Natural handcrafted wooden toys by Emily Balivet.

Inspired by Kinderkram's beautiful play sets and wooden figures that are found in natural toy stores.

Keeping
in line
with my
philosoph
y that one
should
first
attempt
to make
for
themselve
s the
things
that they
desire (or
second,
buy from
those
who do),  
I
attempted
to create
a few
wooden
dolls for
my
children.
My
inspiratio
n kept
flowing
until over
a month
had past
and I had
created
multiple
miniature
worlds of
sculpted
wood.  
What
kept me
going
was
connectin
g all the
players in
the fairy
tales. For
example:  
If I had a
wolf,  I
could
make the
character
s for
Peter and
the Wolf
and Little
Red Cap.
With the
woodcutt
er from
Little Red
Cap I
could
make
Hansel
and
Gretel
and so
on...

So here they
are. Please
note: these
toys are well
loved and
played with.
They are not
for sale.
However, I
will
accept
commissio
ned work
for
individual
figures or
for entire
sets. I can
also work
from a
photo to
create dolls
or puzzles in
the likeness
of
whomever
you wish!
Naturally,
no two
figures
would ever
be exactly
alike.
