Coming Soon to the Melacacia Family!!

Acacia and I are very excited to have a new MSD coming to join the family!



I am pretty sure that I will be naming her Tiger Lily.

Unfortunately the wait for her is 4-5 weeks, but she will definitely be worth the wait... That face of hers is hauntingly sweet... It captures my heart ♥

Blythecon 2011!!

The site has been updated and the official announcement of my new and very talented friend, Eliza Rickman's performance has been made!! Yippy!

Again, here is her amazing video:

Her Memory Locket Pull Charm

She carries this with her wherever she goes, as it holds memory trinkets and gifts given to her by her Love ♥

I added a few new photos to her listing today ;)

Melacacia Custom #82

Looking for love: AUCTION

I just had to cancel someone's bid for the first time ever... Something came up and my first bidder can no longer bid on the doll... It's ok though, there is still a lot of time left and I am sure she will end up in a great home :)

She is finally finished <3

This beautiful girl has been waiting so long to be complete, I feel so badly... But am so happy to say that she is finally done!

I replaced 3 sets of her eye chips because they were cloudy. I fixed her eye mech and freshened up her face a little bit (light sanding and blush added). She still has issues with her right eye lashes, but I don't want to remove them, I think they will just be part of her character ;)

Sarah Boirin and I did a commission trade and she did this reroot for me. She did exactly what I wanted and I am very happy. Thank you, Sarah!

Here is her "before and after"

Eeep!

Sweet new stocking design that I am very excited about ^_^

I've always had a thing for socks, so it only makes sense for me to get into making these in doll proportions ;)

I will be listing a few in my Etsy shop, but mostly making them as part of my inventory for Blythecon!

Love Sick - OOAK Custom Blythe Art Doll - by Melacacia

I finished my 82nd Custom Doll, Love Sick ♥

Inspired by the upcoming holiday, Valentine's Day, "Love Sick" was created as a love sick girl ♥

She spends her days in sorrow, rubbing her eyes and holding on to the withered roses that her love once gave to her



Click above image to go to her auction ^_^

Custom Work:

Her Face was completely sanded and all new makeup was reapplied and sealed with MSC
Her lips and nose were carved
She has new delicate tea brown eye lashes
All of her eye chips were removed and replaced with my signature hand painted eye chips
She was boggled, gaze lifted and given sleepy eyes
She has new pull strings and charms

She has a custom body which allows her to be more expressive

Her hair is was replaced with mohair which was rerooted using the knot method

Her custom dress I made using beautiful 100% silk dupioni
I made her stockings and her hair piece to match the dress
She also comes with the Victorian granny boots shown in photos
All fabrics and items were bought new and then I customized everything to give it an antique appearance

I created the rose covered heart for her to stand and/or lay on and this includes the doll stand



Thanks for looking!

Fixed! :D

I had to take a break from the dress last night after I was attempting to fix it and accidentally sewed the sleeve back on inside out, backwards, you name it... I guess I was kind of tired ;)
This morning, however, I fixed it without a problem.... and I also figured out how to fix my camera's time settings as well :D

Yay for sleep!

Frustration!!!!

I don't understand how this happens! I am working with the same patterns that I have used many times for a Pure Neemo body and I still managed to completely cut it wrong or something.. Look at that shoulder! It is like 1/2 an inch bigger than it is supposed to be! I can fix it, but I am still really irritated with myself right now and had to vent. LOL

At least Teagan looks cute ;)

Our package must have gone on a world tour while on it's way here, but it was definitely worth the wait :)

Her hair arrived today and it's gorgeous! Thank you, Sarah :)

I have not attached the scalp yet, but when I do I will take some better pics.
