The Sculpted Sock
amber van andel
Rockwood, Ontario
Amber has been experimenting with fabrics and textures since she was able to use a sewing machine. In 2013, she started exploring dollmaking, and designed a new version of the classic sock monkey for her boys. Around this time, she had the opportunity to work with British Crafting Magazine, Mollie Makes, to develop an easy make-along sock doll.
Lately, Amber has been learning about Waldorf-inspired natural-fibre art dolls. She incorporates colour and personality into each unique creation, with a belief that everyone can use a little whimsy and cute in their lives.
Along with dollmaking, she is using her sewing machine to create 2D works of free-motion embroidery, or thread sketch. She uses dollmaking scraps and vintage books to create unique textured art pieces.
