Hey guys, sorry its been a while since my last post. My day job has me running at full speed! Fighting crime has really been exhausting and has not left me with much time to spend with my repaints or dioramas :(
I did manage to get one diorama completed! I also have a few pics that were never posted of Danica and her friends in other completed dios. I still have many more things in the works (including the finishing of the Chynadolls Dio) and a bedroom scene to say the least.
So many ideas and not enough hours in the day!
Well duty calls :)
I'm off to continue my crime fighting :) Keep me in your prayers
Until next time..
blessings

I'm always amazed by your work!!!! Love the dios, you've got a special ability to make wonderful furniture from totally un-dollie things. And the repaint is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rossetti :)
DeleteJanea looks smashing! :) Great diorama too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Verona:)
DeleteCecile, as always I'm thrilled with your work! You have such a great eye for what you can use for your dolly world. I don't remember seeing Ginger before, she and Janea are REALLY pretty. I liked seeing your pictures of your painting process too! I've started my demo doll from the CD I bought using the colors that she is using to illustrate her technique. It is very challenging, but I'm getting a kick out of it and can't wait to get through the whole process to see what I come out with. Hugs friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan. Ginger was a previous post from Ginger's gems, a spa I created. I am excited to see your repaints! That is how I started repainting. My hubby purchased a repaint CD for me. Its so much fun! Just remember to practice and practice and just have fun with it all :)Hugs back my friend
DeleteThe dioramas and dolls are so awesome. Now I will have to stop at the dollar store to see if I can pick up some of those items you used.
ReplyDeleteThanks Frannie :)
DeleteSuch a cute little diorama - I love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tabitha :)
DeleteI really like the black dress in the first picture. Your dioramas are awesome. Time for some tutorials!
ReplyDeleteThanks Limbe. I really would like to do tutorial, however I really dont have the time :( sorry. If there is something you would like to know how to make just let me know and I will go into further details :)
DeleteI love love these dio's. I was totally amazed at the items you used from the Dollar Tree to create such gorgeous rooms. Now I will think twice before I throw out cans. Lol! Very creative idea. Also Janea is lovely as all of your creations are. It was great seeing Danica, June and Ginger again,
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love your blog's new look.
Thanks Vickey :) I am always looking at everyday items and trying to get additional uses for them in my dios. It is just so much fun! Thanks for the compliment on my blog. I felt it was time for a change :)
DeleteYou did a new technique on Janea's eyes. It's beautiful. These dios are so fresh. I love when people take regular elements and use them for dolls.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and keep sharing.
Hey its Muff, thank you and I totally agree with taking regular elements and using them for dolls and dios :) Its so much fun seeing what my mind can come up with when I recycle stuff :) Thanks for noticing Janea's eyes :) It is a new technique! I am always studing and learning new things as I go along:0)
DeleteLove all the dios and the creative ways you used designed everything! My favorite thing of all though is the Ken body statue! Now that is beautiful and so artistic. Love the new repaint, Janea. It was great to see all of the ladies, especially Ginger!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vanessa, that statue is one of my favs as well.
DeleteHello from Spain: congratulations on your creations. They are all fantastic. Your new Janea is very pretty. The scenes you were very elegant. The statue with the body of Ken's original.. Congratulations on this great work. Be careful in your fight against crime. When I see American series type ‘’Law and Order’’ or ‘family of cops’, I always say that you have a very hard and dangerous job. thanks to people like you, citizens can rest easy in the streets. Keep in touch.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Marta :) Hugs to you
ReplyDeleteWow everthing looks great. Very creative, just love it. Janea makeup is really pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brini :)
DeleteI love the new face of Janea !
ReplyDeleteThank you Shasarignis :) Welcome to Chynadoll Creations.
DeleteYour repaints are absolutely beautiful. Where do your inspirations come from for the new faces and personalities?
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, thanks so much :) my inspiration comes from many places. I people watch, read magazines and watch some tv lol. Its mostly from watching people. I might see a style or look and try and recreate it. I work around lots of folks and have the traveling public in my face all the time lol so I get to see lots!! I am always expanding my mind and creativity to challenge myself for something new. Thanks for dropping by and following my blog :)
DeleteI just love your Dios and Dolls! It should be a regular feature on your blog! I was amazed with the Ken body! Soo artistic! The furniture was great too! I had been looking at votives at another store that were way more than a dollar to do the same thing. I didn't want to spend what they were asking. I saw these votives last week at the dollar store and put them on my list for next week. I really would love to learn how you paint your faces!
