Communion Pippa

Practical Magic

A few pics of convention, i didnt take many ..um as you can see ! .. bad me 

a couple of things i was lucky enough to win from prize table ..she is one cool lady!! 

ok I did not do so well this year ! i forgot to take pics of dolls i took ! i had 4  i thought i will get time at convention to take some ...right ... too high to away with fairys so i am nabbing pics here and there .. bad me  not so close and i am waiting for some pother pics will add as i get them ...

this was a longlocks and i was personally pleased with her .. i think she came up a little more edgy than my normal dolls ..haha funny i know but i always seem to do pretty she seemed a little different so very chuffed ....

this little lady was a donation to prize table from  me and Nicolette .. 

Convention !!!

Pippa Still Naughty at 40 ..

Pippa Von Palitoy ...

aww convention is over for another year  sob** .. it was a busy one this year i got tied up a little with convention doll, she had to be special to celebrate pippa's 40th birthday  

My good friend Karen spoke to me last year and said she would like big part in the making of convention dolls this year .. i smiled and tried not to be too excitied , not daring to ask 

near to time to make the team up we spoke and maybe shoes ..woo hoo .. wow ...i wet my knickers! ..i am a Karen *shoes* addict ! ... she cant do 30 odd pairs of shoes for us surely .. BUT she did and they are so beautiful so for me we all had a gift of our beautiful convention doll plus a special birthday gift 

I think the team  did an amazing job, Suey , Janet & Elaine made the corset style dress which was a lot of work ! all pippa's little extras were so beautiful .. it was just so jam packed 

here are some amazing pics i have nabbed from Jullieanne and few of my own with the working out .

"practical Magic "

a project to transform two dawn dolls to the characters from "practical magic" ..  Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock .. the girls arrived and were cleaned back .. hair removed and face cleared of make-up .. I have re rooted ready to be styled .

arrival ..  so a before we start picture ! 

I Have removed all hair and make-up .. and re rooted both ready for styling .. pictures below sent to me for ideas of what is required ...

it has been a little hectic this year with pippa convention, the convention doll was a  little special this year! and took over me lol ... back to normality , (whatever that is )  i have laid out the work i need to to and get my butt in gear.

so i have been working on Sandra and Nicole ..

I have painted sandra ! , i was not happy with the amount of hair  for Nicole's fringe so i  had to add a little more before  she was styled ..hence no make up yet!

The next thing to do is find some material to make their outfits the cardigans are interesting i do not knit so will have to find some soft knit ..material ..i have found the below fabrics  . be interesting to try tiny embroidery on the brown cardy. i found some very soft thin black for tank tops .. sandras is slightly grey so  i will need ot fade some a touch ..but its a wonderful weight of fabric
there are two fabrics i thought might work for Sandra ... will have to check ..

And here they are .. i am quite pleased with look .., its difficult to get exact fabrics  but i feel these are pretty fair .. It was interesting trying to get the rolled fringe for Nicole!. her cardigan was interesting i found a t-shirt material which worked well and hand embroidered the flowers ..
