Blythe Redo

Fakey Blythe makeover completed last weekend!  Here's a look at her progress so far...

Fresh from the box.

 Green eyeshadow, pepto pink lips, and her hair was awful, weird and greasy feeling...

but I still fell in love right away!

First stage! Lots of work done here. 

Makeup and eyelashes removed, haircut, sanding, carving on eyes and lips.

 Freckles, lipstick, new eyelashes and eyeshadow were added

Wig came in the mail. Cute, but I really wanted to do a reroot....

Rerooted with a soy wool blend, took about a day and a half.

 Purple eyeshadow, lipstick and eyelashes removed. 

Touch up carving and sanding done to lips and eyes.

New, fuller eyelashes added and lips redone with a paler colour and more definition.

This picture does not do justice to the awesomeness of her hair! It is huge!

I think my next project will be her chin...looks a little clefty to me...

Also I think she needs a new body, I snapped her leg off this weekend!

Sushine & Strange Finds

How was your weekend? It was so so hot here..not the good kind of heat though. The gross humid Ontario heat

Despite the heat - I was pretty busy   had an impromptu gathering Friday night where I made my first 2 Gwyneth recipes (will post later this week) Saturday, as per the norm, was spent yard sailing. We headed out of town and stumbled on some really great places and finds - (Although I think the heat was too much for Maya and she was pretty sick the afternoon). 

My best find was probably the original 1972 Kenner Blythe doll I found - and payed $2 for :) She needs some work but Maya is thrilled to have one (she has some mini ones and has wanted Cassie's for some time) We are excited to fix her all up!
 

the pyrex gold mine! Also where I found the Blythe - head off body sitting on a pile of old barbies.

strangest little flea market!
