Tuesday Talent - Svetlana Fadeeva

 This Ukrainian lady from the city of Khmelnytsky is Svetlana Fadeeva also selling as 'piece of heart'.  I find the ethereal quality of her cloth dolls to be quite enchanting.  There is a fragility there that is so appealing. You want to bring them in from the cold and look after them.

I particularly enjoy her palette, lots of her dolls have these cool tones and pale grace.  She uses roving and mohair so well and so freely for her hair.  I wish I was braver with my girls.

She has pages on livemaster.ru and you can locate her by 'Светлана Фадеева' and there find lots of her dolls and delicate embroidered insect brooches that she makes. She can also be found on Pinterest, where some of her older dolls are pinned as well as her current stock. Have a look for her, her dolls are so lovely I am sure you will enjoy.
