Ilona Vlasenko lives in Finland and makes dolls. Among her characters you can see anyone: a mermaid, a witch, a white rabbit … But one of the works of the craftswoman deserves special attention and admiration. This is the “Pension“At the Snail”. Let's visit the Snail?
"Pension" is a snail doll, pulling on itself a real house. The snail's dwelling consists of two floors, and there is also a small balcony with a rocking chair. And if we look into one of the miniature windows, we will see that everything is "for real" inside too! There are lace pillows on the sofas, clothes are stacked neatly in the closet, and everything is ready for tea on an elegant table. You can even see sweets in a tiny plate: Ilona says that these are beads wrapped in shiny candy wrappers.
As a material, Ilona used light ephoplast and holsey ephoplast, worked in a mixed technique. The dimensions of the toy are small: 37x15x21 centimeters. It remains only to wonder how, with such a size, the craftswoman managed to recreate the house in the smallest detail and achieve such realism. In addition to everything, the doll is equipped with three LEDs, so in the evening a lantern is lit near the front door of the Pension, and a light is lit in cozy rooms.
Ilona Vlasenko did not come to the passion for making dolls right away. In the 90s of the last century, she worked as a graphic designer in kindergartens and did illustrations for materials for children in the Finnish-language magazine Punalippu. Ilona began to study the author's doll in 2007, and the "Pension" U Ulitki "appeared a year later - in 2008. At the present time, the craftswoman leads the bast of lovers of the author's doll "Nukkemaailma" - "The Puppet World" - in Helsinki, and also creates characters for the "Fairy Tale" puppet theater in the city of Vanta.
More photos of the "Pension" and more small details can be seen in the blog of Ilona Vlasenko.
