Not Just Dancewear: Isabelle's Performance Set Unitard

Today we have Sharmaine sporting 

Isabelle's "sleek unitard," haha. 

That is how it is described on the American Girl website.

We'll call it a sleek-tard.

Our camera-phone experimentation continued with this series of pics.

And as you can tell her wig is in a different position from last time.

This is a benefit of not gluing down the wigs.
And we can swap them around all of our bald dolls as we please.

Her top was crafted by Etsy's Royal Doll Boutique.

Tiny pink bunny is from the San-X Sentimental Circus line.

You can buy it here:

Sunshine moved a little bit and her hair became redder,

skin tone more golden in da pics....

Which goes to prove how different your doll 

can look depending on the lighting...

Even in this series of pics her hair color and skin tone look different pic to pic, 

because the clouds kept moving, 

shifting the quality and quantity of sunshine!

We should do more posts on that issue. :-)

Custom Dolls?

We have been throwing around the idea of 

making custom dolls and selling them. 

Nothing too drastic as far as customization. 

But new dolls. Not pre-owned. 

Not needing tender loving care and then fixed up.

Nothing wrong with that type of customization, 

but that wouldn't be what we would do.

Sort of like making more Sharmaines (a #26 with a Saige relaxed wig) 

and then offering them for sale -- 

but all types of face molds, skin colors, eye colors, boy and girl dolls, etc.

Please comment below whether you would buy these kinds
of dolls (in the comments section).

It would be super helpful to get y'alls opinions. :-)

Camera-Phone Experimentation: Cropped Tank and Peplum Skirt

Hello Fiends!

So it's been awhile since we have been able to post our own pics 

of dolly goodness here at The DW.

During the July 4th week we ventured outdoors (gasp!) 

for some camera-phone experimentation.

We usually use a Canon Rebel, but this time we purposefully 

left that puppy in the camera cupboard and 

used our Samsung Note3 camera-phone thingy.

We thought it would be interesting to experiment with it 

and see what we could shoot. 

You never know what you can come up with until you try!

Today we will share our pics of Sharmaine, our #26 that we have scalped.

Currently she is wearing Saige's wig that 

we boiled and conditioned; 

so it is a relaxed version of that wig.

The wig is not glued down, 

so we move it around on her head, haha.

This also allows us to use this wig on all of our other bald dolls.

Sharmaine is wearing a cropped mint tank top from
Etsy's Closet 4 Chloe,
a purple necklace from Etsy's Everyday Dollwear,
and a light grey peplum skirt made by
Etsy's Royal Doll Boutique.

And how did we get Sharmaine to stand up in the grass???

Certainly not on her own two feet, 

because we have never managed that very easily, haha.

With a stick! In the drain grate! Woot! Fancy!

But, hey maybe that will help people get some ideas for taking outdoor pics.

There is our "behind the scenes" pic! ^^^ Heehee.

Thanks for visiting us today!
