Far from being just another toy for little children to play with, dolls have captured the imagination of children around the world, and are often a childâs most treasured possession.
Over the years, artisans have been revolutionising the whole idea of dolls, including dollmaker Yeo Mei Ying, who has crafted different looks and created custom clothes and accessories like handbags, weapons and shoes. She shares her creations on her Instagram at @evangelione.
Yeo explained: âI have always been into crafting and dolls. I started making dolls while I was in primary school, but those were just simple stuffing dolls and paper dolls.
âI started turning my passion into a business in 2006. I was blogging about my handmade works and dolls, and people started requesting to purchase them.â
Yeo believes that there are endless possibilities in terms of creativity when comes to dollmaking, and decided to explore creating dolls with various types of materials and experimenting with different techniques, carving her own niche in the world of dolls.
As the orders kept coming in, Yeo took the opportunity to hone her skills and expand her online business (www.evangelione.com) by opening a physical shop in 2015.
