never far away from nature ♥ 

 

 Exploring the natural world and being inquisitive are just part of Ella's personality. The clever fox seems to be just as interested in learning about her world. Ella accents her vintage fabric dress with a small fox necklace.

 

"What does the fox say?" Wonders Ella.
