A small set with a lot of texture, and the size at which that texture starts to show.

Who is in the set

Five in the Magicampers crochet doll set: Bodhi, Chiffen, Darly, Dracoon and Fifi.

Texture instead of costume

This set is not built on outfits. What separates the five is surface — fur worked in loops, smooth bodies, and shaped ears and tails set in as their own pieces. Loop stitch is slow and it is the reason a small set takes longer than five dolls should.

Small sets suit whole orders

Five is the number people actually buy together. Unlike a ten or thirteen doll set, the whole group fits one order and one shelf, and that is how most of these leave the studio.

Which size

8 inches upwards. At 6 the looped texture flattens into something closer to a plain surface, which removes the thing that makes the set distinct.

Where they come from

A summer camp where the magic is treated as ordinary and the ordinary parts — friendship, boredom, getting lost — are treated as the adventure.

The characters are built from texture rather than costume, which is unusual and which decides how the dolls are made: looped fur, shaped ears and tails instead of clothes.
