Last Saturday, I was given yet another doll baby to clean and fix up from Frannie. www.thriftstoredolls.blogspot.com
He was a bit messy when he arrived but after a wonderful bath and a little touch up here and there, he is a little cutie pie :) Thanks again Frannie for this lovely Thrift Store Find :)

| This is how the little one arrived. I had not named yet because looking at him in this state, it was hard to come up with an appropriate name. My husband walked in the room, looked at him and said to call him ashy! I fell out of my chair laughing!!! He was looking a bit dusty/ ashy in color and had scary eyes and slightly pinkish lips O_O ! |
 Meet Dillon :) |
| Here he is after a nice bath & repainted full face. I had to give him a total repainted face including his skin tone to make him look less chalky/ashy/dusty I then repainted his eyebrows and eyes and removed the pinkish lip color and gave him a softer lip to match his skin tone :) |
 |
| I think he looks quite pleased with his new look. He is wearing a thrift store find outfit onesie/bib and sock for just three bucks. It used to belong to lil Rusty but I don't think he minds one bit. |

 Dillon & Alicia |
| My husband just looks at them now and shakes his head! *Mumbling something about extra folks gonna have to start paying rent*! He said they are taken over. He moved them off the couch and put them by the fireplace because he claims they keep looking at him like they are hungry LOL |

Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much:)
DeleteHe is simply charming. He looks so happy to have had a nice bath, shampoo and moisturized hair!. Let his Daddy know that he might like to have a little treat:)
DeleteThanks Vals Joy.
DeleteJust a little background information on Dillon. He was marked Lakeshore 1987. Lakeshore is a School Supply company that made/still makes Ethnic Dolls for schools to teach diversity. I am almost sure he came with his original clothes.
ReplyDeleteI knew Chynadoll would make Dillon come to life. Her repaint is awesome! Love Hampton's quotes about the dolls!
Thanks for the info on him Frannie:) and thanks again for him. He loves his new look and home :)
DeleteDillon is just as cute as he can be. The whole makeover has done wonders for him. I do know what your husband means. My son does not like my 22" cutie either, especially when I have her sitting in the chair with the remote!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brini, lol at your cutie sitting with the remote! Gonna have to do that and totally freak my hubby out LOL!
DeleteDillon looks sooo much better. He's a real cutie. I have to remember that Big Kelly for you. Then your collection will be complete :O)
ReplyDeleteOh yes bring the Big Kelly on girl!
DeleteDillon is such a doll (no pun intended). Your repaint really brought him to life. He is a handsome little boy. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Georgia girl :) yes he is quite the handsome little fella isn't he lol
DeleteGreat improvement.
ReplyDeleteYour doll family is growing by leaps and bounds. Be careful; they tend to multiply and take over space before you know it.

Ha ha, shhh Debbie, don't say that too loud! It's already beginning lol
DeleteLovely repaint, he's so cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you:)
DeleteLove what you did with Dillon. His color is much better now and I love his hair...he is sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
Deletebeautiful doll, so human alike. after repaint looks even more "real". you are very talented!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much :)
DeleteOh Wow! Will you please show these doll manufactures what a black doll's skin tone should be like!
ReplyDeleteGirl! I wish they would get it right all the time lol! Makes my skin itch just looking at the ashy color ones lol
DeleteI can't stop smiling because of your husband; he sounds just like mine and I have to keep my dolls in other rooms because he swears they're starring at him! You are SUCH a GIFTED artist and Dillon looks so cute and cuddly.
ReplyDeleteThank you:) I had him in the bed room on my dresser after I repainted him. I went to work and when I came home he magically made his way down stairs. Hubby moved him because he *Dillon* kept starring at him and making him nervous! Go figure! Guess Chuckie is still on lots of folks minds ha ha
DeleteLovely, he is so changed, from a scary chucy look a like to a cute sweet boy. Very well done!
ReplyDeleteHugs

Hello from Spain: your new baby is very very cute. Your job is fantastic, it is gorgeous. In the other entry congratulations on the two story house you know it is my weakness. The bathroom with the shower curtain it was very real. I love it. The quilt and the color of the main room is very smart and beautiful. Baby´s room is fantastic. I will write ideas for my home. I look forward reforming the bottom of the house. Congratulations and keep in touch
ReplyDeleteThanks Maria, yes the Chucky look is gone lol.
DeleteThank you Marta:) please let me know your ideas for your home :) and post pics as well. If you have questions or need ideas please feel free to let me know:)
Both dolls are Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe repaint gives Dillon character! He have those cute lil squeezable cheeks! I know Dillon is so glad that Chynadoll got a hold of him and gave him a total makeover, His hair says YES!!! Thank you for the new fresh look!lol! Alicia says it's about time! lol!
Thanks Queen T. Hugs:)
DeleteLove him. You are so talented. I think his new hairdo is my favorite. Your husband sounds like mine...LOL.
ReplyDeleteThanks :) Yes, I also love his hair.
DeleteYour husband has me in hysterics! That was funny. This is another amazing transformation. Do you show at doll shows or artists markets?
ReplyDeleteLol, yeah my husband is hysterical at times :) I never know what is gonna come out of his mouth LOL. No I do not show at doll shows or artists markets (yet) working on that one :) and thank you for your comment.
DeleteYou can tell he likes his new look. He is just a smiling. Makes you just want to pick him up. I love his new hair. Great job all around. Tell your husband he has a new name; Hilarious Hampton. The majority of the men and boys in my life (after my divorce)had trouble with the doll eyes. Hampton is not alone. That's one of the reasons I don't have dolls throughout the house. I already have a dog that runs off men. I can't have dolls doing it, too.
ReplyDeleteHa ha cracking up on Hilarious Hampton :) That's him for sure! And folks don't think Pastor's have a sense of humor Ha Ha! I have two terror dogs LOL Snickers and Hershey! Little terrors!
