First re-root in 6 months

nobody@vox.com(wickeddoll) — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 18:03:07 -0400

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.

Blythe hot water head opening method

nobody@vox.com(wickeddoll) — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 14:51:08 -0400

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)

Soak
wiggle wiggle wiggle
soak
wiggle pry wiggle pry wiggle pry
soak
wiggle pry wiggle pry
run a bread knife round the seam
wiggle pry wiggle pry
soak
wiggle pry wiggle pry
run a bread knife round the seam
PRY PRY PRY
see the face plate coming away
PRY PRY PRY
pray your not actually breaking the doll
PRY PRY PRY
POP!
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.

After years of wearing wigs...

nobody@vox.com(wickeddoll) — Mon, 14 May 2007 17:04:01 -0400

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.

frankie finally has her own hair!
