Second, I, instead of doing the crafts I had planned, spent the weekend modding the Blythe knockoff I acquired. HOLY CRUD getting her old eyechips out was just about the hardest thing ever... but here are the results:
Remember how she used to look?
Here she is now, I changed her hair, sculpted her lips, repainted her face and changed all her eyechips. *whew* Next up? A New body for her!
Much more interesting - good for you! Perhaps she needs a thought bubble - "No one messes with my bunny shoes." Did you envision this or did it evolve as you went?

She does have quite the defensive stance there, doesn't she?!
ReplyDeleteThe only plan I had was that I wanted to give her a more retro hairstyle... because I really like how retro these dolls look in photographs (probably because they were designed in the 70s!)
I wasn't sure until I removed the paint from her lips if I'd be modding them or not (it's really scary to take an exacto to a dolls face!)... but once I got going (making sure I went slow) it was really easy... it was a really fun weekend project... but you *definitely* should have a dremel handy! (with lots o' bits... including a buffer!) Oh... and a tiny (like, glasses size) screw driver!
LOVE her new look! Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteAs with all us dolls a good makeover goes a long way to making us happy!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're having fun Heather.
