IT LIVES

Hey Guys, I just want to check in to say that I'm not dead. I plan to resume posting in a few months, (June or July) when I've finished school and will have time to devote to dolls and doll crafts. I have a few posts in the works, so there maybe stuff before then, but I don't want to make any promises that I won't be able to keep.

Doll Room Progress

I was looking at doll room tours on YouTube and I got inspired to work on mine.  I currently have two that I'm working on, Frankie Stein's bedroom (Not pictured, not on campus) and Bloom's bedroom.  I have Bloom's with me on campus.

I added the Daenerys Targaryen poster and the vanity.  I don't think I'm going to leave the vanity in there, but it makes the room look less empty.  The Alfea picture is going to be a window, and I'm going to add curtains eventually.  I haven't found fabric I like for the room yet.  Oh, and there's also a candle made from a glue stick.

I put in some shelves too.  I made more shelves, but I don't think I'm going to end up adding them.

So my future plans for this room is to add some kind of curtains, flooring, more posters (Sailor Moon), more furniture (bed for sure), etc.

Some Works In Progress...

Doll Pauldrons Test

So here are the pictures of the pauldrons.  I need to get some ribbon or string so I can attach these to my doll.  Other than that, they're done.

Winx Doll Dress
I've heard about using tape to draft patterns and I decided to give it a try.  I used a paper towel to protect the doll from the tape, but it made that pattern a lot bulkier than I was looking for.  I redid it by laying the tape sticky side away from the doll and then going over it with more tape, so the sticky sides were touching.  I did have a little stickiness when I did it like that, but since I used painter's tape, it came off without a problem.
