A few that left quickly

The following are a few of my repaints that left my house so quickly, I was only able to snap a few pics. Usually I like to take my time and do a diorama or photo session. There was little or no time for that LOL

Take a look......

Before pic

These were created for my sister in law. She wanted
these made for a gift basket for an American Cancer Society function
that she was overseeing. 

I cant even remember if I posted them previously or named them LOL

This doll for a woman who has purchased my dolls
before. I had just completed her and half an hour later
she was at my door to collect LOL
I quickly had to snap a few pics before she left :)

Again, I am not sure if I posted or named her before :)

This doll was done for Frannie of Thrift store dolls.
She is actually still here (waiting to be picked up) However
she lost her outfit LOL. It belonged to another doll that has since
left the building. She still has on her fab earrings though!
The guy is still here  LOL

She is a member of the Chynadolls. She left to be on her own
and went home with Frannie. The remaining members of the Chynadolls
have not yet recovered after her leaving them. They are still waiting
for the arrival of their newest member :(

This was a bride that flew out of my house so fast that I barely had
time to blink LOL. I did manage to get more photos of her and I believe she did
appear in a previous blog :) In case you missed her before, here she is.

Her entire outfit is hand sewn, as well as her headpiece.

All Jewelry and flowers are handmade :)
I have her name written down somewhere LOL

This is Susan. She was done for a friend and fellow blogger also
named Susan at Barbie Fantasies :)

This doll was done for my Tax consultant. 

She flew out of the door before I could say tax refund! She did not even get a name
so I have named her Tax Refund LOL

I'm sure I posted this before.  This is Cannon with her date MR GI Joe.
He is a repainted GI Joe who was flocked and given facial hair.
Gone but not forgotten :)

Caution!! Doll Nudity...

Dont even remember naming her (white and black outfit) lol. She left right after she was done and this is one of the few pics I have of her! The other naked doll was done and given as a gift to Frannie :) This is the only pic I have left of her so..... Frannie, post some pics of her LOL

Finished Commission

I just finished a commission WHEW! This was a special order placed a month ago and I just completed it  in time for the woman to pick up tonight.

This is the before pic of the doll. I already added
her hair here. I forgot to snap a pic of her hair before LOL
The hair I used is called Bob Marley pony tail hair
purchased from Sally's beauty supply.

Imitating Ads... Thanks Ms Leo.

Imitating Ads is based on a blog by Ms. Leo www.i-luv-dolls.blogspot.com
The object was to find an ad and create  a doll from the ad.
This was so much fun. Thanks Ms. Leo for this suggestion. Everyone should try this.


I found my ad in a magazine while I was at B&N. I quickly snapped a photo on my cell phone.  I instantly fell in love with all of the colors and thought to myself.... mmmm that would make a great doll!


The key was finding the right doll to use!
I chose the Fashionista doll... 


Take a look

Before doll... Fashionista

Diorama's and a new repaint.

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 
Cecile :)


Introducing the Dio's and repaint :)

Danica 

June and Jackie.
This dio was created using dollar store items and a cardboard box
Dollar store items are as follows:
Chairs (candle votives) material and a sock
was used for the cushion.
Table base (candle votive)
Glass table top
Shot glass holding the flower tree.
White dog (was originally brown and black)

The table flower was made using a cork from wine :)
Bar in back was made using a small box( that held staples )
It was covered in white contact paper and then had a mirror
with smaller square mirrors attached with a glue gun.
Lamps are made with beads, craft wire and paper.
Sparkle hanging design is a christmas ornament.
Tiles on floor are from home depot :)
Bar bottles are re-ment found on ebay
Backdrop is a cereal box cut open, covered with contact paper
and a picture of flowers printed on the computer.

This is a the before pic of a doll from the flea market.

During her makeover repaint

Introducing Janea
Her face was repainted using artistic acrylics/ pastels and
sealers.

A few interesting things about this set is the statue and
wall art.
This was made by using a printed image found on line (pic in frame)
Then the same color concept was used on the statue behind Janea.
The statue is a Ken body ( found in the flea market) The body was
in good shape, however the head was a mess and not able to be repainted. It had
permanent ink on the face etc! It was beyond my patience LOL.
I painted the body in a gun metal grey. Then applied paper
mixed with water and glue to adhere  it to the body. I added the colors that I wanted then I
sealed the entire body.

End Tables are made from craft paper rolled and glued
As well as the lamp shades. Lamp base is made from
beads and craft wire. 

This dio was made using the following:
table base: small glass cup from dollar store.
Mirror top from craft store.
The chairs are made from using tomato sauce cans.
The label was removed and was replaced with
craft paper. It was then fitted with a back made using
cardboard and the same craft paper. The entire chair was
then painted white and fitted with a black and white
cushion made from material and a baby sock.
Flowers are from the dollar store as well. They were cut to
scale and fitted in different vases. 

Fireplace was made using a cardboard box covered
with craft paper that has a raised finish.  Bottom
of the fireplace was cut out and fitted with black duck tape
and craft paper.

The abstract art on top of the fireplace was made using
beads and craft wire. Books were made using craft foam
and printed paper.
