Back home

We spent the last 6 days with our family on the coast... It was a really great time and was worth all of the detours it took to get there after major land slides closed off highway 101.
Now, back at home, I am planning out my work schedule and ready to get going on all that needs to be done before Blythecon in June. My sewing machine better be ready, because I am putting it to some serious work over the next few months :)

Here are a few pics that I took while we were visiting the Ocean and the Redwood Forest.. It did make me miss my home town a little bit ♥

Teagan and those hypnotizing eyes.... You are getting very sleepy.....

OK, back to work!! :)

Facebook Challenge ^__^

OK everyone, I have a challenge for you....
I have over 1400 friends on my Facebook account. But so far only 127 of you have gone to my page and "liked" it. I plan to eventually delete my "account" and only have a "page", but I don't want to lose contact with you all... So, to encourage people to join my page before I delete my account, I created this little challenge :)

The first person to go to my page and "like" it and then correctly guess which is my favorite stock Blythe, wins a free pair of my Melacacia Blue hand painted eye chips :) Once you guess, pass this on please ♥ I will reveal the winner on my page before the weekend is over.

CLICK HERE TO GO TO MY PAGE and make your guess

Thank you to those of you who have already liked my page, I appreciate it ♥

Have fun and I hope it isn't too easy! ;)

UPDATE: The winner was KAREN who was the first to correctly guess "Love Mission EBL" :)

Melacacia's Shop Announcement

Just in case you have sent me a message and I have not responded, I don't want you to think that I am ignoring you... I am just extremely busy and it might take me a little longer than usual to get to emails. Sorry for the inconvenience, I don't like waiting either :D

Most emails are related to commission work, so I thought I would post an announcement here, like I did in my Etsy shop.

Melacacia's Shop Announcement

Closed until July 2011.

I have to take a break from commissions and my Etsy shop over the next few months so I can work on my inventory for Blythecon in June 2011 and finish up a few of my personal projects. I will not be able to take on any commissions until sometime after June.

Thank you so much for all of your interest and support in my little creations!
I appreciate it so very much.

I will be "available" again in July!

Melacacia Custom Doll for Eliza Rickman

This OOAK doll was created for the amazingly talented Eliza Rickman. This doll will be sold on Eliza's Kickstarter page to help fund her upcoming album. I am very excited and honored to take part in this and hope the fund raising efforts are beyond successful!

"Eliza"
Eliza Rickman doll by Melacacia



~~~

Custom Work

Base doll was an SBL (Enchanted Petal)
She was opened and taken apart skillfully

Her face was completely sanded and all new makeup was applied
Her lips, chin and nose were carved to mimic Eliza's features
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 is sealed with MSC

Her scalp was redone with black human hair and styled like Eliza's

She will come with two dresses.
a polka dot dress that I hand dyed
and the black Melacacia dress

She will come with a doll stand and the tiny toy piano shown in photos

All items were made with love, inspiration and great attention to detail ♥
