For my 100th blog post, I decided to have a bit of fun with my dolls. I recently saw a tag game on Flickr where folks were doing a self portrait using dolls. Well, I just had to create this. I recently acquired a few My Scene Madisons. I repainted three of those in a previous post so if you get a chance, check them out.
I love this doll! I know that most folks don't like the big heads, however if your going to try your hand at repainting, you should get Bratz or My Scene doll heads for the practice.
Ok so having said that, here is my self portrait in dolly world.
Try your hand at creating your self portrait using dolls. I would love to see what you guys come up with. I had a blast and cracked my self up with this tag game.
So... Tag Your It!

This is a beautiful self-portrait! Maybe I'll give this a try. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Roxanne, go ahead! Would love to see your portrait!
DeleteThis is too cool! I love how you're in the studio repainting a doll. Your outfit is very well done. The whole dio is on point.
ReplyDeleteThanks Muff. You know I would LOVE to see what you come up with. I really cracked myself up with this one!
DeleteGreat job! I think you captured your essence quite well.
ReplyDeleteI've done something similar but repainting was not involved. I have chosen dolls from my collection that most resembled me during various stages of my youth. Maybe I'll share some of these images in a blog post soon and of course refer readers here.
Trust me, if I tried my hand at repainting a doll to look like me, it would be disasterous.

Thanks Debbie, I would love to see those pics! The only thing missing from my dio is hubby walking in the studio shaking his head and walking back out! I did manage to seek a small pic of him in there on the desk! He cracked up!
DeleteI like how you captured your personality in your repaint. But even more, I LOVE the setting you created for your 1:6 self.
ReplyDeleteWorth a try ...
Aww thanks D7ana, yes that pretty much speaks to my studio's space , except real one is just a tad bit more clutter lol
DeleteLovely repaint and a fun idea. I recently acquired an avatar doll so I will try to feature her in a post soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Limbe, go ahead and have a blast with it :) excited to see your Avatar!
DeleteLike your idea and i love your repaint but most of all i like the setting you created and the little dolls.

Thank you Maria! This was lots of fun! Hugs back:0)
DeleteWhen I commented on this picture in flickr, I sort of missed the self portrait part. That is so perfect! Love your studio space and your custom designed outfit! It would be easy to choose a doll for my self portrait, but I haven't a clue what I'd been doing. It would be cool to have me working on a small dio. If only I had the time.
ReplyDeleteLoL, I know the feeling, Never enough time in the day to finish so many projects. Thats why I choose those the closest to me and focus on just those for the moment. Otherwise I will make myself crazy with all the stuff filling up my head at any given moment LOL
DeleteWell, I definitely can't find the words to describe your work with your self portrait. In Spanish I would say "he flipado en colores"... You created a real wonder, and the dollie details are great!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rossetti. That describes it perfect lol .
DeleteHugs my friend :)
Hello from Spain: congratulations for this self-portrait. It is a wonderful doll and it is best to be like you. I like the workshop that you created. The clothing is worn away at the drawing. How did the mini Barbie has on hand??? Congratulations ... A great job. I could not choose a Barbie with which I look. Maybe Barbie Raquel ... I need time to think ... Keep in touch.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marta, she does favor me just a bit lol. The clothing is my own hand painted design on S.I.S clothing.
DeleteWOW! You're pretty cute <3 I'd like to create a mini me doll, but I don't know what kind of doll could fit with myself :/
ReplyDeleteThanks my friend. It took me a while to figure out who I wanted to use as my mini me lol
DeleteVery nice and well done! I have tried my hands at repainting and it's a "no way". I will try to come up with creating a doll that is kinda/sorta like me. Hmmm.....who will it be. Lol!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love your mini me space. ; )
Thanks Vickey, no way at the painting lol well Im sure whatever you come up with will reflect who you are in many ways :) hugs
