oh man... or maybe just a more traditional mermaid? lookit this inspo pics. maybe i can do the sweets theme still but more... hm..... some of these give me betta feelings? what do you guys think Spoiler: big pics
ive been thinking on colors for peri and pearl and i think maybe something like this,...? a cone body and focus on shades of the two colors of hair split between them (pardon for quick doodle i was being messy doodly)
i love it! if you can figure out a non-perishable way to replicate the look i have seen rainbow sprinkle dipped ice cream cones before and i feel like that's an adorable way to add a slight bit of texture/interest to tie the cone and colorful hair together better maybe? plus rainbow scales leading into a tan body... could happen on a fish
after consideration I've been doodling adding a chocolate dip top edge to the face and the top of the bust, where i could put colorful sprinkles. :o and i plan to put sprinkles on their cheeks and shoulders and chest, too.
I’m only doing slight modifications on my mh dolls. Mostly because if I start repainting them I will have to repaint them all xD I’m more enhancing them than modding em for the most part :p My biggest project is Gil. Helmet hair is Incorrect so I am fixing it xD It is a very slow process though cuz he has no hair holes :c Spoiler: Gil Progress And I did a bit of a paint touch up on the p&p. I haven’t recoated them yet though cuz my brain just keeps noping out on it :/ Spoiler: P&p
oh right, doll hair supplier located! everyone knows retrodoll and dollyhair and the doll planet, but i found an australian based shop with HELLA pretty colors and fair prices. take a look :D
Also, the glue leak is terrible. I have given my girls so many chemical baths trying to fix their hair @-@ stained a few of em, had to give em special sun bleaching treatment. The smells were terrible. Spoiler: Hanging girl to dry(doll nudes) Done a little bit of clothing modding. Gil is getting a whole outfit, but I’ve only made the pants so far. I am spacing on girl’s name honey something I thing? First clothing mod. Want to fix it some day, but I like it better than her original dress. Spoiler: Clothes Spoiler: Original dress
Huh. Been using restoredoll myself. Where I got gil’s hair and also hair for the twin cats. Haven’t gotten started on rehairing them yet xD Spoiler: Hair sample
I use https://www.etsy.com/shop/thedollplanethair for mine usually, im investing in some baby unicorn and aquarius i believe for peri and pearl remake.
When I had money I bought Every doll(okay not every. There were a few that I was simply not interested in). Spent months hounding ebay til I got one of each of my desired ladies(and gents). I even coughed up a fuck ton for the limited genie and vampire couple xD Spoiler: My vast collection(a few not shown cuz they are not ready for being displayed)
TRAGEDY STRUCK I CAN'T FIND MY PASTELS D: only the old creaky shitty ones that.... i really don't wanna use. fuck. i can't blush this doll till next month ;C; I WAS ON A ROLL....

The toy doggie for my baby niece is coming along, mostly sorta! She’s 100% cotton flannel, and is practice for me, and a right-now toy for Sylvie, before I move on to the sturdy-but-can’t-be-laundered-repeatedly poly blend upholstery fabrics I’m going to use for the toy I want to make- the silver bee-pony I dreamed my niece turned into on the night she was born. I have a pic for the fabric for that, too, hold on-
Doggie progress! I’ve gotten to the test-stuffing stage: Her name is Pansy, and she is a Boston terrier. Process elaboration and more pics in Fiber Arts.
