Adieu, adieu
Letting the “Vagabond Strays” go is always a bittersweet day as each one truly touches my heart, and they take a little piece with them when they -happily- leave to meet their new families.
Or, as Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. said it so matter-of-factly: "Once you name it, you start getting attached to it!" 😂
Today my studio seems somewhat empty without them, but I'm also excited that soon there will be other Strays to fill those vacant spots for a while.
Still, I love to see their dear faces pop up on my Instagram feed every now and then! 🥰 If you have adopted one, please tag #vagabondstrays or #zolala, so I can blow a kiss from afar 😘

Mostly musings and meanderings about my work as a seamstress and miniaturist, with all of the joy and struggle that comes with it.
Hello!
My name is Zo, and I'm endlessly fascinated with all things small: dolls, animals, miniatures, dioramas..
I feel very fortunate to be able to combine them all in my work!
Sewing doll clothes and bringing little critters to life allows me to do what I love every day - and connects me with some really amazing people all over the world.
