    Dolls

    I started making dolls in 2008.  I bought a sewing maching and started experimenting with it.  I used the black thread as ink and started "drawing" with it on fabric, a whole new world of creativity open in front of me!  Little by little I started creating my own characters, those with the bycicle eyes who I love so much, my Frida dolls and other creatures with long ears called Dream Whisperers! The process of making them is very special, I believe each one of my dolls has a bit of my heart inside of them, I love making them!

    ​

    In this gallery you can see some of my favorite pieces, if you would like to have your own cara carmina doll send me a message!  You can see all my dolls on my Flickr (link in the home page).
