Lolitas, a doll like you.
Hi! My name is Anabel Gª-Plata, and i´m from Seville, south of Spain. At university I specialized in different topics: history of art, documentation and librarianship. At this moment, I work as a teacher. My great passion, together with literature, is art in general: classic painting, architecture, ceramics… But specially textile art and everything handcrafted.
In whip up i´m going to be a bridge between the English-speaking craft culture and the Spanish/Portuguese-speaking community. Topics as traditional craft, artists and designers and blogs… will be my weekly posts.
For my first post i want to write about handmade/artistic dolls.There are a grand variety of them, from the most classical to the most contemporary.But one of my favorite are the Lolitas. With fabric, needle and thread the ingenious fashion designer surprise us with her infinitive ideas.
Mª del Mar, spanish designer, is the creator of Lolitas. It began with a gift for the designer´s nephew, and this project has been growing and the Lolitas products (brooches, bags, T-shirts) become more and more original every time: you can make a Lolita like you!
Other interesting links
On the other hand, I´m sure you kow the wonderful dolls of Rosa or Hilda, but there are a big world of handmade bonecas (dolls) on the portuguese-blogs and other sites: Madame trapo, Matilde Beldroega, Retrosaria dos Sonhos, Mundo imaginário, Lizette Greco, Chiscol, sebastiãopretocarvão, Cor de Mar, Made with love…

Congratulations, Anabel! I look forward to reading your posts here. I am also from Spain (Asturias), but I have been here in the U.S. since I was 8, and I’m 44 now so my Spanish is a little rusty. I have only been back twice, so I don’t get nearly enough practice. Anyway, it’s nice to come across other creative and crafty Spaniards in the blogosphere. :-)
