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…

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.

Where have I been?

It’s been ages and ages, I know and so much has happened sonce I last post. There was IFDC which was great and I was obsessing about our election here in the U.S. and thankfully my guy won!

I’ve done several customs in between and encourage people to view my flickr to see what I worked on the last few months. I did a few face-ups and am improving there. It makes me what to redo my earlier face-ups now that I’m getting the hang of it. I did redo my Lati Lea and Miel a while back.

I’m back with my obsession of Blythe. My latest girl is the one pictured. She was previously a Hello Harvest. Her hair was dyed this vibrant red and I gave her bangs. I redid her make-up as well and am really happy with the results. I think I’ll add a beauty mark and I’d like to make her an outfit if I can squeeze that in. I’ll probably sell her but I’m enjoying her company for the moment.

I had to close my commission book for the time being until I get caught up on those. One of my more recent ones that was very time consuming was this mohair re-root of Fruit Punch. I also redid her make-up as well. I definetly want to do more mohairs because they have such personality and I love the dyed ones in different fantasy colors. I dyed this batch with tangerine RIT dye. Her owner is happy and she came in time for Halloween. I think her colors are appropiate for that season.

I shall sign off for now and try to post more with my recent works in the coming weeks.

Knee deep

Where to begin? It’s been some time since I’ve updated. I’ve been knee deep in trying to get some dolls ready for IFDC at the end of July. But here’s a recent custom. Another gothy type girl for a customer who desperately wanted her own goth girl after seeing the other 2 I did recently.

My Lati babies finally arrived after 2 months since ordering them and then I added 2 more on top of that so now I have 6 yellows. I think I’ll stop there for now. They’ve restocked too so I could get a Lami but I don’t feel I need her. I’ve reached my saturation point with six so unless I let one go I won’t be getting her anytime soon.

So, after getting the other bebes with Lati’s default make-up I finally decided to redo my Lea. I had originally done her to be similar to the company’s default because that’s what I liked at the time but now after seeing some more face-ups from other artists, I wanted to put my own touch to her. I LOVE the results and I don’t think I’ll ever order a basic doll with make-up now that my skills are improving. Also pictured is my Luts KD Bory who ended up getting repainted as well. Now I’m happy with them and can stop fussing over what I didn’t like before.

It’s hard to catch the subtlety of Bory’s brows and they look better in person than this picture. I just want to keeping going at it with doing these resin beauties make-up but I unless I redo every doll I have I’m out of dolls to do. I’ll take more pictures of these cuties tomorrow but untill then I must get back to finishing my dolls for the convention.

Till next time!
