Boy Will Be Boys

I made this video very early in the summer but wasn't able  to upload it until today. I'll be adding regular doll videos now that I've figured out what the problem was. Hope you enjoy this.

Saturday Style

This is Miss Dena's Saturday look. Animal print and dark glasses add mystery to an otherwise ho-hum weekend.

My New Favorite Girl - Dena

I admit it. This is now my new favorite doll. Could it be because she is also my first successful repaint? No I didn't know what I was doing or why I chose to jump in on a doll that I didn't have nor would be able to find a replacement for. I guess I'm just crazy like that! Anyway I love her. Other than an extreme case of hair breakage...she's perfect. She shaped similar to me but as far as proportions goes, I'm taller, my arms aren't as long, neck isn't as thick and calves not as big. Maybe we don't have a similar build. Let's just say I'm closer to her proportions than I am to a Barbie doll. She's got curves and is not built like a teenage boy!

I plan on her wardrobe being as impressive as mine. Now I just need to learn to make doll wigs or how to install a doll weave! LOL. We had quite the photo session

A New Arrival

A new girl has moved into the house. My Dena arrived yesterday. She's a plus size girl. Of course she was stark naked and barefoot so I had to quickly make her an outfit and shoes as there are lots of men in the house. I wish I'd been able to get a Dasia but sometimes you just have to take what you get. I noticed there is a difference between the coloring of her body and face. Also as I was separating the curls in her hair several locks came off and some other are just disintegrating. Is that normal? At this rate I'm going to have to learn to reroot or make wigs.

I crocheted the top but need to tweak the pattern some. I added different color to her eyelids and lips. The shoes are made out of cardstock, craft foam and elastic. The necklace is one I made which all the dolls have to share. She made a quick stop by the Man Cave and  may have already found herself a man. She'll fit perfectly into another project I already have going.

A Touch of Red

Last week's clothing capsule was such a big hit with my dolls. I was encouraged to make another small collection. I'm call this one "A Touch of Red" because the accessories are the only red. This too is a hit. I might have to take a little time and sew something for myself!

 This collection includes a halter dress, a halter top with contrasting thread, a crocheted tank top, high waist wide leg pants, a skirt with flounce and lace capelet.

Summer Clothing Collection

Instead of just making random doll clothes, I decided to try my hand at making a collection of sorts.

The white top is a Simplicity sewing pattern but the other pieces are original and drafted by me. I really like the outcome. I wasn't sure the large print would work but it did. I'm currently working on another collection and it is coming along nicely.
