It occurred to me that some people are
unaware of the fact that I make all my prams from scratch. People ask me if I modify prams or if I
somehow get the chasses already made. I
of course do not modify or get ready made chasses or anything like that. I don’t use kits, I don’t use plans or
patterns and I have not been on any courses to learn any appropriate trades. I simply have a gift from God. Each pram I make is made from scratch, only
the wheels are sourced but even they require either painting or manipulation of
some kind.
To create one of my prams I first do some
research, this can take hours and hours; I research shapes, styles, mechanics,
materials and more. Next I locate
materials, often this involves more research as I try to find suppliers of the
required materials. I have to work out measurements
and scale the pram to fit the doll it is being created for. I choose colours and fabrics and decide upon
the style then a lot of trial and error goes into the construction process
which again takes many, many hours. Slowly
the pram starts to come together and it is as much a learning curve as a
creation process. Each time I make a
pram I learn more about making them. The
creation process is timely but I do enjoy it and the greatest pleasure comes
from seeing the reactions of other people and the joy that my prams bring.
