Nostalgia

As much as I enjoy making unusual pull carts, with unexpected (or mythical, or extinct) creatures big and small, I can't help but being drawn back to the more old-fashioned rides every now and then. The traditional horses, donkeys, elephants, bears..

Those were common in the long bygone days when the world was much smaller, and its children were delighted with toys depicting figures they were familiar with in real life. And they did not love those humble playmates any less: there's just something so soothing about having your favorite companion so faithfully following you everywhere you go - that is of all times and all generations.

So here's Russet, a little Pinto pony - a fond tribute to the classic pull-along animals and the joy they brought 💕

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.
