My last girl of 2017 is here!!! She's actually been waiting for her turn to shine since November, but we were waiting for the rest of her eye chips, so she's happy to be awake and ready to fly back home to New York.
Her base doll is a Simple Bubble Boom FBL, she has 1 pair of handpainted eye chips by me and 3 pairs of Puppelina eye chips. Her mom mentioned her favorite pattern is gray background with white polka dots, so I decided to add a little accent heart to match her hair as well.
She was made with lots of love so I hope you love her, and I hope she brings her momma lots of joy!
Custom fender installation from a article by Peter Weigle in Bicycle Quarterly, Vol. 9 No.2 Winter 2010.
I have used this article several times in fender installation. It is a ton of work, but makes the fenders so much stiffer and stronger.
I really think that Takara produced this doll with customization in mind. She's easy to open and It's almost like they made her so plain that you HAVE to do something with her!
Getting her open was a breeze. Once disassembled, I soaked her eyes and put lighter lashes in. Boggled but didn't touch the new type of T-Bar. (Will post photo of it later)
Of all the things that I had trouble with was her eyechips! I tried everything, laughed and then got glum when I realized that I will probably have to resort to the dreaded drill. That chore made me abandon the chip removal for now.
I had an extra licca body that was a little dark and a little tight in the neck. It probably could use a some whittling but it did fit.
She ain't no BL but I could see her heritage and tried to go with it. A slight pastel face-up and a gentle re-do on the lips. No gloss yet. I think the lashes were what made the biggest improvement. It really lightened her up and if you look closely I think you can see a smile on her face...
I know she's not for everyone but, for me, she's a keeper....
Thanks ladies and gentlemen for all the input! It's been fun! ;-D
Custom lights. Made of jewelry magnetic locks, 12V band of LEDs and other stuff. The only harm to Lego bricks : 2 small holes in buffer frame plus a bit of 10secs glue to connect magnets to magnet coupler.
A rather strange casting which at first glance seems to be a flight of fancy by the Matchbox Team. Its supposedly based on a 1935 Ford Sedan Custom that is known as one of the earliest custom hot rods. The real car was commissioned by Leonard K DeBell, owner of the So Calif Plating Co. who had bought a brand new Ford phaeton. His plan was to use it as a very classy delivery truck but to be able to do that the car had to be lengthened by 12 inches to be able to carry freshly chromed bumpers which his company specialised in.
This Matchbox casting isn't supposed to be an exact replica of this car, merely inspired by it. Either way its typical left field Matchbox and works really well in Moving Parts guise.
Mint and boxed.

This girl right here is very special, she is the result of your guys' support towards me during this fun customizing journey. Last June I ran a custom-service giveaway where close to 500 people entered, (thank you all who did!) it was very exciting but for now there could only be one winner, well this girl's mom was the lucky one! She was prompt to ship her Playful Raindrops to me and I was finally able to get my hands on her, so she is awake and ready to travel back to Finland! I hope you love her as much as I do and stay tuned for more giveaways in the future!
Thank you all again for your continued support, you guys are the best!
My third custom Monster High Doll.
You can pick her up here: www.etsy.com/listing/81173992/ooak-monster-high-custom-cl...
She comes with all her accessories except for the choker. It had to be removed during the custom process but has been replaced with a black ribbon.
There ought to be a Monster High doll that has ridiculously long hair like this by default...

My custom #55 has been awake and waiting for her photo session for what it feels an eternity!!! Things have been crazy busy around here but I was finally able to get to her. This girl is very special and I'm very excited to finally show her off. As many of you know I am a BIG Beatles fan, but I am also a HUGE Tolé Tolé Dolls fan! I have been since I very first started Blything; so when Raquel and I discussed a trade about a year ago, I was beyond ecstatic! Even more so when Raquel requested a Beatles' themed girl. I knew I'd have a blast working on her! The base doll is Marrakech Melange and her mom decided to name her Jude. She will be traveling back to Spain soon. I hope you all love her as much as I loved creating her! <3
A friend of mine restores classic cars for a hobby/side-job and asked me to come over and shoot one of his cars. This is actually the '65 Mustang that he built for his mother. This classic started out as a coupe, but he changed it to a convertible. He also customized the front end and back end. The engine is also not original. He replaced it with a 302 from a late 80's Mustang. The car is really beautiful. He does nice work.
This was my first attempt at shooting a car and it definitely presented some challenges. I used my two speedlights to light it and ended up compositing several shots in Photoshop to get the right lighting and look I wanted. I was shooting the speedlights at full power and sometimes 1/2 power since I had the aperture tighted up to f10. Could have really used some Alien Bees or something here. Anyway, I think I did a pretty good job and the end result is pretty cool. I showed this final shot to my friend and he was really happy with it, which is what really matters here.

My custom #40 was especially requested to have Disney Florida's orange bird as her theme. Her mom, Samantha Eckert is a Disney fan so this girl is looking forward to many trips there!
She is a Simply Bubble Boom FBL mold Blythe which I fell in love with! Her pull charms were especially designed and sent by Samantha's dear friend Karin Bergmann.
She got the usual work plus a haircut! she still needs one more pair of eye chips that she'll get tomorrow then she'll be ready to travel to Indiana! Hope you love her, more pics to come! <3
