Rock on, Britt Forever

Oh man. I’m looking at my blog post calendar in my planner in shame. It’s been 1.5 weeks! I’ve had 4 posts planned in that period of time, but work has gotten the better of me (work, not even life! 1/3/4/5 am days, boo to you!). The weather has also been horrible, making it horrendous for doll work and sealant – and happy photographs. I’ve been a mopey lady the last week, the husband has even commented. A non-dolly me is a grumpy me it seems :D.

One thing that did perk me up though, was when Britt got to visit for a few days.

Juniper, Miss Peppermint Goodness

I’ve had two Simply Peppermint’s and each time, I can’t bond to them. So, I sent them both off to get a new lease on life, and the first came home this week – Juniper (I named her Juniper meaning young and evergreen). Juniper was sent to the talented Christine at Forty Dolly Winks and I asked her to have fantasy coloured eyeshadows… and a secret little smile.

Giddiness, Fluffiness and Unicorns. Miss My Melody makes her entrance.

Yay.

I’ve never quite fallen in love with a girl before she was even announced. Junko Wong posted a sneak peak of My Melody back in January, with her big fluffy ears and bright pink hair… and I was completely smitten. She’s an adventure to get this girl, but she’s full of snuggliness, and I understand that weird name “Softly Cuddly you and Me” – she looks like she could give you a good hug. I’d like to introduce you to the newest girl in my collection, and the one I’ve had to jump through the most hoops to get.

Pic heavy because I think I have a duty to share her – she’s a rare beast at the moment.

Yay.

Brunette Power and Unfortunate Fashion Choices

Recently I have been totally loving on my brunette girls Agnes (Lorshek Molseh) and my dark-locked Kenner Raven. I received a new hat from from Momo Penguinbaby which was this gorgeous knitted thing with built-in earmuffs and a tiny shroom on top, as well as a new dress from the Pumpkinbelle. So why not have the chocolate-haired girls model?

Comparing the different bodies for Blythe

Recently, I’ve been looking at re-bodying my Forty Winks girl Quinn as I wanted a younger look for her. I was thinking of putting her on a Licca body (which I will do a tutorial for soon) but while I was at it, I thought I would show you the difference between three of the most popular Blythe bodies: the Standard Takara, the Pure Neemo S and the Licca.

On Knotted Things

It is the second week of September, and the sun has finally come out of its long hibernation over the Australian winter, and we were greeted with this lovely, lovely, warm spring day. And what better to do then to make dolls, and photograph dolls! Outdoors! Fresh Air! Quick Drying Things!

Lounging in the sun, miss Cherry Beach Sunset

I was disappointed when I didn’t win the lottery for Cherry Beach – but I guess one of the pros of yammering on about dolls all the time is that my friends start to recognise that I love them. One of them, happening upon this “Tan girl with a blue dress” in Hong Kong, asked me if I wanted to pick her up. Of course I did – and she was within $10 of RRP. I was stoked.

Raven, the Kenner

Remember a few months ago when I was just about to leave the country and the “original” arrived at my door? It was dark when I opened her box and I didn’t have the opportunity to take a proper photograph of her. So here she is – in bunny ears of course.

A little bit Princess, and all-around Fancy, meet the Dauphine

Dauphine Dream is the 14th Anniversary doll for the return of Neo-Blythe. She arrived with much pomp and circumstance, and with a great thud on my door step. Let me introduce you to one fancy lady.

On Fairies and Folklore

It’s such a wonderful thing to have a Blythe/doll related event in Melbourne. We have a BlytheCon (which this year is in Queensland), and now, we have these recurring exhibitions of some of the best Blythe customisers and their work in the world. Fairies and Folklore is the second Blythe exhibition this year, (the last in February), from Auguste Clown Gallery.
