Iris Apfel (my doll No. 199)

 Iris Apfel, barbie Collector's doll...

and a very thoughtful gift from my new and unexpected boss-friend from Lockdowns...

She thought my hobby is fabulous (and made her buy Victoria doll house in teh end) and that I am an one stylish PA

here is me - expecting on Christmas Eve!

..and a sneaky peak...

..little did I know (for some reason!)

Love the concept, facemold and details.

I get a boxed doll so rarely that, against my ideology, I kept her entrapped on display for over a year and a half...

Before I'll run out of display space this Christmas (fingers crossed) she is getting out to be 

The Star of the Festive Season!

Gorgeous!

And a nose - very much like mine...

...apologies for yellow winter night light!

...one hand free ..and she gets animated suddenly!

Freedomeee....!

Auch! oh no, wait!

..three times in the back of her head!

AND pony tail attached to arm - poor baby!

the shadow of a ghost...

great packaging, lining, woven label...and plastic jewellery :-(

and brogue black ankle boots - just like mine!

POSE!

Oh, poor fur vest got squeeshed in that box...

Lovely bodysuit with two different textures.

The first one without glasses!
She is gorgeous!

 Love the cat-eye,  narrow nose and complexion against the red lip...

The a surprise! plastic protection pants against all the display fastenings and wires...

...sadly not on the chest which apparently needed it!

Charming!
never seen ones like these before...

...and tadaaaam!

Bare and beautifu!

Thank you!

Dear doll diary!

On Saturday 09.03.19 our flower shop was extremely quiet and i could feel my grey cells just dyeing from boredom... luckily for the doll universe we decided I can leave early - right on time to finally check out that one charity shop half-way, that i only see before opening and after closing...

its a bit small and rather shabby inside but as usual, in dignified manner, I headed straight to children's/toy corner. To my surprise in a tangled pile of dolls I saw a tiny articulate feet...

I don't think i processed correctly at first. Maybe its Disney or some random potential donor...
and then EUREKA! its a Made to Move doll. In a bloody charity. Naked...

So I started to dig...
Shockingly they were ONE POUND EACH...

for quite a while every doll i pulled (and it wasn't even a big basket at all) turned out to be yet another MtM OR one of the last years's Fashionistas... oh well...

What can I say... this is how many points of articulation and skin shades 7 pounds can give you (sometimes)!!

knee caps extravaganza!!

Can you believe it!?

Lea has her make-up chipped so she knows  she'll loose her head as first one...

and beautiful sisters!

stiff but gorgeous...

such fun!

Grace & Ryan

Luckily I have such a delays in publishing that one of my favorite sessions from ast year is relevant again as weather definitely cooled down...

yay for scarves and woolly jackets :-)

Originally this supposed to be a post about how cool my footie looks with her new hair...and how charming Grace is after her make-under...

...but lets be honest... Ryan looks amazing in Dr.Whos jacket and this is it...

...and except of bunch of these...

 ...and with exeption for this accidental act of mansplaining!!??

...I have quite a collection of these... enjoy!

oh dear!!

Heathers and Plums

 Inspired by the seasonal weather
...and squeezing it all out of my /off and/ childfree days...repainting, redressing, rebodying...
here is yet another session freshly from my desk - some kind of sentimental autumnal drama is happening here...luckly for us viewers quite well colour-synhronised one;-)

Starring are: my Poca 2 after first attempt of repaint, blase but rebodied Christmas 2016 beauty and dressed down snakesking Fashionistas and another petite-no-more Grace...

I've been desperately busy that last October... hahaha

before and half-way,,,

so much potential..... (unfortunately no time, tools and technique)

First emerged my new queen of hearts...

soon she gets joined by the best friend in her morning sunshine melancholy...

Poca is a lovely girl but not very good at doing her eyebrows unfortunately;-)...

Luckily Grace is slightly more lighthearted...

....yet a little bit of a vain attention whore;-)

oh well, her hair are fab indeed!!

bye!
