Schools almost done, the carpenter ants have been BOMBED ( they were living in my wall!!! ICK!!)  still have many paintings waiting to be finished but I decided to give the old carpal tunnel syndrome another whack ;) and do a re-root I've been meaning to finished for 6 months a go. Not much done yet , but at least I can sit by the pool to do it.

She's up if anyone is interested.:) I reduced her BIN to 225 from 250. She really is a lovely doll and I am sad to sell her she's become such a part of the family.

I'm still working on my next custom girl and trying not to become attached!!! eek

hmmm...still smudgier than I like, but OK for the most part

the custom eyechips for my new girl, she has:
 1.red painted stock pink chips
2.glow in the dark brain worm chips
3.stock pink chips with a hand painted skull in one pupil ( took forever to do it that small)
4.clear pink foiled pupa paradise chips

I think I want to swap out the eyelashes, they're not doing anything for me.

well yesterday my FTS came, she has no scalp but thats fine because she is for a custom job. SO I didn't want to saw the head, ...I read up on the hot water method at TIB and heres how it goes:
Remove screws from back, put them in a sandwich bag for safe keeping
Undo spring from the square hole in the back with small crochet hook
Open neck hole enough to remove the body...I personally had to soak her head a tiny bit before I cold get it open wide enough, but sometimes they will fall out pretty easy.

HOT water ( just tap water not boiling water)

yeah!
 Also you can pull out from the back plate don't worry about trying to pull down from the scalp if that make sense to you. surprisingly her eyelashes stayed just fine..not sure that I want to keep them, but at least I have the option.
(Oh look you can see our fibre in the background of these..well at least you know we're "healthy".)

Then it was on to removing the eye mechanism and boggling! these dolls can take an amazing amount of force considering how delicately we play with them.

frankie has new juicy lips, this took 3 tries, they are OK but I still think I can do better

After years of wearing wigs Frankie finally has her own hair. I got a ginger scalp that had the flange completely cut off, it's held on her head with white glue & double sided carpet tape. Everything with this doll is revisable at this point. It took me forever to figure out how to get the scalp to stay on without any flange, but because Frankie has been Frankensteined out of bit’s and pieces of broken dolls she has no front to her dome. I was then able to use the carpet tape to hold the front in place while using the white glue to hold the rest of the scalp in place.  I used the puchi collective tutorial to cut her bangs, they still need to be trimmed a bit straighter but it looks good to me, next I need to do her lips.

Ok I have openings for 2 mohair lock and loop customs if anyone is looking for one.:)

I have been working on custom Blythes for over a year now, mostly for myself, and would like to offer my services for anyone who needs themJ.

Because I am new at offering my services as a customizer, I am offering to do a mohair lock and loop re-root for the discounted price of 75$ + the cost of hair. This will be a limited time offer for a re-root at this price.

 I can also offer other services such as

• Sand matting
• Chalk make up
•  Natural lips in pencil sealed in acrylic or acrylic painted lips
• Eyelash replacement
• Eye chip replacement
• Wefted saran or mohair ( only 40-50$ + the cost of weft.)
