He's one hell of an assistant!

I am ever so pleased to present Sebastian Michaelis of Black Butler fame. 

For those of you who have not seen the anime I am referring to, he is one of my favorite characters. 

^_^ 

He has been a 2 year project, but he was worth the wait. 

Sebastian's re-paint was done by the talented Joey Versaw of Mary Magpie dolls. 

I re-rooted him, and then gave him a cut/style using premium black nylon hair I purchased 

from Retro Dolls US.

Sebastian has been dressed in random pieces of Ken clothes I've acquired along the way. 

(^_^)

It is here that I should note he started out as a Legolas Ken doll. 

His metamorphosis can be seen in the photo below.  

I have special plans for this new member of my 1/6 crew. 

Some hints await you in the following photos...

Such a curious first meeting...

A most alarming chemistry between them....

Not romantic, as one might assume...

 An agreement. A contract perhaps?

 

Did I mention our dear Sebastian has only one weakness?

He loves cats. ;)

I hope everyone is enjoying the changing of seasons in preparation for the new year.  

And if not, I hope you're staying warm, or cool depending on where you are in the world. <3

Catching Fire Katniss Barbie Reroot

I thought I took a before picture of her. 

I was mistaken. 

For those of you who haven't seen this doll in her original incarnation click here. :)

A little less photo flair.

To the side....flair back on. ;)  

Up close and personal. 

And Bam! ;)  

I thought she would look good as a red head. Something about her understated facial screening made me see her as a flower child/bohemian beauty. 

She was completed a few months ago and is now on her way to her new home. 

Thank you all for your continued encouragement and support! 

It is seriously 70% of my life force right now.

I Have Issues.

Last weekend I decided it was time to purge some doll items. 

I took out the shirt drawer and proceeded to dump all the little baggies into the center of a 4ft table. 

The above photograph depicts that moment. 

I crammed a doll into the pile so you could see just how huge the shirt pile was. 

O.O

I also discovered (though I already suspected) that my dress collection runneth over. 

I might also add that I have another large drawer full of gowns and fantasy style dresses. 

They are not pictured here. -_-

There were no pictures taken of my pants/shorts/capris/skirts and jackets. 

The piles are large but not nearly as daunting as the shirts and dresses. 

You'll be thrilled to know I did get rid of a few baggies full of stuff, so the piles are a lil' more manageable.  

Moments like these really set me back a bit. 

Pulling out one random doll clothes item and looking at it like a bad ex. 

Then you gasp,

"What WAS I thinking?!"

Yeah, it was a little bit just like that. ;)  

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now for the Bonus material...

The doll below has SOLD. Thank you!  ^_^

 She was part of my personal collection.
Formerly a DOTW  Philippines Barbie.

If you follow me on Flickr you might have seen her here.

While she was part of my collection I called her Mila.

 I hope the end of Summer is treating everyone well!

Until next time...

Go See Poppy Parker Re-root

For awhile now I wanted a Poppy Parker with red hair. 

I looked and waited for IT to release the perfect gal for the re-root I had in mind. 

Then, along came Poppy Parker Go See...

She was re-rooted in a hand blend of 3 different saran colors. 

I decided I liked her better on a Dynamite Girl's body, and am very pleased with her result. 

(^_^)

A quick before shot...

Pretty but not right for my collection. 

And one more picture for good measure. ;) 

The lovely dress is by the VERY talented Andy of HautePoppet.

I hope everyone had a safe and fun weekend!
