Slump-er party

Slumber party becomes Slump-er party, a photo by ★ Melacacia ★ on Flickr.

Carsten and Miranda thought it would be fun to have their own little private "alpaca girls" slumber party where they braided each other's hair and looked at magazines....
But they just ended up feeling guilty the whole time for excluding the others and once again, Carsten is in tears.
This slumber party has now become a slump-er party for two.

Melacacia's Shop Announcement

I will no longer be taking custom orders after today, July 13th, but I will be adding items to my Etsy shop when I can and of course, creating custom dolls each month :)

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

Front page news!

Front page news!, a photo by keyinherpocket - Parasol Doll on Flickr.

Blythecon made the front page news of this Portland newspaper... And I am honored that my doll was used for the cover photo... It is funny to me that they used my doll as a way to show how "Creepy" Blythe is... She has to be one of my least "creepy dolls" to date :P

Melacacia~ gone until July 11th

I will be offline until the 11th of July, so if anyone sends me a message I will get back to you then :)

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Blythecon came and went

We had a great time in Portland and Blythecon was such a wonderful experience. A room full of people who know what I am talking about when I say EBL, Reroot, Pure Neemo, and Boggled? What more could a girl ask for! :)

I was so busy the whole time that I didn't get a chance to take as many pictures as I would have liked. I also didn't get to see half of the room! So I know that there were a lot of people that I didn't even get to meet. But the people that I did meet were so sweet and I really appreciated when Gina Garan came over to my table so I could say hi to her... If she hadn't done that I don't think I would have been able to see her! Thanks to everyone who stopped by my table to introduce themselves and/or purchase some of my dresses and chips! Thank you also to those of you who put a bid on my Sailor Doll, I really appreciate it. Congratulations to Karen for being the one to bring her home ♥

Overall it felt like an inspiring group of creative people. Actually it felt like a room full of friends as I already "knew" so many. It was refreshing to finally meet the human behind the dolls that I would recognize at one glance, I just loved it. And I truly appreciate all of the hard work and time that went into it. Thank you Julie, Maggie and Kyle!

I hope there will be another Blythecon soon, I will be much more prepared the next time around :)

I created this gallery from photos that other people took of my table (and dolls, etc): http://www.flickr.com/photos/melacaciadoll/galleries/72157626898850175/#photo_5860463119

Thanks for stopping by!

Melacacia Custom #91 ~ Portland, little sailor girl

I created this little sailor girl for Blythecon 2011. Her name is Portland, in honor of the city in which Blythecon takes place :)




She is a full Melacacia custom doll created from an RBL mold

Sand matted
All new media applied to face
Carved mouth and nose
4 new sets of my hand painted eye chips
Sprayed sealed with MSC
Alpaca rerooted scalp (knot method)

I created her outfit and doll stand with a sailor theme in mind
The musical base plays "Beyond the Sea" when turned

I will take more photos of her at Blythecon before she finds her new mom (or dad) :)

Thank you and if you are going to be there on Monday, we are looking forward to seeing you there!!

off to pack my bags! :D

Getting ready

We fly out this weekend for Portland, so I am trying my best to get all of my inventory and everything else finished and packed up... What a crazy week it has been so far, but I am feeling pretty good about getting it all done in time :)

Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend!!
