    Question

    Like, has anyone ever replaced a wig with a different type, put makeup on her, painted her toe/fingernails? Pulled out her lashes and replaced with human hair lashes? Maybe changed her neck string with a colored string. Cut her hair, etc...

    Any stuff like that? Got any pictures?? [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

    I have a Mini-Me that I am working on and so far I have changed her wig, sewn in hi-lights, given her a French pedicure, replaced her neck string, tightened her limbs, and am going to attempt to give her new lashes because the ones she currently has are falling out (she was an E-Bay special). I have been meaning to make an album, but just haven't had a chance to. When she is all done I will.
    Have you made a custom doll?

    I haven't yet but I am currently searching for a fixer upper to use to create a Star Wars character out of. I also am looking for some cool art work from SW pics that I might use to paint her face with. I am not artistically gifted so I would have to send her to someone who can paint/restore dolls for the face part.

    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No [img]redface.gif[/img] I'm not too creative or even good with my hands, I'd be afraid I'd ruin my dolls. But I think it's fun to see pictures of other peoples dolls that have been altered. ^_^

    I can't wait to see your doll when you are done with her, she sounds so cool!

    I customized one, and I am planning another.

    Ophelia was my last one, and she was a Felicity with a black curly wig, black nail polish, and glossy lips. She got eaten by my mother's dog. [img]frown.gif[/img]

    I have a boy doll that is a PM Samantha with a boy hair cut and 99% of the face paint removed

    My new one, well it depends on what abused source dollie I can get. I don't want to recreate Ophelia, because she'd look just like a green eyed Jess. I am leaning toward an AA custom but it will have to see what the eBay gods throw me.

    Check out Cherry (sakurako)'s albums (click here)

    She has many customized dolls, particularly Molly. She recently rewigged AGT 25 and 26 and you will be able to see their pictures when Lindy posts Cherry's Harvest photos.

    Sounds like my secret goal to find one with chopped hair that I can add a padawan braid like mine to!
