Ethereal in Blue



I love this girl, originally uploaded by sylviecoladolls.

Well, I’m way behind on my dolly blogging.
This lovely girl was done last month and I’ve done a few other girls since then. But, I just had to share this lovely girl.

She’s was commissioned quite a long time ago. My dolly friend told me almost a year and a half ago that she wanted a blue mohair Blythe done by me and she’d wait for as long as she had to to get her. She knew I was due to have a baby and that I’d have my hands full.
Alas, I finally got around to her. After having my son, my schedule some how got filled up with commissions. I’m not sure how that happened but I guess I wasn’t too good at saying no.

I’m so glad she waited and I finally got to do her. I really love how she came out and will get to see her again in Vegas for IFDC. That’s coming up pretty quick and I’ll talk more about that later.

What really draws me into this particular girl is the color of her hair is so soothing and it’s so soft. Just dreamy. I can’t wait to reunite with her and my dolly friends, of course!

Bye for now!

Wendy Dreary came for a fix-up

Wendy Dreary came for a fixup, originally uploaded by sylviecola(trying to catch up.).

This lovely sad girl I customized a few years ago was showing some wear and tear in her photos.  So, I asked her owner to send her back to me to fix up. She really loves her Wendy Dreary and was reluctant at first and said she couldn’t stand to be away from her.  But she finally sent her over.

It’s kind of nice to reunite with what was one of my first Blythe dolls. She was previously a Rainy Day Parade and was the one doll that perked my interest in Blythe. I think I wanted her most of all but went for some less expensive dolls.  I gave in eventually.  Now I know if there’s a doll I really want, I just need to plan on getting it instead of trying to satisfy my want with a cheaper doll.

Eventually, she turned into Wendy Dreary for a collector friend who was wanting me to do a goth girl for her. And Wendy has been very dreary. She got stuck at the post office without a notice to her mom. We wondered where Wendy disappeared to but her mom persisted and she had been sitting at her local post the whole time. So from the start she’s had a rough life in this incarnation.

Now she’s all freshened up and I will ship her back and hope there isn’t another strange ordeal of being lost in the wilderness.

Introducing Merlot



Somewhere out there, originally uploaded by sylviecola(trying to catch up.).

This lovely girl is a factory Blythe. What are factory Blythes you say? I’m not completely sure. It appears to be someone that works at the factory grabbing reject parts of the Blythe dolls and putting them together in these interesting combinations. So this girl has Natasha Moore’s hair on a translucent face which could be from a yet to be released doll or a sample. This girl’s original make-up wasn’t put on very neatly so I didn’t feel too bad about removing it and giving her a new face-up.

I worked on her for Mother’s day. That was my idea of a fun day. Now it’s back to commissions.

I’m offering her for sale. She is listed on Plastic Paradise and I will probably put her up on my website. She is a bit more rare because of her random parts so she is priced accordingly. I really like this girl so if she doesn’t have takers I’ll be happy to keep her. I will bring her to IFDC if she’s still around and offer her for sale there as well. But there is no promise that she’ll still be available by then.

Ciao for now!
