Rescue of my own rescues!

So a couple of years ago i just decided to let go a little and I had a few heads I had re rooted but was not happy with, i ruined them with tongs! sigh* so they have been sitting in a box.

I decided i need a little umm lets say practise i have not re painted for while 

these lil gals needed some help as you can see so i thought lets try to rescue, have a little practise!

I have re washed hair and removed all makeup, i have cut the nasty ends and restyled to this so far

I wanted to practice the different end length to hair 

do they are more natural hair cuts ..I am pretty pleased so far ..

This pretty pip is I think going to be  the only one i can rescue, the other two are going to have to start again sigh* ahh well i am pleased with lil pinky here. she is ready to get an outfit ..again i will sit in my pile of fabrics and see ! 

If you would like to follow these gals being re saved! then i will add more to this thread as i continue ..Thank you

Jasmine

Jasmine 

so here is Jasmine she is going to go for a new look

As she arrived and ready for to through the transformation ..then freshly scalped and cleaned 

 



I have re- rooted in black saran and added some greens to go with the fabric i have for her( will show you that later)

 I have created a widows peak along front of her hair .. and then held back and sewn towards the back of the head,  keeps it tidy and in place, she is now ready to have it styled 

(I usually knot in one thread and go across the hair to give me guide where to sew on the head)

Jasmines has had her curls put in, needs little trim in yet  like to leave a couple of days not to rush it . I have fabrics for Jas which i need to work out how to put it together and style of outfit 

Looking at Jaz today .. i have fabrics i think these colours are wonderful with customers fabric so we have a range of vibrant greens and blues .. i will use blue as an accent colour i think ..i may add some red not sure if its right .. 

I am gathering images on Pinterest to give me inspiration

I have created a bodice using the wings of one type of butterfly then used the chiffon butterfly fabric to create a split front skirt. I am thinking black long boots and I am unsure of length re skirt. I have pinched up the fabric to the side, I rather like this effect. 

Butterflys ....  

 I have completed her make up and her dress just need a press stud and she will be on her way ..

As her progress moves forward I will post on this thread how she turns out 

Organising Pippa dolls & Space

As Pippa life had been put away i spent yesterday sorting and organising my space and work.

Some dolls that need to be done getting them ready for their journey, my husband walked in as i was cleaning and remarked on my bowl on the floor  "Ahh pippa soup mmm" 

Some gals for me and for commissions all getting a deserved bath! or just Pippa soup! 

I will test myself out and get the rust out of my system on a couple of dolls for myself then set to work on these lovelies 

Pippa cars

Ok so when i do projects i do go overboard .. i picked up two beat up pippa cars at a toy fair so well i always wanted to have a custom one do here I go .. rubbed down , primed and sprayed ready for the next step ..ok so my hubby was spraying to cherubs also .. lol.. 

I think I have too many things on the go!

Projects

Some Projects I have been slowly working on and yep very slowly. I built my own display boxes from scratch you will remember from a previous post me purchasing the items to play with. It was messy but good fun creating these they still need some work but so far so good. 

Now to work on the  gals to fit in these displays I have firm ideas in my head lets see if  i can create whats in my head!.

The two bikes I just found, it is hard to find  things on pippa scale, I am quite pleased with these.
