Crunch Time

Maggie's girl

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted last but I’ve been working on stuff and the latest is a mohair custom I finished for a customer. I’m really pleased with her outcome. Mohair is tricky to work with and gets matted so easily so it takes me a while to detangle it after finishing the rooting. She has a Cool Cat scalp and eye chips and was previously a Prima Dolly Aubrena. I airbrushed her make-up in pinkish tones including some airbrushing on the lips. I must admit she’s pretty dreamy and I wanted to play with her more but her owner didn’t waste any time paying for her so off she went just as soon as she was finished.

I say crunch time because I’m expecting any day now so I had to get as much done as possible before the new living dolly make his entrance. This may keep me away for a while although I hope not and hope to get back to work after some recovery time. In fact, I’m expecting the new set of Prima dollies toward the end of the month so hopefully that will motivate me to get back to work. Or at least provide some much needed doll therapy.

I’ve also had many people ask if I’ll be putting up more episodes of The Chronicles of Judith and my answer is yes, I hope so! Probably slow but definitely plan to continue for as long as my sister writes for it and my husband is willing to do music for it.

But for now I prepare for the new one which will definitly keep me busy. Until then, sianara!

Best Intentions

My one SBL

Hello all. I hope everyone is getting ready to have a festive Holiday.  We’ve been busy with getting gifts off and kids being off school. I’m still working on mostly Momoko commissions and sneaking in some Blythe customizing to keep things interesting. Above is a new girl that I tried to hold off getting.  I originally just wanted her for her scalp so I could put it on Miss Sally Rice. She looks really good with other hair and many Blythe collectors have been experimenting with different scalps. And for now, Miss Sally Rice is still reasonably priced.

However, she will probably go the way of Ebony who was the cheapest and least popular of the Primadolly 2’s and became popular as a base doll for customizing. But then she became harder to come by just stock and now is hard to find and expensive.  To think I had an Ebony. Sigh… She was one of my first customs. Ah well.

Anyway, this girl above is Bow Wow Traditional and since she’s an SBL, I intended to break her down for her scalp and use her as a custom base. I’m not too fond of the SBL mold so I usually pass on these dolls. But I really like this girl and now my plans have been dashed for now. I’m just keeping her as is. I wish CWC would make more jet black haired girls. Especially an RBL girl. I would buy several.

Have a wonderful Holiday Season and stay tuned for more episodes of The Chronicles of Judith.

Introducing Judith.

Surveying her surroundings

I sold my first Prima dolly Aubrey I earlier this year but then CWC came out with an encore version so I jumped on getting another one at the Prima Dolly introductory price. I finally got around to giving her her own special look and personality. So here’s Judith and she may be starting her own blog chronicling her life in Suburbia as a boarder of a soon to be family of five. As you can see she’s pretty nervous.

Below is a very light custom I did for a dolly friend who always keeps me busy with her huge collection of dolls and ideas. She’s Mod Molly with some added make-up changes. I kept her green eye shadow and airbrushed a fresh yellow on her lids. I also repainted her lips and added more blush. She’s been given new lashes and sleep eyes and boggle. Nothing too dramatic from the original as I think Mod Molly is a great doll to begin with. She already had this hair cut but I went ahead and evened it out and fixed the wonky bangs that, for some reason, always need adjusting on stock Blythes.

She’s borrowing a sweater that my mom knitted. Perhaps I could get mom to knit more of these cardigans in different colors…

Iveta's girl

Well, back to work on the line of Momokos waiting to be madeover for those who wait. But I just had to have a Blythe binge the past week and get it out of my system.
