A little prehistory.
My children, daughter and son, have long grown and live on their own families. Daughter's family moved to Russia a few years ago, for thousands of kilometers from us. We see nothing often, you can even say rarely, and very, very much miss each other.
And so, probably because I often remember and think about it, I wanted to share with you today's story.
A few years ago, Julia first began to make crafts (Handmade) in various techniques. At first it was souvenirs for friends and relatives, but then this hobby turned into a serious matter, which she is doing now, I think, professionally.
The most amazing, personally for me is that it was not observed in her childhood and inclinations to such creativity. Drawing lessons for us were a carriage - I had to draw my mom in the album, sew and knit, I also could not teach her, she just did not want to do it, was indifferent to cooking. I was deeply in my soul that as a mother could not make the daughters to instill "female" skills and skills.
But life has shown that the experiences were in vain. Now I'm already learning from Yulia, and cook new dishes, and do something with your hands.
Its last passion and achievement - Blyz dolls. When she spoke to me on them, with such enthusiasm, love and excitement, I honestly did not understand what it was about.

I had to climb Wikipedia to study the question.
So, Blyz (English.Blythe) - a collectible doll, a distinctive feature of which are disproportionately large to the body of the head
Working on Blyz's face design, the creators were inspired by painting Margaret Kean, known for her paintings, on which she portrayed mainly girls and animals with disproportionately large, but beautiful eyes.
Nowadays, Blyz is a collectibles facility for adults.

But Blyz doll is "semi-finished" for Julia. She is engaged in alteration of dolls. In the environment of professionals, such a remission and modification is called "Castom", from the English. Custom.
The purpose of Castoma is to make a doll in its own way (Ooak - One of A Kind).
Various casteomeric techniques and techniques make it possible to change the colors of the eyes, hair doll, the form of the mouth and the nose, makeup. Many masters (ioachers) work to order and if desired, maybe, for example, create a doll an image that copes the appearance of the owner, or make any other changes to the image of the customer's doll.

Applications with their, almost secret developments, they will not share, it is an exclusive. But I know that the dolls are some kind of "drink", and this work is very not even simple.

In winter, in December 2017, she was invited to Moscow, to the exhibition "Art of dolls."
She drove there their textile dolls.

It is only a small part of her creative work.
For me, honestly, remains a mystery when she all time to do it.
After all, Julia is a large mother! She has three wonderful sons, my favorite grandchildren!
