Those who are Always Forgotten: Textile Bearded Dolls by Kristina Rockanddoll

Once the company that creates Barbie dolls, released Dream Wedding set. It has everything that almost every girl dreams of — from a fabulous outfit to a multi-storey cake, all the details were thought out. The only thing missing was Ken. Can you imagine?
Anyway, you cannot but agree that Kens sold at that time were of the same type, boring, and you could do without them, at least you could convince parents to buy you one.

Now the world of dolls has not changed much — there are a lot of incredibly cute and detailed doll-girls, but male characters are most often either mythical creatures like fauns or centaurs, or thin androgynous young men.

So, the work by Kristina Rockanddoll immediately catches your eye. Her characters are brutal textile bearded (you can see that they are good-natured in their heart), covered with tattoos. Kristina lives in St. Petersburg. Together with her cat she sews and paints these unusual characters and complements their looks with detials. What cozy pajamas! Sometimes she does portrait work, and sometimes she creates a new bearded hipster by the will of her imagination — for example, with a mermaid tail.

Do you know this nice tradition — to travel with a toy, photographing it on the iconic places of your route? I think such a bearded man, especially if you provide him with a stylish leather backpack, can be the best character in such pictures!
