Week 28- Dynamite!

This past week I decided to do a few small improvements on one of my dolls so I could take her to a local doll meet, perfect for this weeks blog!

This is Dyvonne, my Dollfie Dream Dynamite:

You can slightly tell in this photo that she has eyelashes in that are falling down into her eyes, and glue residue is showing. This was all done by the previous owner. So the first thing that I wanted to do was remove the eyelashes and redo the placement of her eyes, you'll see why in the next few photos.

In this photo you can see the gap at the top of the eyes, they are not flush to the head...

...and this is why. The gobs of glue on the inside are preventing the eyes from setting right in her head. So I took on the task of removing all the glue and set her eyes back in place with silicone ear plugs.

The after photo of her with the eyes set in correctly, a great improvement her eyes look brighter and gives her a more clean open look. Now on to making her an appropriate outfit for a doll meet at the park.

Tada..a simple casual look. Tan corduroy shorts and a strapless shirt with a decorative trim belt. I just tried on this other wig to see how I like it, its ok but I think I like the longer one better. 

And lastly a few photos of her at the doll meet: 

Dyvonne with the other 2 dolls that I decided to take with me, you probably recognize the other two from previous blog entries. Lil Stix up in in the tree, and Amaryllis standing next to her. 

And thats it for week 27, not a labor intensive production, but it was fun to finally make a cute little outfit for Dyvonne. Oh wait one last photo to end this weeks blog..

Week 27 A new look for Keiyoko

Keiyoko is my mini me doll as I may have mentioned before, she is a Resinsoul Xue. Since Keiyoko is kinda supose to follow my own chameleon like styles she likes to dress up in different style clothing and is a big fan of wigs. So in order to catch up a week missing over the weekend I made her  a lovely infinity dress and she promptly stole Umi's wig (my doll chateau Colin). I also made another outfit that one of my other girls is currently wearing I'll upload that photo soon.

So here is her current look which may change with a simple whim:

This girl is hoping to someday have as many clothes and wigs as I do...lol...we shall see how that goes, though there are a few wigs I've been eyeing for her. Short blog but I really wanted to get back on track and like I said I'll update this blog with a new photo of the other outfit I made over the weekend. Have a great dolly day!

Week 26 Doll Room

As some or many may know I have quite a few dolls, so was needing a space to put them all so that they were out of the way but yet decoratively displayed. My boyfriends solution: Make the office into a doll room, well of course I wasn't going to argue that one...lol. So this past weekend we worked on said project and these are the results.

Before:

 Here is the way all the dolls were crammed together when I first placed them all in the office space many many months ago. Before that they were living in my spare room/closet room on top of my dresser and everywhere else that had a space for them.

And more dolls on the floor and the mess of boxes, etc scattered about the room that is taking up space.

This is the soon to be doll bookcase, books, books and more books. Should have taken a better photo when I cleared out all the boxes out of the room, but you get the point lots and lots of stuff..lol.

After:

Tada!! What we did or I should say what my boyfriend did for me was we took a few shelves out and moved them around so that there was more open space for the dolls to stand or sit. I decided to leave the action figures up on top of the bookcase. This may not be the final location that all of them will remain in but for now this is how I arranged them...

Next we got rid of the small bookcase that was on the side wall and he built a new one to be the same height as the other and again open space to place the dolls. More fun action figures on top. 

Shelf by Shelf:

A closer look at the dolls,   more photos can be seen on my Facebook page Here .

Right Side

There is a bit of a space under this last shelf where the vent in the room is at the moment a 1/6 motorcyle is there but I may just store some other BJD related items there, we shall see. 

New Bookcase:

And there you have it a definite WIP (work in progress) as I still have the rest of the room to straighten up so I may post another blog with updated photos. I have other dolls such as Bratz, Barbies and Monster High that are in random other spots in this room and my closet room. And as I said for more detailed photos just go to my FB page and read all about the dolls that are in each shelf. :o)

Oh wait speaking of my closet room I forgot one of my precious dolls:

She is sharing a shelf with some other random items that I have in the same room as all my monster high dolls in fact. And that ends the weekly blog hope maybe this will inspire others to be creative and find a special place for your dolls. Until next week take care.
