Small Blythe Clones

I was looking through my boxes of craft supplies when I came across two dolls I forgot I had. I bought them earlier last year thinking I'd customize them when I had time. I don't have time! 

 Both of them are "Blyh" 8 inch dolls in good used condition.  Both have minor issues, but would be good for customizing. Their eye mechanisms do work. They're really dainty and cute! :)

I've decided to part with these two. It's kind of silly just to keep them in a box under the table...

Looby Lou Doll- Candy Stripes

 

One dolly makeover finished, six to go! :) 

Six Felt Pose Dolls

 Six pixie pose dolls ready for Christmas. :)

Doll Face Wall Art and Shelf Sitter Doll

 Wall art finished. :)

Also another pose doll/shelf sitter. Made with 50's Christmas fabric. I'm keeping this doll. :)

Mask Face Doll- Polka Dotty

 Another cute vintage-style doll I finished today. 

Weird Felt Mask Face Dolls

More tumble or wobble dolls. :)

 I made the two felt ones a while back, but the third one I finished this morning.I spent the rest of the morning making new listings in my Etsy shop. Got plushies, too!

Grandma's Old Toni Doll

We just finished our first craft show of the year, and while sitting in our booth the first day, my mother visited us. She always brings stuff my Grandma sends for me, and this time she sent a vintage Toni doll.
This particular Toni doll is one of the earliest ones. Probably from the late 40's. She has a rarer color eyes (green) and a strawberry blonde wig.

It was my great-grandma's doll. Apparently she would dress it up and sit it on her bed as a decoration. My mom said she remembers it when she was a kid.
I've unstrung her for cleaning. At some point her head came off and Great Grandma decided to glue her head back on instead of restringing her!

Soaking off old glue. YUCK!

Fully cleaned and restrung. There was no damage to her neck or head. :)

Hujoo Berry Outfit

My Hujoo Berry in a new jumpsuit I just finished for her. 

I really should give her a name. I keep calling her "Bighead"! :D

Mini Bee Kewpies

Itty bitty bee babies! 

 A couple keychain dolls I bought and ripped off their glued-on clothes. I then made cute bee outfits for them out of scrap fabric and fake fur.

Mig In Black And Yellow

 Mig in a work-in-progress outfit. She looks so much better with a yellow wig! :) I hunted around Etsy and Ebay till I found old Little Miss Revlon patterns. I only had to tweak them a bit to fit her.

Hujoo Girls

 All three of my Hujoo girls. Ruki, Mig, and Pixel. Mig looks a bit out of place in the frilly pink dress! I'll soon make her something black and yellow. :D

 Mig. My Hujoo Lily. She just arrived yesterday. I may redo her faceup.

Ms Pixel is a Hujoo Suve.

Miniatures For My Dolls

 Mini books and cards I made for my dolls. I found the photos in a Google search, then printed them on bristol.  A couple coats of varnish makes them glossy. The books have blank pages.

 Patches I painted for the dolls' Toy Soldier uniforms. Painted on broadcloth with acrylics.

Phineas T. Mudwhipe

My newest bjd. Phineas T. Mudwhipe. He's a Doll Family-H Yehua head on a Clover Doll body. I made his clothes. 

Eventually I want to make all three of my dolls a black and yellow outfit. Just because. :)

All three. :)

 Ruki in a frilly new boy outfit from Angell-Studio.

Red, Black, And Gold Dress

I was inspired recently by an antique doll with a dress in these colors. I knew I wanted Ruki to have a similar one!

It's not actually finished yet. I'm waiting on some lace and trim I ordered on Ebay.

The hat was an experiment that turned out amazing except for one thing. It's a bit too small for her. It wasn't that hard to make, so I'm making another today.

The hat is just a couple layers of thin cardboard and textured Ultrasuede glued and sewn together.

The goggles are also suede-like fabric, thin cardboard painted with acrylics, thin plastic from a water bottle, and painted floral wire.

Hujoo Sara

I got an early Christmas present from my daughter this year! It was a Hujoo Sara!

Some of you will remember that I had one before and sold her. (We needed the money badly at the time). It broke my heart. She was my first bjd.  

My daughter told me when I sold Ruki that someday she'd buy me another one. 

I did the faceup myself. I used lots of blue.

In these photos she's just wrapped in a couple fabric scraps. I wont have time to sew doll clothes till all my holiday crocheting is done...

Smiling Heart Dress

One more doll dress finished. I'm taking a break from sewing today to draw something. :)

Two Dresses With My Fabrics

 I just finished two more dresses for 18" dolls. Both of these feature fabrics I designed. :) 

Sewing More Doll Clothes

I was busy today with other things, but I did manage to make her some pajama pants. :)
