Meet Dusty

The two on the right are the new girls

So I purchased two more petites from a seller on ebay several weeks ago. They arrived sometime last week. One of them is a twin of a petite I already have. She has long jet black hair and I just love her so much I had to get one more. Plus they come with these great high white boots as well.

Dusty before and after

This blonde one, I intended for my second AA petite custom. But as I was cutting her hair last night I had this idea for a cute little punk hair cut. I thought, hey if I don't like it, I just keep cutting, pluck it all out and continue with the custom. Well, she just kept getting cuter and cuter and now I like her just as she is. I'm calling her Dusty because she reminds me of Dusty Springfield whose hair and voice I actually happen to love.

Say hello to Chakra Khan, my first AA petite Blythe! I removed her hair, sprayed her and then let her dry overnight. The nest day I added the powdered flocking on her scalp for hair. For some strange reason the paint on her face dried very rough and speckle like. I'm not sure why since the surface of her face was perfectly smooth. I know that there are optimal temperatures when it is best to use spray paint or dry it or not and that it effects the way it dried but I don't remember what they are and I was totally thrown off by this. So now she looks like she has really bad skin. LOL!!! But other than that, it was so easy to do.

Her body dried perfectly without any stickiness and the flocking was super simple. I just applied some craft glues evenly along her scalp, starting with edges first and and then filling it in. After that shook the flocking powder color I chose on her head over a plastic container to catch the excess and Voila!

I just love this color!! I really wanted to do a deep vibrant red as well but couldn't find that color at Michael's this weekend. So i bought this beautiful blue color along with black. I have another petite donor on the way and plan on doing at least two more so she will have a couple of sisters to play with. Weee!!!

YAAAAY FOR PETITE GEAR!!!!

I've gone and done it!, a photo by obsessivelystitching - StitchWhipped on Flickr.

Obsessivley Stitching (and believe me, this lady is true to her flickr handle!) is one of my fave pette Blythe dress makers thus far! The only reason I haven't put her on blast until now is because while is prolifically turning out dresses, she has not actually put any up for sale until recently. I have to tell you that for me this is like torture. I want like every other thing that she makes literally!! You can tell she really loves to sew for them and that feeling totally transfers over in her photos.

Today she posted that she now has these sweet itty bitty dresses up in her e-shop and even though I have no business buying a thing (after using my paycheck to pay all my bills today I am sadly nearly broke already!) I had to get that yellow dress with the tiny cars!!! OH! I just love tiny clothes! And she is sooooo good at this! If you like petite Blythes you should definitely check her shop out! : D

Goodies on The Way!

Oh I live for goodies on the way! I really do. I recently received two adorable handmade dresses for my Petite Blythe from pungsnoted. I'm actually starting to find a lot of really cute petite Blythe clothes on Etsy via flickr and I'm super excited to find sellers who make wonderful clothing on a such a tiny scale.

Then there's another HOP dress I commissioned from Julie recently when I saw this amazing line of dresses she turned out using this gorgeous harlequin diamond patterns. Needless to say I squealed my butt off when she posted it for me.

The brown felted hat is on it's way is from elifins who I discovered through Melly Kay. I just adore it. And ahem, I commissioned another. Just one more! It's the green on the bottom and it was purchased before I could get to it. I won't try to make anymore resolutions towards self control. Apparently, I have none.

: )

I'm Baaaack! And Yazhi is here!

ADAD (A Doll a Day) ABROAD

So not only am I back from Montreal and Philly, but Yazhi my first Petite Blythe "Running Deer" just arrived yesterday! It took nearly a month but she finally made it. She came all the way from Singapore like Ramona Rae which explains the long journey. I was out of town for a while and didn't have time to stress over it but being back in the office yesterday, I started to worry a tiny bit that she still hadn't gotten in.

As you can see she is a teeny little thing full of sweetness and charm and movement. Her eyes close when she lies down and open when she's standing. It's quite a fine mechanism for a doll so little. Her eyes themselves are actually quite amazing, very clear brown and shiny like glass.I can't wait to find teeny clothes that will fit her!

I also ordered just a tiny bit more mohair so that I could finish Angora Lee's re-root for good and just get that over with. Of course now, I have to figure out what I'm gonna do about her body again, as always.

I've also begun to hear more about this Krylon Fusion plastic spray paint that people have been using for Black Blythe Customs. I looked them up on Ebay and they have at least 5 different shades of brown, which is like three more than SEM has. A few of them are really nice and I'm pretty excited to try one or two but not sure when I will have the dough to invest for a bit. We'll see.
