des tricoteuses et dentellières s'en sont donné à coeur joie pour réaliser ces customisations (exposées,à l'écomusée de Mulhouse)
(btw, here is my etsy commission listing! I needs money, please commission me! 8D)
This is my very first Manster repaint! I come from a BJD painting background and I collect only boy dolls, and boys dollies are generally less exciting than girls. Y'all are saying NO WAY MAN, but IME, which is a good long fucking while and thousands of dollars, I say YAH WAY MAN. Anyway, this was actually something I would consider too easy lol. BOY EYES AND LIPS? Slap em on, done. So I decided to jazz him up and make him a werewolf, but a proper wereWOLF. Not a werepuppy, like Clawd is lolsss.
This is a Clawd from the Clawd+Draculaura set. I chopped off his ears (which left gaping holes in his scalp, so I filled them with Green Stuff) and wiped the flocking from his face (came off easy with acetone) and then re-flocked his head with some silver flocking I made by cutting up some silver hair 8D He's missing his ears, but they'll come when I have the money.
I took the colouring from actual wolves rather than just using brown like Mattel seems to do, and gave him some scars, because he's not exactly the quietest guy.
I'm listening to PopAsia and so I might have to get started on that SweetHeart PV. They just don't have too much of a wardrobe, so I'm waiting on clothes. Sorry guys, I hopt to get started ASAP!
Hehehehehehehehehe ^.^
As you can see, I am busy doing all the important things in my new life at the moment, like setting up a bank account!
I fear this bank card will remind me to keep on buying Blythes!!!!

Some more custom printed heads from FireStar Toys as well as two customised helmets done by me. The lighting makes the red on the right helmet look a little messy, BUT LOOK AT THOSE MUSTACHES!
On one of those occasions I had to make an emergency pit stop at Abington services when leaving Scotland with a less then fit bus...(can't remember whether it was the Dodge which lost it's battery, the Dodge which suffered total brake failure or the seizing Iveco), but along side me drew this impressive beast. Being a 'bus' man, but with a passing interest in British built lorries, I knew it had to be photographed. How much of this Cummins powered Atkinson Borderer was as it left the Preston factory, I don't know, but to me, the sleeper cab, raised roof and tag axle might be later additions(?) I gather from subsequent conversation that the firm 'J Huddleston' were something of a haulage legend amongst enthusiasts.
Many thanks for everything. I will like to share that Dorayaki as a budding customiser, he is doing his best to apply basic customisation techniques on these LEGO Friends mini-dolls designs by converting them into customised LEGO Friends customised minifigures scale. Earlier ago, I have kindly extend a wish that I could like to have these designs. My intention was to have such unique customised minifigures to present as a gift to a very close friend of mine, whom is very fond of LEGO Friends. I felt this could be the perfect special gift. Dorayaki has kindly agreed to this commissioned project and after a few months, the long wait is over! I have finally received these LEGO Friends customised minifigures design in minifigure scale. I am delighted even though he could be working hard on applying paint job. Nonetheless, I am pleased with it.
You may find more information on his project in this topic discussion: www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=86920

Léontine started life as a "Velvet Minuet" before being customised by Minklet ... She was called Rhys back then and had quite a following ...
And I must thank Heidi (Heidi @ Blythe Fifth Avenue ) for these parts of Léontine's back story.
From Minklet, Rhys eventually went to live with Alisa ... then there is part of her history missing from Dec 2012 to early 2014 when I bought her through Blythe Kingdom.
From the photos she did look a bit 'baity' (by then her hair was no longer gorgeously wild - it was just really messy) and my intention was to give her a purple mohair re-root, purple colouring etc. But this little girl had too much personality and we bonded!
So I plucked up my courage, picked up a comb and very slowly I worked through the mess and dreadlocks that was her hair. We had minimal loss of hair and it went rather bouffant ... (reminds me of a young Princess Anne). Suddenly she was no longer a tom-boy - she was really lady-like ... so I darkened her lippy and added a little eye-shadow ...
But, she still had no name (at this stage I had no idea of her previous life as Rhys) but with that mane of hair I was thinking of the feminine variants of Leo ...
Now, apologies for the length of this intro - all my Neo girls have back-stories and they are grown-ups with careers ... ... Léontine's back-story is one of the 'fullest'.
Here I must jump a bit sideways - because Léontine is named for a real lady who was important in her time & place but is little known of now.
Léontine Arman de Caillavet had a 'salon' in Paris at the end of the 19thC. Very Belle Epoque! and all manner of famous, artistic & literary (but not musical) people met there ... including Proust and Anatole France ... there is a short wikipedia article about her.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Léontine_Lippmann
The real Léontine Arman de Caillavet became muse, mistress, promoter and editor to Anatole France. It was through his novel The Red Lily (Le Lys Rouge) that I found out about all this ... The Red Lily is quite autobiographical (the heroine is obviously Léontine) it is a romance novel very much of its time (1893/4) but rather charming. Some have argued that Léontine did more than merely edit Anatole's words and having read The Red Lily (but only in translation) I can well believe this - I suspect that she actually wrote a lot of it.
Now about 11yrs ago I was doing my Major Work for the costume course ... I pretended that I was making costumes for a high budget movie based on The Red Lily ... I adore the fashion of the Belle Epoque and I wanted to dress a mature woman and ... that novel had stuck in my head somehow (I first read it in 1980). It was then that I researched (I like researching things!) and found out about this fascinating woman. ...
But back to this Blythe doll who was no longer a tom-boy
and tying all those odd tales together ...
Léontine was the obvious choice of name for her and so Léontine Arman de Caillavet she became.
Now all my Neo dolls have 'careers' and obviously Léontine has to be an author. Her 2nd novel is currently at the publishers and after helping me to host this month's BaD, Léontine will be going on a publicity tour of writers' festivals and interviews to publicise the new book.
A 1930 Ford Model A Coupe Customised Hot Rod, powered by a 1950s De Soto (Chrysler) ‘Firedome’ V8. Registration: “BF 6917”, imported to the UK in 2014. I decided to include both photos of the front and rear of this car, as this Ford was one of my most favourite cars of the event. This is a superb Hot Rod which is representative of a true “of-the-period” custom and reflects what these cars would’ve typically looked like in the 1950s through early ‘60s. This example is not ‘Billet’, nor is it a trailer queen, not overly polished, no blindingly bright paintwork, no cliché flame graphics, no crazy expensive gizmos, no too-fancy wheels, and on the other hand - not a slammed, fake patina’d, cobbled-together Rat Rod, either. A few of the guys at the show agreed on the exact same thing - “not too flash, not so rat”. This ‘rod is just about perfect!”. Seen at the annual ‘Race The Waves’ hot rod racing event opening/registration/scrutineering pre-race gathering on Church Green, Old Town, Bridlington, Yorkshire, UK, 13/06/25.
