Doll Impulsions (Part 7)

Here's another batch of screen shots I took from last month, which I forgot to post, haha.

Isn't it a cute way to hang doll clothes? I like that green hoodie, by the way.

This are vintage Rebook trainers! They look horrible, like they're about to fall apart, hahah. Modern Ken shoes look so much better now.

I have a small collection of Rody horses, so when I saw these photos, my collector sense is kicking in. MUST. RESIST.

Meygana from Bratzillaz! That's already cheap! But guess what, I already have a basic Meygana doll (no inset eyes and her body is not as articulated), and I'm really trying to cut down my purchases. So I didn't get Meygana.

I didn't get Lola from Hannah Montana either. I would like to get her though because her short pink bob is pretty cool, but I can still deal.

Her face has the same mold as Mitchie from Camp Rock, eh?

Taking It Slow

Lately I feel demotivated to do dolly stuff. I'm still looking for inspiration to continue my Lottie project and other stuff that have been pushed aside, but I'm not losing hope. It's only been less than two weeks since I did something blog-worthy. I mean, I took pictures of Lottie in between, but I wasn't feeling the outcome.

Meanwhile I found some nice items, including three more miniature Rody horses (black, blue and red). Now I have four of them.

Not the best photos, I know. I'm just too lazy to get my phone and take photos, so I used my webcam again. The backdrop is just a gift wrap with chocolate candies as design. They look like M&Ms or Smarties, heh.

The red horse's body is smaller than the blue one's. However when you place them side by side, they appear to be of the same height. That's because of the red horse's oversized head.

I actually could get more from my source, but I stopped at three. Maybe next time.

And this is a vintage Licca keychain, that could be dressed up because the outfit is actually removable. The head piece isn't, though. Licca looks a little snobbish here, doesn't she? Now I have my regular sized Licca dolls, this Licca keychains and my smaller ones, which are shown here.

Lately I'm thinking of making some videos for the blog, but I'm still not convinced that I should do it. Time will tell...

P.S. Last month I found out that one of the sellers I made transactions with already died, and I was like, oh s**t. Excuse the cursing, but that was my reaction. I bought these dolls from him, and he also bought a brand new doll from me. Rest in peace, sister.

Miniature Rody Horse

I found a miniature Rody horse and thought it would be a great toy for Lottie!

It's quite small for Lottie, but I don't mind.

It's squishy but firm. It's a cool alternative for a stress ball! I even brought it with me while I did my errands one time:

At a reception area.

At a hospital.

In the car.

If I find another miniature Rody horse, I might not be able to resist buying it and starting a collection. It's so adorable!

Thrift Store Finds and C.A. Cupid's New Hands

So I went back to two thrift stores a week ago and found these stuff:

Headless Headmistress Bloodgood, Elissabat, C.A. Cupid, and a miniature Rody Horse!

Cupid was missing her hands and had paint all over her body, and on her left cheek, but it's good that she cleaned up a bit well. There's a trace of the paint on her cheek but I'm not that bothered. Elissabat is missing her arms, as the usual case is with the Monster High dolls I find at thrift store.

I'm thrilled about the headmistress because she's on a big sister body sculpt and she's my first! And her head really does come off. I decided to turn her into a flight stewardess. I actually prefer this outfit on her than on Licca. Her hat came from a teddy bear, by the way. It fits her because her name is Bloodgood and the hat has the letter B on it.

The length of the skirt shows off her legs. I love it.

I dressed up Cupid in a pink outfit, of course.

Halter top: Takara, secured around the waist with a Loomband

Skirt: Barbie?

Shoes: CDR-King shoe charms

Then I thought of fixing her further and gave her new hands, yay! The hands came from a plastic stirrer, and I used wire to attach them to her wrists. They are still removable and can rotate (but not bend), so that's already fine. I'm glad she's already complete!

I like that the Takara top has a pearl heart detail on it. It's a nice touch for Cupid!

Don't they look like gloves? I also gave Cupid a top hat. It's actually Maddie's old top hat.

Speaking of thrift store find, I found another Ghoulia. My second one:

It's from the Scaris: City of Frights line. I cleaned her up already and tied her hair into a ponytail. She's still nude in my toy box because I haven't found a way to complete her, haha. I love her dark red lips and blue eyeshadow. She looks like a movie star because of her makeup!

I'll talk about the miniature Rody horse next time. It's a fun toy for Lottie, and for me when I need to fidget!
