Lottie's World: Pet Horse

I put Lottie back in her riding outfit. In this photo, I finally included a pet horse for her, but it's actually too small for her so she can't ride on it. Haha. But it looks cute as her companion. I don't have a name for the horse yet.

I think this one is my favourite shot out of the bunch I took because I can see the pathway I made with the tiny stones. I laid each stone on the fake grass one by one!

I had to take photos of the cats. They were curious about the "rock mountain" on the wheelbarrow.

Just a behind the scenes pic. The light on the left is too bright, I actually covered it with a white cloth to soften the light. All the pics except this BTS one have been filtered on Instagram.

I Finally Found Cat Burglar!!!

I finally have a Cat Burglar doll! I got her on sale for P300! Whew, after 2 years of waiting, hahaha.

Her head is a Skipper face mold.

I take it back, her face is not that bad, as I mentioned in my two-year old post: "kinda meh". Her eyebrows are quite high too. She looks a bit evil, which is how she's perceived to be, haha. 

I'm just glad that I finally found her at a price I can afford. Next time, I'll take a photo of her next to my custom Cat Burglar doll. 

DIY Doll Hanging Egg Chair

I finally made a hanging egg chair for my doll!

The seat is just a clear plastic bowl I found at the store. I hand drilled a hole on one side and attached a jump ring and a short chain to it, then I hung it up on...

... a banana holder! The shape of this banana holder is perfect!

Now I have to make a cushion with pits on it to make this chair more comfortable.

Here's a video for making a hanging egg chair using yarn!

I really did want to use a clear plastic bowl and a banana holder though so I didn't follow the instructions (except for attaching chains to the chair). The good thing about that project above is it fits 1:6 dolls.

I also made the pants Lottie is wearing in the photo. The fabric is from an old sewing project that I abandoned years ago.

In other news, I can't find the set of tiny plastic easter eggs that I wanted to buy anymore. They're now out of stock! I shouldn't have hesitated the first time I saw them, ugh. Oh well, I think I can just come up with another idea on how to make doll balloons. I mean, I could totally use regular sized eggs, but Lottie is small. I want something that's more in scale for her size.

The idea about doll balloons came from here, btw:

1977 Farrah Fawcett doll by Mego

I found a Farrah Fawcett doll! At first her left arm was missing, but I rummaged through the bins of the thrift store and found her left arm by luck! Without the arm, I could have bought her for P75, but after finding her arm, her price became P100!

Her right arm was actually in tact when I found her but at home, I pulled it out because her joints have melted.

Dried plastic goo all over the joints, yuck! I had to carve the melted plastic with my crafting knife.

I had a difficult time assembling the pieces together, because without the melted plastic, the joints have become loose. I had to use wire to put them together, and even tied garter on her chest area to keep the arms in place.

I love that her head is in good condition. I would have gotten her even without that left arm. Anyway she's such a big woman, I didn't have any clothes that would fit her very well, neither do I have clothes that fit her aesthetic. So I just dressed her up in these hoping she'd look like the type to stay at home, lounge and smoke a cigarette every now and then, lol.

I have this metal stand that came with a photo frame, but the photo frame is now gone. The end of the stand stops right under her butt, making her stand like this, haha.

Her skin has a reddish tone to it, so I wasn't even sure that I could rebody her easily had I only used her head. Her hair is quite unruly but I didn't want to tame it with a doll comb because I'm afraid she'd lose all these lovely curls in the process. I love the volume it has. And she has rooted eyelashes, yaaaas!

In other news, I finally came around to retouching this Mrs. Hearts doll's lips!

I bought her online. I don't remember how much I paid for her, but I thought I had to get her. Her lip paint was actually chipped, and I have only touched it up today, lol.

She has that Steffie sculpt vibe thing going on, even thought she's not at all a Steffie sculpt but an original Hearts Mom sculpt. Actually some of the Mrs. Heart doll versions have the Steffie sculpt, so that might explain the resemblance?

She has a TNT body, but I have clothes that fit the TNT body, so I didn't really have a hard time finding a dress for her.

Getting Rid of All My Doll Boxes

As the title of this post says, I am getting rid of all my doll boxes. It's been a long time since I've saved them all, but I haven't done any recycling or crafting at all that would make me use these boxes, so I've decided to add them to my growing pile of paper that I can sell at the junk shop. I'm surprised that I no longer feel anything for all these cardboard. I can finally let them all go.

[APRIL 14th:

OMG I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED 

MY VIDEO ON YOUTUBE! SORRY!]

/In the end I saved the Spirit Riding Free box and another acrylic packaging, for making doll eyeglasses. LMAO what am I doing?!

On a different note. I've started hand sewing again! I made three pants for Lottie so far in two days. Why I haven't used my sewing machine, that's another topic, lol.

Aaaaaand before the Easter season ends, I have to get those tiny plastic eggs that I saw at Expressions. They'd make good balloons for Lottie!

Thought I'd Share...

I think it's just normal when you blog and you just caption your blog post with a sucky title, lol. I clearly don't have any idea what to name this post, but okay... hahaha.

On Instagram I found cute.vintage.dolls and she was kind enough to photograph her Tammy (middle) and Sindy dolls (left and right). Oh my, Tammy is such a tall lady, isn't she?I thought they'd be the same height. Thanks cute.vintage.dolls for taking this photo for me!

Wouldn't it be funny to use these stickers for dolls? I could buy these things and stick them on clear acrylic doll packaging, cut them out and make accessories for dolls, haha. I have yet to make eyeglasses for my doll. I have some acetate sheets that I think I can use for this craft.

If you've read my blog before, you'd already know Cattleena (left). I changed her outfit with this dress I found and is too short for Lottie.

Then I had a few spare parts so I played with them. I had a spare Liv doll head, and the body of Nyla from I Love VIP Pets. I put them together, et voila! It's Sophie the dog, hahaha. DO NOT FEED HER!

I found a Raggedy Andy plush doll at the thrift store and he still had his tags. I thought I could resell him, but nah, I'll just keep him because he's in such good condition. I still have to wash him though.

And I found a BFC Ink doll! It's Aleisha (right) and she's supposed to be a twin of another doll named Noelle. They're so pretty! This is the second time I've handled a BFC Ink doll. The first time was when I found Addison at the thrift store but didn't know what the BFC Ink dolls were, so I left her behind. When I came back to the store, I just found her body. Somebody pulled her head off and bought just that, then left her body at the store, ugh. But I got her body and used it for my custom cat burglar doll.
