How cute is this! I love cloth dolls. There is something so magical about a cloth doll. Perhaps it’s because they are made by hand. It’s as if they carry with them the person who created them. Rosa Pomar is a Portuguese artist who started creating these little critters in 2004 while expecting her first child. She has certainly placed inside each handmade creation a lot of her spirit.
Pomar’s dolls are full of vivid colors and unique patterns. Holding one of these little bunnies can’t help but put a smile on your face. The granddaughter of famed Portuguese painter Julio Pomar,credits her mother for inspiring her. She has fond memories of the cloth dolls her mother made for her as a child and she wanted her child to have the same experience. She was encouraged to start selling her creations by the many people who gave her feedback on her blog. Oh the power of blogging! A great thing about Pomar’s creations is that she uses only high-quality durable and washable fabrics made from natural fibers.
If you speak Portuguese (thanks mom and dad) you’re in luck and can get lots of info on her blog.
