AMELIAS BRUNETTE BABY "STAR"




STAR










Amelia's new baby girl.










The first look I got at star was like ...whoa....she was very cute but had a bad trip to the beauty parlor and someone had touched up her make-up with texta....thank fully it came of in the bath.



The lashes were way to long and her lips were to full, her skin was in not to bad condition a few dark spots here and there and a little dirt, she does however have a hole in her cheek skin, it will need a little dab of glue to pop it back down. Pilling all over but otherwise not bad. No wrinkles.




Her fringe lucky for me was still down and not all tangled in the rest of her hair, part of her original part was still there at the front, but in the end I had to re-do it all so it was neat.




Full body shot after her bath, clean, couple of dark marks remain of her leg, but otherwise she has come up great, her face is so pale now without the textra make-up.




Above, her hair is re-parted, just need to buy some more pale pink hair ties....for some strange reason I have run out...lol. Her make-up has been re-done in this shot, but my camera has chucked a spaz and isn't working very well with close-ups.



This photo shows her new make-up of better, she is quite the looker. Her lashes are even on both sides now, her lips are thinner and I have given her some pale shadow. I have brushed her skin all over and she now has almost no pilling, her little cheek hole is great when the skin is all fluffy as you can almost not see it.


I am so cute.....but still nudie.....my new outfit has been cut out and will be sewn up soon i hope as i am very cold.....

I am all done now, i have a lovely little pink dress on.

You cannot even tell I have a hole in my face from the pictures.

My dress is made from a flare dress pattern, it is lovely pale pink with multi colored stars burnt out of the fabric, I feel so pretty and I have matching barrettes as well.

All finished 10/7/2007

Another sweet baby girl for Amelia to enjoy.

LUCY Tiawan Brunette, Aqua Eyes.








LUCY




Information to come.......sold going to live with Susan


My Ash Blonde Haircut TAHNEE






TAHNEE


This little girl came from the USA, a bargain doll cost me $24.95 US and that was posted, wasnt sure she would be any good but at the price who could blame me for buying her.....any way after giving her a wash and starting her hair ( I am leaving it with just a centre part) she looks like Tahnee my eldest daughter.....


More Inofrmation to come.

OOAK African American Brandy





BRANDY

Information coming soon

My New OOAK Buttercup

BUTTERCUP
Information to come soon


I don't know what is wrong with my camera, but it is taking lousy photos, this little girl is way cute.

She started life as a bad haircut girl, she was an ashblonde piggy girl at some stage of her life...lol. She has lovely green eyes and pale pink lips. I was going to dress her in green but came across this lovely multi shaded yellow wool and then decided she should be in yellow and the name buttercup really suited.


The wool i used for her hair is so soft and textred with thin & thick bits, in shades of yellow through to a creamy fawn color. Her dress is a lovely checked pattern with a match golden yellow trim, I put it in piggy tails and made her matching white lace barrettes with a round centre of the same checkered yellow fabric.

These photos do not do her justice, my camera is bluring everything. She has lovely fairly smooth skin, with some pilling and no wrinkles, she does have a dark mark on the back of one leg, that will not come out, I have touched up her make-up and I have just realised these photos are her pre make-up touch up ones, so I will add another one shortly.

She is just a lovely simple OOAK doll, that would look great in anyones collection.

VIKI'S DOLL REBECCA



VIKI'S DOLL REBECCA


Lovely little Rebecca arrived today 4/6/2007 for a mini makeover, she is a stunning little American Girl, She is in near mint condition, her skin is perfectly soft, no pilling, her only flaw is a small pin hole in her cheek skin, other than that she is perfect.

(above) with her bed hair, just removed from the box she was posted in. Apon inspection she is a made in China American single top knot red haired girl.


(above) close up of her face, she has lovely perfect aqua eyes, her nose is a bit crooked, pink lips they need a minor touch up, dark lashes again just need a touch up, her brows are lovely again just a little touch up.(above) all done, her hair was a little tricky as it is a bit thin on top, but once combed and carefully placing her top knot you can cover up the bare spots. Her fringe took longer than the part, allways does on top knot girls, fiddly but worth it, she looks so cute.




(above) Make-up touched up, my camera isn't that good for close-ups, I need to save up and get a better one. Lips have been filled in, she has the sweetest smile, lashes are nice and dark, brows are a bit darker too, I decided not to give her any extra eyeshadow I just lightly smudged her lashes a little to fill in, adding shadow would be too dark with her fair skin. Also due to the fact she is so minty and has a good pile to her skin it is also hard to apply the make-up evenly, you can not get it in deep enough and it just brushes away, fiddling with additional shadow would all but wipe out her lashes.


All pretty again for you Viki, thank-you for letting me make her prettier than she allready was, now I want a red top knot girl, but with blue eyes....lol.


Restored 4/6/2007

Above and below is the little overall outfit I made for Viki's doll using fabric supplied by her, it is a lovely aqua, green and lemon striped cotton, with a fine silver thread running through it, T-shirt is a pale yellow/lemon with a very fine silver fleck over it, a lovely combination, suits Rebecca well and would suit any aqua eyed M/C beautifully.

TAHNEES DOLL RUTH GERTRUDE

RUTH GERTRUDE

This is my daughter Tahnee's doll, her name is Ruth Gertrude......(Dad and Mum will appreciate this name....lol)


This little girl wasn't going to be a OOAK however when I undid her hair to wash her I found out she had a haircut at some stage and had a large chunk missing right from the front. Above is her full body shot not long after she arrived, she was a curly piggies girl, bad haircut, fairly clean soft skin, bluey-hazel eyes one has a slight crack in it, whites are nice and scratch free, they are very similar color to Tahnee's. She however un-made up looks so plain, for a while I was calling her plain Jane, she looks like she needs some sun. Very boring, I had no idea she would turn out like she did when finished.

I told Tahnee not long after discovering the haircut that she could have the doll, she had been nagging me for quite sometime for one of her own, and this one had a couple of other faults so I decided she really was only worthy of being a childs toy again.....its sad, she is a reject, yes i give my children reject toys, lol. Tahnee was carefully studing me at work, and After Ruth had a bath and was dry I set about working on her make-up, Tahnee asked if she could help so I let her, I gave her the blue water soluable pencil and she gave Ruth some eyelashes, "cause she doesn't have any mummy" (pictured below, and since washed off...lol)

Below is the finshed doll, unfortunately her hair had to go, even styled the chopped chunk stood out to much, so I made her a wig from a lovely pinky red mohair mix, it is very soft and looks stunning, so much better than in the picture, i even made her lps a bit darker to suit her hair. Tahnee loves her, she worked out really well, I love her.....I wonder if i can change my mind and keep her now......

Given to Tahnee Ella Rawson 30/5/2007, a my child all of her own, now she can stop nagging me for one.....no doubt Hollie will start soon....lol.
