Welcome to day seven of the Plushie Palooza Toy Festival. Today’s quirky creation is handmade by Karen from Blossom n Bird. If you think that Miss Betsy-Loo is the perfect dancing partner for you, don’t forget to tell us in the comments section below. Each comment will count as a vote for Blossom n Bird towards the Golden Plushie award.
Betsy-Loo is a dancer, she loves to spin and twirl on her tippy toes in her most favourite red spotty tutu. She is one of a very special family of dolls where the most lovely fabrics are chosen from the fabric scrap bin. Off cuts of the prettiest vintage fabrics are salvaged to become pretty dolls with hand illustrated faces, and each dolly is a one-of-a-kind.
Karen from Blossom n Bird is an artist, illustrator and doll maker and has been making fabric dolls for around four years. She loves being surrounded by sweet little characters made of vintage fabrics, or living in pretty patterned floral worlds. You can find Karen’s art, dolls and illustrations at Etsy or Madeit or visit her blog for the latest news.
I love that she is made from scraps of fabric, such a cutie!
Love how she’s looking away to the side like that, very cute!
Now she is a quirky little one, could easily see her peeking out from our cushions on the couch
