Patty is an artist based in Florence, Italy, who uses paper clay and acrylic paint to create the whimsical art dolls she sells in her shop, Dedalos. Each one is lovingly handcrafted before being dressed in miniature garments made from vintage fabrics. In this captivating mini film, we get to watch as one of her charming creations comes to life. Bellissima!

I'm predisposed to love these since they were created in Florence, but what a creative idea! And it's so interesting to see it come together in stop-motion.
