I ordered this factory Blythe from China over a month ago to account for shipping time, face up and new wardrobe to be completed in time for E's 6th birthday. I thought I had until the 15th but really it must be done by the 3rd! Hence the mad rush this afternoon to complete an entire face-up (carving and painting) in under three hours. It's not my most precise work to date but I really like the mouth and would like to try the shape again.
The things about being six and playing with doll is that unless they come with several dresses, they are not that interesting. Since I am pretty attached to this new girl already I really want her to be a hit. Therefore I am sewing her at least three dresses (two down). I would be terrible Blythe customizer, once completed I could never send them back! I never know what they will look like and it's like meeting a new face every time... To ensure against a bout of selfishness here I fitted her with a pair of fantasy sparkle emerald green eyes from Cool Cat, ewww but perfect for a six year old!
