I'm gonna try to post more doll photos here on Tumblr.

These were taken in the "Ihmeellinen pieni maailma" miniature fair in Espoo, Finland in 2024. The art workshop diorama was created by Susanna, the Ken and Kaarna doll story creator.

The dolls Ken (orange dress), Kaarna (short blue-dyed hair, Mackie sculpt, orange shirt that says "Fuck The Universe", and Mari (the blonde who models for the live drawing) are characters from the Ken and Kaarna doll story.

There were a bunch of dolls from many different people visiting the diorama, it was very fun.

My dolls pictured here visiting the diorama: the guitar-playing Kit (Barbie Looks) with the skull top, the cyrvy Daya fashionista hybrid with the paint-splattered white coat, Becky (the wheelchair user), Trichelle MTM hybrid with the green and black crop top.

@dolligrafik thank you. I figured those were all compatible skintones. I've used that Fryda for so many body donors. I've got a growing collection of Fryda and Karl heads lying around 😄

Anyone know a good mtm skintone match for this doll? I can't find her on any of the charts I usually use

I think I've seen some people put her on the petite looks with the Karl face but I'd rather not make her petite.

I'm guessing maybe the brunette soccer player or floral bun?

I'll probably go with the soccer player cause you basically have to auction off an organ to get a floral bun mtm these days 😄

I recently realized that this is my first in box "new" holiday Barbie.

It's probably silly but I think I'll leave her in the box for now and open her on Christmas.

Some doll clothing I made as a gift in late 2023.

Boop!

@dolligrafik you know, I got that side glance mermaid and didn't even realize it was the tori sculpt until much later. Her hair is definitely poly. it's not the really rough, straw like poly so its manageable 😊

I've also seen that one of the Santa barbies from last year is a Tori.

Tori is so cute. Has mattell ever used her face sculpt for any other dolls?

If not, they should.

Now that I'm a little bit better at doll hair I'm going to try and fix her hair. When I first got her I took down her ponytails to wash her hair.

I thought I could put it back but I was very wrong and made a mess.

I stole the girl's pants, the least I can do is fix her hair 😄

Barbie Looks Tamika reroot.

This was my first time doing curly doll hair. Should have rooted in more hair/a different pattern to make sure her scalp isn't visible, but after some arranging, it turned out okay. She's wearing a Creatable World top, Rainbow High lace overshirt, jeans I made, and Barbie shoes (that I painted a bit).

The hair is saran, and it was curled around pipe cleaners and set with boiling hot water.

Rerooted Looks Tamika hanging out with this Fashionista Grace who's been rebodied on Petite MTM and wearing Rainbow/Shadow High fashions.

Tamika wearing a Creatable World top, Rainbow High lace overshirt, and jeans I sewed.

I'm having an attempt.

First time trying this, decided to experiment since I have a spare Tamika head, she's very pretty but it's low stress because it's not an irreplaceable unavailable head.

Hello I've forgotten how intro posts are made on tumblr (do we even make them here?) but anyway I made a doll sideblog because Instagram always feels like I'm on someone else's social media trying to pretend to be one of the people.

I like articulation and making roomboxes and dioramas and sewing outfits. And polymer clay, but I haven't done that for a while. And miniature knitting, but I haven't done that for a while either.

New girl Tamika (and friends).

[dolligrafik]

I made things. Roll cake and coffee with and without a peppermint cane, from polymer clay. And a new shirt. From fabric.

[dolligrafik]

I think today was the first time this whole year when I did something with polymer clay? But I managed, before running out of December!

For some reason, it took me several years to actually fill those mini coffee/tea cups that I've had for... a while.

Yuletide Midge

[dolligrafik]

well I didn't expect there to be Fursuit Surprise Barbie, even less for Fursuit Surprise Barbie to actually look kinda decent as a playline doll, but hey, life is full of... surprises...
