My cute Korean dol cake toppers. A funny and cute handmade idea as party supply and keepsake!

Just completing two orders for cute Korean dol cake toppers!

Dol is a Korean tradition that celebrates the birthday of a one-year-old baby. This ceremony blesses the child with a prosperous future and has taken on great significance in Korea. The birthday babies wear traditional outfit (hanbok) and hat. (from Wikipedia)

So, these cake toppers are a unique and original idea for the party! It's a long work for a beautiful result: the hanboks are personalized handpainting the little embroidered details of the actual outfits that the baby girls (or boys) will wear on their big day! It's a pleasure for me look at the pictures that my clients send with their lovely children, so elegant in their hanboks!

I started to create these cake toppers after my first custom order and I'm receiving new orders. I changed some details, always searching a better result for a figurine that will last as keepsake! It's also possible to add an ox or cow (babies born in the Year of the Ox).

HOW TO ORDER:

A funny and original sculpture desktop calendar!

My sculpture bubbles desktop calendar takes part at the Etsy Italia Team challenge "Happy new year in white and red" . It's an original creation that I really like, so colorful with its red and white bubbles! This calendar brings fun and color in my desktop! It can be also a useful gift to wish a funny 2010! The base is handmade of modelling clay and the calendar of cardstock. And morover, it's ecofriendly: next year you can only purchase the cardstock part (the calendar) and re-use again the funny bubble base! It's available in all color combination, just ask! And, if you purchase it during the year, I can send you the calendar that start in the month you prefer (i.e.: February 2010- February 2011). You can read the complete description on my Etsy shop (my contact: passionarte.handmade@yahoo.it).
