Semi-annual Barbie convention in Munich - spring 2015

Today was the semi-annual Barbie convention in Munich. Again I found nice things for my collection. Some are fitting for the 60s/70s, others for 1900.
I even saw an expensive Karl Lagerfeld Barbie doll and it sold! (I did not buy it!)

Mini Teddybears suitable for 1/6 scale

I did the little red teddy from the "Little Red Ted-kit" (3'') from Emily Farmer. Many years ago, when I was still a teenager I bought the kit at a teddy convention and started working on it. Somehow I stopped and just recently I found the unfinished kit in a drawer. So now, 20 years later I finished this bear.
After a quick search online I realised this kit is still available.

A friend kindly gave me the pattern for the bear on wheels.

School boy project - shoes

Here is my first try on the school sandals, also known as t-strap sandals. I am not entirely happy with them. Making these small shoes is pretty fiddly.
