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.  

Late Night Crafting...

Its fantastic.  11 O'clock make some doll pauldrons.

Posts that are mostly written later at night are going to have references to things... sorry.

The doll pauldrons were fairly easy, which I had heard that craft foam armor is.  Still I haven't worked with craft foam since I was a kid, and that was just mostly gluing it to things.  I need some ribbon or string so it'll stay on without me holding it.  I don't have any on campus right now, so it'll have to wait.

Pictures will come later...

Doll Haul

So after my math class today, I took a bus to a local shopping center.  I stopped in Toys R Us and found the Trix and the Winx Vanity on clearance.  

I ended up going crazy and getting all of them, but my luck with the Winx Jakks dolls has been rather poor.  Overall I like the Trix dolls, their clothing is very very similar, but its like that in the show too.  Their shoes are really cool.  

My phone camera decided to act up while I was taking pictures of Darcy, so I'll write about the vanity in another post.  I also went into Michaels to pick up some craft foam to make doll armor, and the results of that should be up soon.

 I went home for the long weekend and brought back some dolls to work on.

So introducing:

Left to Right: 1997 Teen Skipper, 1998? Princess Barbie, and 2000 Sailor Moon

Teen Skipper
I plan on rerooting her hair. If your familiar with this Skipper (she's from 1997), she's missing some hair.  I'm planning on making her into my ESO character, Lotta.  So far, I have her boots started.  You'll see them in a future post.

Middle School Doll Mod Attempt

Princess Barbie (Teresea)My plan for her is to find the dress that came with her, style her hair and make a crown and some jewelery.  The factory paint on her shoes is starting to wear away, so I'd like to repaint those.  I'm trying to think of a name for her and I'm open to suggestions.  I do like the names Lisbet, Marisol, or Korinna.

Sailor Moon
Her biggest issue right now is that her odango shield(?) is falling off and her hair could use some brushing.
