I'll probably take most pics tonight or tomorrow but I do want a couple outdoor shots so those will be Friday or Sat because there aren't classes those days and I don't really want to take my girls out and have them seen by a lot of people around campus.
Great albums everyone!
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks! [img]smile.gif[/img] Yes, I have recolored the majority of my dolls in some way. Back in December I went crazy on them - I love rosy face coloring and felt that many of them were too pale. Some dolls have had their cheeks blushed, some have had their lips touched up, and some have had both. The lip color really shows up in pictures on dolls with plumper lips - Josefina, Marisol, and Kaya's lips usually look very pink and shiny in pictures. The color is more subtle and matte in person, though. I think the camera flash reflects off of their curved lips. On dolls with the classic face mold and thinner lips, the lip color photographs much more true to life. For instance, my old Kirsten and Sam have had their lips and cheeks recolored, but it looks much more subtle in the pictures than Josefina's. On all the dolls, I just used regular human blush on their cheeks, rubbed on gently with a fingertip, and regular human lipstick for their lips, applied with an eyeshadow brush. After a coat of blush or lipstick, I dab off any excess with a tissue and allow the color to settle for a day or two, and then if necessary apply another coat or wash off a coat if it's too much. The color doesn't become permanent right away, so you have a lot of leeway to make changes and get the shade of color you want. But after awhile the color does set into the vinyl and doesn't rub off, so you don't have to worry about it getting on their clothes or smearing.originally posted by FarmhouseGirl:Katie, your dolls and thier dresses are so pretty, did you color more than one doll?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thank you so much. [img]graemlins/rose.gif[/img] My mom made me so many nice things when I was younger, and it was watching her create beautiful clothes and accessories for my dolls that made me want to learn to do it myself. Growing up, I always thought there was nothing in the world that my mom couldn't make herself - and I wanted to be creative and crafty just like her.

I made an album: http://www.imagestation.com/album/pi...?id=2107498088
Its not really Easter-ish...more spring-outdoorsy-ish. I might make an Easter album later on this week.
Guess what I got in the mail today!? My Easter Exchange. My girls (and boys) thought everything was so cute!! Thank you BeanBunny!!
We made an album, I just added it to the end of my Easter Parade. New pictures start on number 25. Enjoy! And watch out for Mable...

Jessica - your updated album is great.
Here is my album. I am afraid I didn't have many of my summer outfits here at school with me, and the pictures are in my dormroom with very poor lighting, so bear with me. Sorry!!!

Vicky - I love your outdoor photos.
Heidi - How do you sew while living in a dorm? Is there a machine or are all your clothes hand stiched?
PS - I love your signature picture with Baby Polly. She looks like a real baby in that pose.

Horsemom - I really enjoyed seeing your girls in their beautiful and unique dresses. You did a beautiful job and their hair, too.
