What a beautiful job. Both dolls look just lovely. I agree with Boop... maybe you should work on grandmas, too. [img]smile.gif[/img] I'll send me priority mail.

Starla- It is so easy! You should give it a try. It's really fun to work on your own dollys. Taffy's guide makes it a breeze. [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Thank you Taffy. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
What sort of treatment did you use on Josie's hair to get it so sleek and shiney??
It turned out GORGEUS!

http://www.justmagicdolls.com/articl...estringing.htm < This is Taffy's guide. It is so easy to follow. Taffy has probably saved the AG community hundreds of dollars in dolly restringing.
It is really very easy to do. Give it a shot, and if you get stuck, THEN send her to the hospital or someone for restringing. You have nothing to lose if they need to be restrung anyhow. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Well....
For Josefina's hair, I used one of my favorite methods to get hair sleek and shiny- I boiled it. [img]eek.gif[/img]
lol. (quick smooth dips with the water brought to a boil and then the pan REMOVED from the stove eye BEFORE the hair goes in.) It sounds scary, but it has not failed me yet.
I used to use this method for Tiny Thumbelina dolls from the 1960's who hair seemed hopeless- it always made a HUGE difference in their hair too.
Once it's dry, I added a bit of "Son of a Gun" vinyl protectant to help keep it conditioned and glossy. [img]graemlins/rose.gif[/img]
