Not sure if it's really a commission when you're doing it for a gift, but my friend Sandy Pants is my RL gal pal and the one I "doll out" with. She's the only person near me with a doll of her own, and a few weeks ago she surprised me by asking if I [...]
Well, he's finally done. Well, besides the lashes and new eyes that haven't arrived yet, he's done. I'm hoping the eyelashes really bring him together, because there are a few little odds and ends that sort of irk me, but not enough to dive in and redo his faceup just yet. A comparison picture: I [...]
AN OLD NEMESIS RETURNS... WILL OUR HEROINE TRIUMPH OR TASTE THE COLD SOUP OF DEFEAT?! TUNE IN NEXT WEEK TO FIND OUT... In all seriousness, this is Atticus. Atticus is my DS18M Dollshe Saint. I love Atticus, but he is by far my biggest problem child. He's impossible to shop for, near impossible to restring [...]
Alright so this time was a little bit better. I learned to use the regulator so the air pressure wasn't quite so bad. I also played around a little with her ears for a future face up on Fray (I'd really like the tips of his ears to be black). So without further ado, here's [...]
I wasn't going to post this at first, but the more I think about it, the more I feel it might be important to. So... Here was my first attempt at airbrushing. I've learned a few things from this experience: You can't cut acrylic airbrush paint with water. Probably shouldn't use acrylic paint right now [...]
IT'S 2016! YAY! Here's one of my new years resolutions: become acquainted with this tool- Instead of asking for a new doll or video game this year, I figured it was about time to step up my faceup game. I'd been thinking about investing in an airbrush for awhile, but I knew little to nothing [...]
Onto the second de-yellowing method: Oxiclean! Billy Mays, you best not disappoint me (may you rest in peace). After the baking soda & peroxide debacle, I didn't have a whole lot of expectations for this. Nothing, of course, will get dolls back to their original factory color. It's just not going to happen. Yellowing is [...]
So, a few things here. I noticed when I did my Amber box opening that my poor Dollshe Saint Atticus has done a bit of yellowing in his age. He'll be 5 years old this July. 5 YEARS!! I can't believe I've had him that long. My first doll is 7, but I'll get to [...]
I haven't really talked about her much, but I have a Bobobie Pixie that was given to me by a cherished friend. She was the first doll I was ever gifted, and that's why I wanted to make sure she looked awesome before I reintroduced her to the world. But of course, plans don't always [...]
With another new splash of inspiration comes new goals and new plans. Luckily, it couldn't have come at a better time. Immortality of Soul is selling most of their dolls for one last time before discontinuing them. It's both sad and great news. Great in the sense that I didn't think I'd have another shot [...]
