My latest commission

I would like to show you my latest commission.  I was given a photo and asked to create a doll for her Mom's birthday this year.  The picture was a picture of her Mom at her 50th birthday party last year.  She had a 70's party.   Please excuse my pics.  The first pic is a picture of a picture. I couldn't seem to get a good shot without the glare (yes, I even took a few without the flash, but to no avail).

Please meet Ms. Gladys.

My first....any maybe my last repaint

Thanks to Chynadoll I finished my first...and maybe last repaint.  I raise my hat to all repainters.  This was a real challenge!!  I went to JoAnn's today and purchased Liquidtex paint, a couple of brushes (10/0, 5/0), a palette to mix the paint and a sealer.  Next, I had to decide on who would  be my victim.  I had the hardest time trying to decide on what doll I was willing to mess up (lol!).  Finally, I thought of a doll that I received as a partial trade for some comissioned work that I had done some years ago.  The victim...excuse me, the doll is Janay that was an Official Designer Kit doll from Wu Con 2003.  She came with a pattern, spool of hair, and  instructions on how to reroot the hair and list of supplies needed for painting the face.  I told Chynadoll that I would share regardless of how scary the doll turned out, so without further ado, here she is.....

 Drum roll.......



Without the eyes sealed



 

The eyes have been sealed





Nadja is totally amazed




"You know it's impolite to stare, right?"





"Really Nadja, it's not that serious!"




Carmen

I plan to give her eyelashes (either rooted or glue some on).  Thanks Chynadoll for giving me inspiration to take the challenge.

Be blessed,

I have completely lost my mind!!

I repeat, I have completely lost my mind!  In my last post the first paragraph clearly states that I am suppose to be on no doll/doll related spending.  I have done everything but that!  After checking out Van's Doll Treasures post on new Barbie Collector Sale and Barbie Basic 2.5, I purchased the new Basic dolls (thanks alot Vanessa-Lol!).  I realized after I confirmed the payment that I should not have been purchasing ANYTHING.  I did get a great deal though.  The three dolls and accessory pack 01 all for $42.75.  I used my $20 Fan club reward and received an additional $20 off for orders over $75.  However, I have completely blown my doll budget for July, August and September!!  I have purchased the following dolls since my last post that was in July....SMH!

New SIS Dolls

I am suppose to be on "no doll or doll related shopping" for a month.  Well, I have already blown that and it is just the 6th of July.  The New Pastry girls have arrived in the ATL!!  They are too cute and I could not resist.  Walmart only had two of them, Grace and Kara.  Enough said, judge for your yourself....so pretty!!

OOAKs created by Me (Part II)

I have uploaded more OOAKs that are in no particular order of creation.  Most of  these are dolls were created as early as 1998.  I didn't realize that I had so many OOAKs until I pulled them out of the curio to take pics.  As I stated in Part I, this is the first time that these dolls have been photographed.
