Dreadlocks and Kawaii!

Last week, I worked on a very special guest. 

I didn't snag any before pictures, but you might recognize him from Miranda's blog.

It is the handsome, Shaun!

<3

Miranda wanted something edgier for him, 

so she sent him to me for dreadlocks.  

Here is the result...

For those of you who want to try something like this,
I suggest visiting this wonderful tutorial:

 Miranda did his awesome facial hair.

 The style is actually done with side cuts on both sides.

One more...full body shot. ;)

I promised some Kawaii style cuteness in the title, and now I'm going to deliver. 

^_^

I re-bodied one of my Fashionista Barbies, named Nala, on a new Made to Move Barbie body. 

She has such a sweet face!

As you can see, Nala and Morgan have become fast friends. 

I hope they don't share a love of bad boys. 

Maybe Nala's kind demeanor will rub off on Morgan over time. 

I can dream. ;)




 On a side note:
I saw the following posted on Facebook
and thought some of you might be interested.

Boys and Curls, May I Have Your Attention, Please? ;)

I recently completed a commission that allowed me to experiment with a new medium. 

Glitter! 

Okay, it isn't new, but it isn't something I have used for flocking before. 

The base doll for this project was a Hunger Games Finnick Ken.

Here is his disembodied head also sometimes referred to as a before shot.

;)

I'd say, judging from his expression, he isn't feeling the before picture.

Oddly, I think he's feeling this look.

I flocked both sides in a very fine black glitter. 

It went everywhere.

 I should've donned a mask, but I had no idea the sparkling death my lungs would incur. 

Still, it looks pretty don't you think? 

(^_^)

For a guy who has glitter on both sides of his head, he looks serious. 

o.O 

I'd like to point out that neither of us happens to be magicians.

His shirt was changed to gray using Photoshop.  ;)

Bonus project!

For those of you who may not recognize the gal in the above picture, she is a Tris Divergent Barbie doll.

I liked her original look. 

But you know I'm a sucker for longer hair when it comes to my dolls.  

So, this transformation may not surprise you. 

She was rerooted in original brunette from Restoredoll.com.

I re-named her Clara, and she is wearing another beautiful creation from HautePoppet.

I know a lot of individuals aren't thrilled with the new Made to Move Barbie bodies.
But I LOVE them!
The range of motion coupled with the affordability is a win/win for me.



On an unrelated note,
 I have officially dropped the "A" and will now be known as "Doll Affinity" instead.
 I will be changing out logos reflecting the new and subtle name change soon-ish.
^_^


May this find you happy and smiling,

He's One Hell of a Homme!

Recently, I took a couple commission requests from a dear friend of mine. 

(Yes my commission book will be re-opening soon, but with very limited spaces.)

^_^

She sent Handsome Devil Damon my way for some much needed hair help. 

I like that his eyes look rimmed with tears here. 

Not sure if that would be a look of fear, desperation in his need for help, or just a crappy picture?

Regardless, that is the before look of our harrowing Damon. 

;)

  

The after result looked like this. He looks happier. Well as happy as a devastatingly good looking Homme with a new lease on plastic life can look.

 I'd say his quick after picture comes off a bit suggestive. 

Oops.  *-*

Now to the fashionable and fun photos of the finished Damon...

Much better. 

;)

Oh dear....not this again. 

It appears that Damon is trying to steal my Lucy away. 

Indeed a handsome devil....

and a sneaky flirt too. 

(Psst....Lucy is wearing HautePoppet.) 

;)  

Well, I will wrap this post up by saying that you will be seeing A LOT of me around here and everywhere dolls are concerned. I've made a certain, and terrifying leap. 

More on that later. 

Until then, may this find you well and smiling friends!

-Cat  (^_^)

(and all the rest of those wicked little plastic people who steal my money and make me smile.)
