Whenever I bump into cute stuff it’s like my inner child (some might say that I’m still a bit of a child) comes to life. And… when it happens, I usually need to let it out and share it with you, my sweet breakers! Sweet Bestiary is the cutest love child of Flor Panichelli. Flor is the one responsible for these cute as a button tiny creatures with her two magical hands and a pile of paper clay. Magical kingdoms might be only a fairy tail but in Flor’s universe anything is possible. and you’ll find a mix of swimmer in a teacup, a family of happy spotty cacti and many more.

Whenever a friend of mine shares with me one of his/hers designer/artist friends I get super excited because it means that they think of me as a blogger (I still can’t believe that this is my day job!) Anyways, apparently Kukula (aka Nataly Abramovich) is a well known name worldwide and it happens that she is an Israeli among other things. Nataly’s look alike dolls are not your average dolls. She puts so many emotion and pain into their facial expressions and body language. I bet there is a lot I don’t know about the behind the scene process but I sure do would love to!

We all go through different phases when we don’t really find our place and need some space in order to figure things out. Once I bumped into Timor Cohen’s extended family of dolls it made things a little bit clearer. We all have families and they are all different from one another but one thing is for sure, your family is yours to keep. Sorry for the heavy post, you guys… It wasn’t supposed to turn out this way, however some days are a bit darker than others. On a lighter note, let me leave you with my very own favorite family by Timor. She sure knows how to mix and match all kinds of characters and brings their different personalities to life.

It’s no secret that I have dollmania. I mean, I have more dolls then I can count… and so while wandering around the rooms of The Jewelry and Fashion Department at the Bezalel Academy, I didn’t expect to bump into these furry creatures, but it sure was a nice surprise!
Noga Ravin’s Frienfs “change their shape in the course of their ware, so that it becomes their strength rather than weakness. Thus, the usage and time can be a supporting quality and a fertile ground for regeneration.”
Did I mention I wouldn’t mind one of them by my bedside?

Gal Shkedi is an illustrator and animator, a brilliant one! Since first bumping into his criminal russian dolls almost three years ago, I’ve been hooked. This guy has such a unique way of portraying emotions in each and every project.
His latest project is a some sort of animation for Holy Divine, a song by the Israeli indie band, Love Grenade. It all began, when Gal wanted to create an animation with a real life doll. I have a feeling that this super touching bearded creature will be around for a while… Can’t wait to see some more melancholic animated moments, with him as the lead star.

Can you imagine your close family and friends as little miniatures?
I certainly can!
Well, Keren Rosen took it up a notch and actually made an army of little minis. I love the fact that she tried to capture their spirit and personality by adding just a dash of color.
Keren is one of those people who likes to keep themselves busy at all times and beside her daily work as an industrial designer, she sketches… like EVERY DAY kind of thing and even has time for other side projects. I don’t know what about you but I feel like I have to step up my game… ;)

I have a thing for owls, I can’t really explain why but when it comes down to this big headed animal and it’s huge eyes I melt inside…
Adiya Berkovich and her magic hands is the one responsible for all these Buligaia Owls. She manages to capture their lovable face expressions and I just love it!
All I want to do do is grab Owl John (my absolute fav) and cuddle him!

Just one more thing, I really enjoyed the movie Legend of the Guardians. Yep, it’s about owls ;)
