Lilli&Tom miniatures wear vintage kimono fabrics

Who are these two Brisbane dudes? On the left is Alex: he presents a music program on 4zzz (the coolest independent radio station in Brisbane). He collects Japanese manga and enjoys taking his little brother for family picnics to New Farm Park and Mt Cootha Botanic Gardens.
On the right in the jeans is Lee: he works in the city, the usual office job but that's ok, there's always Perisher Ski Resort come winter.

The stories are completely fictional, the dolls are not actual brisbane people rather they are an expression of the creative type of people that live in Brisbane. Creative doesn't just mean the Arts, creativity begins with enthusiasm and curiosity.

Look closely at the fabrics I've used in the miniatures clothes; they are mainly vintage kimono fabrics. These fine and varied fabrics from Japan often have very small patterns which suit the miniature scale. I chose the fabrics for the clothes and then arrange the fabric on the body of the doll to develop the style of the shirt and pants. Letting the nature of the fabric speak creates unique styles.
