Saige's Painting Set Review, Part Tres

Last part of the review peeps!

So we showed you the pristine Fox and Family artist apron in Part Dos.

Then in our doll fantasy world, CeCe had a good ol' time painting up a whole bunch of things and working on a lot of arty projects.

In reality, we smeared acrylic paints in various colors all over the thing. ;-)

And then let it dry.

DW Top Tip: If you want to see any of these shots larger, simply click on one and you will be brought to a larger slideshow that you can click through.

CeCe's tee shirt is from Etsy's Mon Chat Dans La Lune.

Her red pants are from Etsy's According to Emma.

Apron on.

Phew. All three parts done.

Doesn't it look like CeCe had some fun??? Haha.

Thanks for visiting us today!

Saige's Painting Set Review, Part Dos

Hola again peeps!

Today we show you the Saige Painting Set with a doll, so you can see the scale.

Technically the easel should be taller, as it is a bit low for the AGs to use realistically. But it is taller than the other wooden easels we already owned, so that is nice.

DW Top Tip: If you want to see any of these shots larger, simply click on one and you will be brought to a larger slideshow that you can click through.

The easel should be as tall as CeCe or taller, since she isn't an adult.

You might be able to argue it is a sitting-style easel. But we all know that the dolls can't sit with their legs bent in a way to actually sit at this easel.

You might want to place the easel on top of a platform or box to make it a bit higher.

Fyi, the white tray on the easel flips up and then the easel folds up, to pack flat.

CeCe is wearing her artist's apron, custom-ordered from Etsy's Fox and Family/Acorn Soup.

Jane would probably make more of these if you asked her. :-)

The little paintbrushes and paint tubes fit perfectly in the front pockets.

CeCe's tee shirt is from Etsy's Mon Chat Dans La Lune.

Her red pants are from Etsy's According to Emma.

Part Tres of this Painting Review will be the aftermath of us "messing up" the apron.

Our main issue with all of these artist's supplies is that they are not messy.

When artists create, they tend to make a mess. It is part of the fun!

So our plan all along was to "mess up" this apron.

Stay tuned to see what it looks like after CeCe has some painting fun!

Using Tinsel for Holiday Photos: Part Two

 Here we go with Part Two...

Again this idea is from The Spicys Doll Blog

Tinsel Photo Backdrop: http://the-spicys-doll-blog.blogspot.com/2012/12/tinsel-photo-backdrop.html

We assembled ourselves in front of the tinsel.

TIP: Click on any of our photos to be brought to a larger version of it in a slideshow in case you want to see our shots enlarged. 

Liv changed her outfit for the shots, so we were both wearing our holiday sweaters.

Liv's sweater is also from Buzzybea on Etsy, and her fish pants are from Acorn Soup/Fox and Family on Etsy. They were originally MY fish pants. But I lent them to her. I am so generous and awesome.
Again, Liv's Janes shoes were custom-made for us by A Bee Line on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ABeeLine

Pants and leggings and shoes.

Purple sweater.

Red sweater.

Practicing head-shots.

Two good head-shots with our normal lens.

Using Tinsel for Holiday Photos: Part One

Sup peoples, Maples here.

This is a "Maple Insists" post -- I insisted that we have a holiday photo shoot this year. And I insisted I be in it. Despite this new girl being here and everyone being excited about that.
Liv Something is her name.

Nora was taking the photos and said it would be nice if Liv and I were in the shoot together.

Sigh. I guess I'll accept that.

So this year's Holiday Photo Shoot was based on an idea from the The Spicys Doll Blog.

Tinsel Photo Backdrop: http://the-spicys-doll-blog.blogspot.com/2012/12/tinsel-photo-backdrop.html

Eventually we managed to come up with these two portrait shots with our new 50mm lens, which you can see them on our Facebook Page as well.

TIP: Click on any of our photos to be brought to a larger version of it in a slideshow in case you want to see our shots enlarged.

More of those 50mm shots will be coming here on the blog, but right now they are on the other computer, in a different state.

So for this post you'll just have to live with the set-up and
the next post will be normal (non-50mm) shots.

Like The Spicys recommend, we slapped some tinsel around a clothes hanger.

Then we packaged-taped that hanger to the closet door that we usually stand in front of.
(Ignore the door handle...)

For the tinsel-prepping Liv is wearing a plaid button-down shirt custom-ordered from Royal Doll Boutique on Etsy. A grey tank top and jeans from Liberty Jane. Liv's Janes shoes were custom-made for us by A Bee Line on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ABeeLine

I, Marvelous Maple, am wearing a tank top and leggings from Sylvie and Bruno on Etsy, and a sweater from Buzzybea on Etsy. My shoes are from American Girl.

For two dolls it probably makes more sense to do two hangers and two sets of tinsel. Or even more tinsel if you wanted full-body shots in front of the tinsel. We were mostly going for head-shots though.

Here I am telling Liv how to arrange the tinsel.

 

Here she is listening to me like a good girl.

 

Stay tuned for Part Two... 

when we assemble ourselves in front of the tinsel in preparation for the head-shots.
