Charity Shop Looks (No 221)

 Today I am happy to report one rather fruitful trip to Charity shop in Kingston during my lunch brake...

She is Honey Bee from Poopsie Mini Fantasy Friends series 

(yes, slightly hyped to get more 2nd hand)

and the other is - just like that - the curvy, teh tanned, the heavy kajal one of teh Barbie Extra Dolls

 Football Jersey Doll

I love Goddess face sculpt and this is a really successful paint!
Especially if you conceal teh pink bits.

I am also considering doing something to her lip colour...

Rather attractive...

Adorbs!

...and now fast-forward into future - a sneaky peak of how she travelled with me in 2024!

First to Florence in February

and then in August, to a resort in Croatia...

Dolls with toys

" Sibling Collectors"

aka Dolls with Toys...

I had so much fun putting it together...
Not only the semi-ambitious diorama walls from foam board (as seen on youtube) but also a splendid display of my cosy sweaters for dolls made from my old one - hand-sewn during my WFH office day LOL

yes, midnight pics yet again...

Hahaha yep, no...needs frames and what not...

Here they are in they burgundy-chesnut glory <3

From close-up to general view of their toy room...

Such a tidy shelf!

More rustic corner...

Disney shelf...

Tinies that refuse to sit up.....

Fluff...

Yum!

So proud :-)

I really enjoy the thread of resemblance

Her fav vintage one...

New diorama- gluegun fun & crafts

Cardbord / cereal boxes, white foam board, doll packaging fun...

I am particularly proud of this barbie profile etched glass idea...

Also these I've been piling for a while...

magazine back-drops tests....

They connot wait!!

Oh, I also had this good quality thin genuine wool vintage cardigan I had to dispose because of holes...but I managed to salvage some for dolls...

,,,and an exercise in white for me...

...she seems to be rather pleased....

Oh...and i started to make a less of a chunky sofa after studying some tutorials more carefully...

again using upcycled linen mix summer trousers in khaki and grey as well as the leftovers of sweater.. 

It is  still not finished as I seem to be stuck with frame size and legs proportions...
