Pullip Reviews Update

For those who may be curious, I do plan on continuing doing doll reviews! I know I have not posted one in quite some time, and I'm so sorry about that! I've just been really busy with so many things lately, and haven't had the time to write them up, even though I have so many dolls to write about! I ask that you please just be patient with me. I promise that I will start posting reviews again and will try to do them more regularly! Thank you all so much for understanding!

Handmade Doll Props

Ever since I had become a part of the doll hobby, I've been wanting to craft some of my own little props for my dolls. Once New Years had rolled around, I made it one of my dolly New Years resolutions to take action and actually do it! For now, I'm sticking with making food items out of both paper and air dry clay, and shading my pieces with pastels and coloring them with  acrylic paint, but I do plan to start working with polymer clay and resin soon! I'm really excited to see how many different materials I can use and seeing what else I can create!

Here are some of the things I have made so far:

Cupcake

From left to right: pink macaron, maple bar doughnut, chocolate doughnut, fried egg, bear shaped doughnut, pepperoni pizza, and cheese burger

These three little cookies are some of my favorite pieces! Each of them is about a third of an inch!

Plate of spaghetti

Hot dog

Cinnamon roll

Ice cream with whipped cream and cherry on top! <3

Presenting Amethyst, My Very Own Make It Own Pullip!

I've completed my very first Make It Own Pullip doll a few months ago, and I can't believe I forgot to post about it here! I have named her Amethyst, and before I had started working on her, I had already decided that my first custom doll would be a cute pastel goth girl! I wanted her to have a sweet look, but with some edginess mixed in. She actually turned out just how I had envisioned her, so I'm really happy! She's my pride and joy!

Here's a shot of her right after I had finished working on her faceup. I actually have made her eye shadow a darker purple since then, and added more pink to the inner corners of her eyes, but the shape of the eyebrows and the color of the blush and her lips are the same. :3

I chose to do some really bold eyemakeup on her to emphasize her eyes, and made her cheeks and lips a soft pink to add some balance.

I painted her eyelids mint green to help tie in all of the colors together. ^_^

My most recent picture of Amethyst! You can see how much I've darkened her eye makeup in this picture!
