Rag Doll ~ A few details....

I just wanted to point out a few details, which I forgot to point out in the listing:

Fist, in the listing I mentioned that Rag Doll comes with a separate slip that goes underneath the dress, however I forgot to post the picture of it >_<

It is quite simple and just an undergarment, but I still should have shown the photo :)

I also failed to talk about the custom box that she comes in. Similar to my previous custom doll, Mathilda, I made this special box out of an unfinished wooden box that was then distressed, stained, and decorated:



As you can see from the images, Rag Doll has a custom body. It is a Pure Neemo body which I love because it is so expressive. I forgot to mention this in the listing too :P

You can click on any of the above images to be taken to the listing!

Thank you for visiting my blog ^__^

OOAK Custom Blythe Art Doll ~ by Melacacia ~ Rag Doll

My newest Custom Blythe Doll Creation, Rag Doll

Melacacia Custom #96 ^_^



Custom Work:

Completely sanded and all new media was applied
including sweet freckles & custom stitches
Her mouth, eyes and nose were carved
All of her eye chips were replaced with my signature hand
painted eye chips and one pair of special button chips
She was boggled, gaze lifted, and given sleepy eyes
with new pull charms/beads
She has new delicate black eye lashes and is sealed w/ MSC

Her scalp is rerooted with beautiful silky black alpaca hair
Her dress(es) were designed and made by me using new fabrics that I
distressed to make look old and tattered. I also made her a seperate slip
underneath as well as the hair accessories and stockings (2 pairs).
The little teddy bear was hand made by my mom, TutuBella, just for this doll♥

She will come with the custom doll stand and box which are both made of wood.
Both were stained and designed/created by me.

All items were made by me (except for the shoes and the bear :)
with love, inspiration, and great attention to detail
♥

I had a lot of fun experimenting with different types of berries and teas today to use as dyes. Some of the colors came out so gorgeous!

This is part of my current creation which should be done by the end of the week :)

The first one always has some issues, but it turned out pretty good for a first attempt... Just a few adjustments and I should have a pretty cute little Angel dress line for Middies! (Blythecon 2012, anyone?) ;)

Love146

Did you know that for every ONE minute, TWO children are sold into commercial slavery and exploitation? I learned this horrifying stat while researching an organization called Love146, a nonprofit my friend Stacie had told me about.

A few months ago, she shared this organization's website with me, and together we knew we wanted to do something to help Love146 in their mission to abolish slavery and rescue and restore these victimized children's lives.

Over the next couple of months, we'll be working on a very special customized Blythe doll, and 100% of the auction proceeds will go directly to Love146.

We are looking for others who would like to collaborate with us on this doll and donate their time and talents in the following areas:

* Mohair reroot services

* Sewing custom outfit to go with theme

* Design of props, stand, and/or special case

Stacie is donating the doll and I will be customizing the face (face-up) and painting the eye chips.

Thank you in advance to anyone who would like to help us with this cause!

Please contact Stacie: http://www.flickr.com/people/stacieblu/
or myself if you are interested :)
