Nathalie Amiel is a talented artist and mom of six from Israel who designs and hand-crafts unique crochet dolls that are bellowed by children all over the world.
Nathalie was into crocheting, knitting, and crafting since she “can remember” and came up with the idea to try her luck with handmade dolls while her youngest daughter had nap time. At first, she only made dolls for her kids and friends, but then decided to showcase some of them on social media at her son’s suggestion.
“I had no clue and no idea what to do so my son showed me how to post pictures so people would start seeing the things I make.” – Nathalie describes her early beginnings.
Since then, Nathalie’s works have captured the attention of parents all over the world who find them as perfect gifts for their kids especially since she also does “look-alike” dolls. She also creates dolls for children with special needs, something that she takes great pride in.
“I specialize in creating look-a-like dolls and make sure to capture every one’s specific spirit and character, taking extra care when I create dolls for children with special needs because I know this will be the only time they will find a doll that looks just like them.” – she explains.
