Blanca - Winter edition

After beyond improvised pics of my pale pensive Blanka I've decided to make her some clothes as she is way off scale...

It was still wintery pre-christmas time hence colours and styling...
I have lade her felt elf slippers, evergreen socks, lace skirt with ribbons. She is also wearing newborns blause and a shawl from my old open-work cardi. Her hair accessory is made from old babyclothes as well;-)
Queen of upcycling!!!

She seens to be happy and cosy.
Hope you will enjoy too



she seems to like her accessories...




:-)



 12 months till next Christmas!

My doll nr. 98

After finding Melrose at carboot sale I tottaly fell in love with Moxie Teenz scale, proportions and their haunting eyes... Melrose however has tanned skin but her blue eyes and pearly lips are screaming blonde... I dreamed about mixed-race or brunette doll...

I found Tristen on eBay, nude and not so over-priced as most of these discontinued dolls are...and for the first time I  bidded on my mobile phone while in different town;-)
(On that day, while visiting seaside i found a nice shop with lots of miniatures, wigs and figurines and managed to get some chocolate brown medium length hair pieces for my future projects).

oh the sheer excitement of a new delivery!



tadaaaa
Fair skin and lavender-brown eyes with lashes to die for...


and a first portrait...
I first started with playing with Liv's wigs - so many possibilities, so much fun!



Although she is assigned as a pale brunette I think I love her the most in wavy dark brown hair, hmmm

Few months later I was still stuck playing around with wigs (and better camera) - as I don't have many clothes in their scale and officially no time to sew...


sisters <3

...her original outfit and packaging (no, thank you)

..and here she is with Bijou (maybe one day...) and in different owners styling...

Nr 85 in progress


I stumbled upon this one in a huge basket of softies - articulated leg spotted immediately... I don't care about Disney dolls but this body was interesting and mold can always be repainted, right?

She turned out to belong to Disney's limited / special edition 18" articulated and singing dolls.
Mine has dead batteries and hair in such a bad condition that I won't feel much guilt...


At this point I think I have another head for this body but let's examine this terribly cute Aurora (oh, forgot she even had her dress):


her body looks like that:

 and in comparison with regular 'Barbie'
she isn't very easy to pose - rather stiff and heavy...




 you can see and hear her in more detail on ToyBoxPhilosopher's blog...
few tribute shots before she will be changed for ever....
