Dolls and Crafts

Yesterday I had a few friends over and we did crafts. There's nothing better than hot tea, cookies and good friends! I had many small projects, like checking what colour of hair I should use for my custom Skelita Monster High doll, drawing a few sketches, finishing pieces of jewellery and glueing doll eyelashes in place.

Skelita and her soon-to-be hair. And my cute bone tiara that needed some hot glue.

I'm loving these colours! The necklace with the rhinestones had been waiting for ages for me to just to replace a few stones that had fallen off. It's one my favourites but for a long time I always forgot to fix it.

Here's Bella! She's a Soom Glot resin doll. I recently sold my other resin dolls since they were just collecting dust in the closet, but I couldn't part with Bella, she's too precious! I fixed her eyelashes, they had gone wonky when I had carelessly packed her in a box without anything to protect her face. She also needs new strings, the current ones have some how lost elasticity and she constantly wants to nod and curl into a fetal position ;D Might also paint her horns some day.

Bella has the cutest pout and I just love her clothes. I have a pink frilly dress for her also, but the shade doesn't match the dusty pink of her cape so I've been planning to sew a new dress that would go better with this outfit. She came with a cape, a tiny corset top and bloomers. Dolly shoes have always been hard for me to find in the styles that I like, so it's a good thing Bella has hooves so I don't need to worry about footwear.

You can see her tiny hooves here. She's too floppy to stand on her own at the moment.

Yes, I'm soon thirty years old and I still play with dolls ;D But she's so cute!
