I received my first Blythe a couple of days ago. Wow, what they say about ADG's is true...All that glue! It was a real struggle to open her head and get her scalp off. I lost a bit of the flange, so I hope I won't have too much trouble gluing back in ( here the scalp is just placed on the head as I still need to change the pullstring and add sleepy eyes)
I am very happy with the way she looks!
When I ordered her I knew already in my mind what i wanted to do: a short curly bob and areal porcelain doll makeup look. I want her to look like a little Victorian.
I still need a name though. Something old fashioned. Right now I'm thinking Matilda, Esther, Josephine, Esme or Elsie....
What I did:
* Face Sand-matting
* Carved lips and nose
* New chalk makeup
* Painted bottom lashes
* Glossy lips
* Four new Coolcat eyechips, two custom by me.
* Hair cut
* New extra long eyelashes
* Boggled eyelids
* Superior Gaze correction
* Handmade dress
More pictures soon!
