 Another of my new backdrops....they work well with most dolls.
She now has brown eyes instead of the black that are in the other photos...I like the brown much better.
This is my new girl...I've had her a while, but she didn't have a face until recently.  She is RuoDie from Only-Doll.
Face and body up are by me.  She has a beautiful carrot red mohair wig and black eyes....I wasn't sure about the black eye thing, but the more I look at her with them, the more I like her.

 Today it was icky and snowy outside.  So I stayed in the studio and worked on Lizette.  This is her as she arrived from Wilde Imagination.  The following photos are how she looks now.
 Lisette posing for the camera...she loves the camera.
 Lizette and Ellowyne...both with "Candy's touch"
 Lizette with her new face-up, inset eyes, lashes and human hair wig.
I think she came out so pretty.

Ellowyne

Ellowyne got a new 'do'...it suits her very well.
 Ellowyne arrived the other day.  After I unpacked her, she demanded a day at the spa. 
I cut her eyes out and inset hard glass blue eyes and lashes.  I also gave her new face make up, and wig.
 Beautiful 'new' Ellowyne........contact me for pricing.
 She also received a complete body-up.

Resin Bleuette

This little girl is a resin Bleuette from Ruby Red Gallery.  I love little Bleuette and Her Friends and Family.  If you visit my store, The Doll Lady, Inc....there's a link on this page....you will see some of my other work, many of the dolls that are listed are Bleuette.  It's a fun place to visit.....

 This is her new face-up...I painted her in antique style rather than modern.  I wanted her to reflect the Bleuette era.
I enlarged her eyes a little.  I softened the curves if her lips by smoothing the resin and I defined her lip line a little better.  I also opened her mouth a touch and gave her a slight hint of a smile.
She makes a darling Bleuette friend!

This is a little 18 inch Shirley Temple doll I just restored.  Unfortunately I forgot to get a photo of her before I started on her.  When she arrived at my studio, she was very, very dirty, her wig was matted terribly and the poor girl didn't have the front part of her feet...no toes, ouch.  I cleaned her from head to 'toe',  recreated the front part of each foot and strung her back together.   Then I started worked on her wig, it was gently combed it out and reset it.  She needed an eyebrow, lips and a touch of blush.  Her dress, socks and shoes are new.  Shirley was my customer's mother's childhood doll.  Mom was also going to have her restored, but never did anything about.  So daugther decided having Shirley restored would be a great gift for her at Christmas time.  I totally agree....
