~ New Pants ~

-------------------

A couple of months ago I was trying to make a new pants for my boyfriend's Action Man but they didn't look really cool...
Today I improve a new pattern and... TADÁ!





They look better but... are a little bit small in the back and so straight. I remade the pattern and, if possible, tomorrow I'll try again :D

~ Reroot wefted PBP ~

--------------------------


Wow! Yesterday I was taking a look at this tutorial in We Love Blythe Brasil and today I decided try to do it with a scalp and 3 wefted bags of hair (all from Coolcat) I'd buy two years ago for give a new look to Sorami (she's based on my young sister and my sister's hair is curly and brown, not red as the doll I used has base (FrFr)).
My fingers hurts a lot but... it looks really great!

If you wanna try to do it you need:
Tools

 Wefted Hair (and a scalp)
 
And of course lots of patience!!!!






Here two pics with my progress till now:

~ Picco Neemo bodies ~

-------------------------------

I'm so excited, the new bodies I bought a couple of weeks ago are just arrived! Now I need to decide which one I'll use for my Carola Escarola.

Here some pics I took before take them out of the box:


Comparision with original body of Carola Escarola:


I'm really impressed with D body, it can stand up! But I'm not really sure if with Carola's head it'll stand up too :S


Here another comparission pic, now fitting faceplate:


Now I need decide:

Custom process ~ Restarting

After more than a year I restart customicing a really special doll and I decide reupdate all the photos of the process.


Here the doll as she arrives on 2011

She arrived in very bad conditions and this makes me think about a better future for her.

I restored a little bit her mouth on 2011

I uploaded some pics in Flickr of the make-up I made her in 2011 and how I unmake-up her because I hate how she looks.

The first make-up I done in 2011
 Custom (Front)

Detail of her eyes in 2011

Details of her during the unmake-up
 Unmake-up process

It was hard but, little by little the make-up was removed
Unmake-up process

And I repainted her eyemech
Custom eyelid detail

Since then I tried to repaint her face with Montana (in Summer) because the green of her mouth (was rebuilded with green epoxi!!!! O__O), but it didn't give me a really good result and I sanded her face again and put her in a drawer. But, some days ago arrives Carola Escarola at home and I restarted my custom works. And her was not an exception. I was recarving her mouth, taking out some excess.

Now her mouth looks a little bit better

Here a detail of how her mouth looks now
I know it's complicated find the diference because I didn't take photos of her mouth in this position when she cames home. But, now the sides beside the mouth are soft, before they sides were like a precipice didn't looks natural.
BTW I hope I could give her a better life, because she'll be a special gift for someone really special.

I hope I could upload soon new pics of her!
