Preparing to voyage to parts unknown

Alright Amazon, you win. That is finally enough of a markdown for me to buy this ridiculous doll 😄 I have no strong feeling one way or another about Kylie Jenner--I'm dimly aware she's a person who exists in the world and little else--but I've wanted a Big Bratz for as long as they've been a thing, and one with purple hair???? She'll make an excellent crochet model 🧚🏽‍♀️ And tbh after the shit week I've had (which will probably continue into the next) I think I deserve an early birthday present.

....And just like that, my nemesis returns <_<

Look. I'm not going to tell anyone how to spend their money. I'll just say the original Bleeding Edge Goths were the only "collector" dolls I've ever had to throw in the trash. Because they melted. Those of you who are familiar with unstable plastics know what I'm talking about.

Maybe their QC standards will be better this time around. Maybe they won't. I'm not willing to spend $50 to find out. Which is ashame, because I actually think the standard purple/orange variant is pretty cute. She'd look great with my Toffees. But I've been disappointed by this brand too many times to risk being burned again.

Who is the tall girl with the pink hair??? I think I have those same shelves (Furinno?) with the pink lining XD

Oh. Right. Full.

Not doll related, but tiny? Somewhere in tags one of you expressed an interest in seeing some of my art (apologies for not remembering who!). On a whim I decided to participate in this year's cycle of The 100 Day Project by making artist trading cards, which are arguably small enough to work as decor elements in a doll display XD But for now I'm just keeping them in an A5 binder. I did this one last night and was rather pleased with how it turned out, so I decided to share.

Piper's new look is complete! Took a few more days than the other girls' dresses because this crocodile/mermaid/scale stitch is a bit more labor intensive than the more basic crochet style I usually default to for this sort of freehand project, but I got very inspired by her flower crown and wanted to make her into a little peachy petal princess 🧡 I am SO pleased with how it turned out. I ended up doing this outfit as a separate skirt and top rather than one piece, which just made more sense construction-wise, but I think aesthetically it worked out for the best, as the hem of the top adds a little extra dimension to the overall look. My aim with the skirt was VOLUME and I think I succeeded XD

This whole process has been so much fun, and my execution has improved so markedly over the course of it, that I think I might take another pass at the dresses I made for Rory & Greta, to see if I can do better. I'm much happier with what I achieved for Piper and Skyler, and I think the other girls deserve something just as good. Plus I still have a ton of that Ice Cream yarn left ;p

A bit of a departure for this one--NOT LB Ice Cream! This is an unnamed rainbow pastel colorway of an Ice Yarns line--Baby Magic, I think?--that has been languishing in my stash for ages. It's the leftovers from a blanket I made when my brother's first child was born...said child is now a tween XD I knew I'd find a use for the rest eventually!

EXCUSE ME, SIR, this is not your game 😂

Cherry everything 🍒🌸

TY! Seems like I'm getting better at sizing pieces for them the more that I make, I think this turned out the best so far. I was really happy to dig this yarn out of my stash for her, I'd forgotten all about it XD

Sklyer's done aside from a couple of bits I need to finish in the back. Her dress is made from LB Ice Cream Big Scoop in the Unicorn colorway. I feel like she needs pearls on there somewhere, but I'll worry about additional embellishment after I make Piper's dress.

they're so cute 😭
