#ever after high repaint

[rachels-dollhouse]

You guys remember the WIP post of that curvy Ever After High body from a while ago? Well, it belonged to none other than Emberlynn Pinkle from 'Helluva Boss'! 🔥

I know she is supposed to be cringe but she is cute, okay? CUTE. 💖

Roughly every month or so, I rotate which dolls I want to display on my dresser. Usually I mix my customs and collection dolls, usually around a common theme or color palette. Today I decided on a whim that I haven't seen all of my completed customs in a long time, and it might be fun to put them all on the shelf together. And hey, I can fit them all!

You're looking at around five years of customs dolls here. Not everyone is here, I've got a few dolls that aren't finished and a couple in need of repairs, but wow, that's still a lot! 27 dolls, all of which taught me so much about technique, design, and myself.

I'm really proud of them. Looking at the collection, yeah, there are some I'm not as happy with, and some that would benefit from a redo or tune up. But there's a lot I still like the look of too. There are several collab dolls in here that taught me some important things about time management, design constraints, and adapting to my materials. There are original characters that I was a perfectionist about and continue to be detail oriented with. I will probably have many more moments like this. XD There are a few dolls that are fandom based, a fun challenge that also taught me the importance of being true to myself and making what I want. There are a few dolls where someone else made their clothes, and I treasure the love that went into combining our art. There's so much color everywhere! And you know what? I love all of them. I'm glad I made them.

Sometimes it's important to take a step back and remember how far you've come. I'm glad I took the time to do that today. What are you proud of in your art journey? I'd love to hear about it! Also, if you have any questions about my dolls, or just wanna geek out, please ask! My askbox is always open. 💜

Ok, so I totally see why Mr Super Clear is the industry standard 4 dolls. This stuff is amazing~!

This is my like, test practice doll~ I wanted to get used to drawing on the vinyl and using the pastels and everything before I started on my first actual doll project :33

So I'm gonna make a list of people who are pretty good resources on learning new things for taking care of and customizing dolls here. Please feel free to send me recommendations.

Great glue seepage infographic made by MisfitDollies on here! It includes a tutorial on taking care of it with goo gone specifically but I have been hearing people are getting better results with oxyclean lately.

A while ago I wanted to get some cool-looking One Piece action figures, but they were way too expensive, so now I have a doll instead. Maybe I'll get some better clothes for her someday.

I hate that some people say that some people are "to old" for dolls. Saying how "you shouldn't be playing with those your to old for them. Those are for kids."

These people don't know that when people like me say 'there literally my everything' or 'there the only thing keeping me going lol' that I mean every word of it. They ARE my everything and they ARE the only thing keeping me going rn.

So don't laugh. Don't judge. Don't say it's "weird". You have no idea how much damage those "toys" saved me from.

Ever After High Blondie Repaint and Rework! I spent a lot of time and effort on this repaint. I cut up her dress and retailored it, added so much gold thread. Also added ribbons and buttons and a crimson under skirt. Restyled the hair, obviously redid the face, painted her accessories.

And I made her a little bear friend! I hope you like her, I put a lot of love into her!!

Several days ago I found my very first doll I bought as an adult. That was the beginning of my doll collection. Back then I wanted to buy a Monster High doll but I missed every single one I really liked. So I ended up with Ever After High Cerise Hood in its basic version. Some time later I thought I'm not fond of that doll to the extent I want to keep it, so I sent it to a friend who was making OOAK dolls. I was very surprised when she sent the doll back to me but it was now completely different. She made a lovely OOAK doll - did the repaint, reroot and even sew the clothes. I really like the new look of that doll. It had a black faux leather jacket but unfortunately the leather started to peel over time and moreover it stained the doll's forearms. I really don't know what to do about those stains, I tried acetone but it didn't work. I suppose I should sew some kind of mittens. Anyway, I'm not gonna get rid of that doll because it reminds me how my collection had started.

These days I have no time to take decent photos so I just took those snapshots on my way home from shopping. That colourful graffiti simply caught my attention, finally some nice art instead of just random scribbles. And since it's spring I took a photo of blooming white lilac.

what the FUCK? i finished a doll custom?? Holy shit it’s been so long.

I designed & started this in June 2020 and have been plinking away ever since. part of that was on me for deliberately doing things the hard way, like hand-sewing that little sunhat just to see if I could.  turns out you CAN, it’s just tedious!

Anyway, she’s finally done!  I may go back in later and make her some custom sunglasses with resin but actually no that is the devil talking. she’s done the end final concept

close-ups & talking about construction in subsequent post

Took a little time to reorganize my doll display. Seeing as Valentine's Day is coming up, I brought out most of my pink and red dolls! It was nice to have Rainbow High come back out. They don't fit in with most of my other dolls, so I rarely display them, but they can be very cute. It's also the first time the Mermaze dolls are up, since they're rather hard to display (they fall over a lot). Of course I had to have a Draculaura out, given her birthday is coming up, so I picked my favorite from G3. It's been a while since Bonita Femur has been out, once again tough to display since those wings don't accommodate a doll stand, but I love her. She's so interesting as a doll! All the Sugarcoated EAH girls are here, nice to see them again after a little hair washing. And Lizzie, Queen of Hearts should be here for the holiday no? XD I really need to finish repairing my Way Too Wonderland dolls and Just Sweet Blondie, one day they will be less gluey so they can be displayed again!

That said, I'm probably most excited to have this girl back out, my beloved Jacy Masters. 💜 I know, a strange doll to have as a favorite, but look at her! She's so cute, and she's one of the first times I picked up a doll and said "she feels like me". Body diversity can be really meaningful, and her style is so fun! I'll be really curious to have her and G3 Catty Noir next to each other when she comes out, I wanna see if it's the same mold or slightly modified. My speculation is that they started with Jacy's body and tweaked it from there, since new body molds are expensive to make, but we'll have to see. Overall, I'm just happy to have my dresser looking nice again.

So I'm seeing stuff about a new hair fiber called Synatra, and I know nothing about it or it's quality but I would love to be enlightened if anyo6is familiar. I could only really find a reddit post asking for advice and saying it was like a mix between Saran and kanekelon. Otherwise, there is not a ton of texture opinion or how it holds to styling, color, or anything.

Actually I'm super happy with how this face turned out. I can't really sew so I threw together a dress by gluing and sparsely stitching some of my random fabric together. All in all she turned out cute. 😅
