In my previous post, LINK, I showed how to make lucet cord with the Vasilisa Comfort Dolls that have peg legs.
There are also links to a whole slew of videos that I have made about what to make with lucet cord in that post.
I have made another video tutorial that shows how to make lucet cord with the Bee and Ladybug Vasilisa Doll lucets that I design and make.
Here’s the for the video:
I have been enjoying designing and carving Vasilisa Comfort Dolls that are also lucet cord makers.
If you would like to adopt one of the Vasilisa Comfort Doll lucets, please send me a message.

Butterflies are the symbol of transformation, and since everyone I know seems to be experiencing some kind of transformative experience or another, it seems to me to be a good time to make some little butterflies.

They are very quick and easy to make, using a Lucet – although you can also use spool knitted cord, if you prefer.
They can be used to embellish anything that you can think of, or can be stitched to a ribbon for a book mark, or have a pin sewn to the back so they can be worn on a hat, bag, scarf or lapel. They can be attached to a key ring.
They can be used in scrapbooking or card making.
It’s lovely to have one in your pocket to give to a friend who just needs a little comfort…..
Here’s the video for how to make the butterflies:
We are in deep, cold, snowy mid winter in Western Canada, so it’s lovely to have butterflies flittering about the studio, even if I had to make them myself! 🙂
That just reminded me of something that I hadn’t thought of in years….
My mother used to give us ‘Butterfly Kisses’, which were a quick little flutter of her eyelashes on our cheeks.
That’s a dear memory to suddenly pop up… sweet!
Butterfly kisses all round! ❤
