So I have 2 albums now on facebook full (almost) of pics of my dolls. The other day I was flipping through them. I am kinda surprised at how much they've changed. So I've made a time line of it all. I'll start with Oliver since he was the first one I found on the Internet.
The first picture I took of him. Its a little surprising how much of a circle he's done.
In the first outfit I made for him. The pants were HUGE!! I had to practically tie them to him.
He's sorta coming into his current state here. The beanie, t-shirt, and jeans. He didn't have his gloves yet though.
Oh goodness. My first attempt at wigs. In the end this one went to Fiona for quite a while. On a side note, even though I've always loved Oliver's face up, his lips had a weird thing in the middle. My aunt Sherri fixed that for me later on, but when I first took pics of him I always tried to angle his head different to avoid shots like this.
Oh yes. This one. It took me awhile to get the hang of sewing the wigs without bumps. His poor head looks even bigger than it is.
A black wig!! I wanted one of my dolls to have black hair. Fiona is to cute in light tones, and I was still stuck on Anarchy's long purple wig. I liked this wig sometimes. I ended up cutting it weird and it gave him a strange looking hair cut. So I changed wigs after that. On a side note, here his lips have been fixed so I could take straight on pics or looking up pics without any weirdness.
His snazzy phase. I made a nice looking outfit for him and I was addicted to it for awhile. This is not the same black wig in the last photo. But still wanting someone to have black hair I made him a second after messing up the first. Fun fact, this is now Milo's wig.
The black and white wig. Or Cruella Deville. I really liked this wig on him, but at times I didn't like how long it was. He wore this one second longest though.
I don't know why this picture is so small. But you can see in the last blog how he currently looks. He's really the only one that has gone full circle. I liked his original look, and the wig he came with. So that's pretty much were he ended up.
Now to Fiona. I got Oliver and Fiona at the same time, but I found Oliver before Fiona. Fiona is the only one I have bought eyes for also. She came with brown eyes, but they were out the day she arrived and she has worn the blue ones in every picture I have of her.
The first picture of Fiona. ALOT has changed on her. Her clothes, her face up, her wig, even her necklace. Its amazing. I really loved her instantly. She was probably the one I got attached to the fastest. Not that I didn't love all of them very quickly (with the exception of Milo. Poor boy) but I just clicked with Fiona right off the bat. Even though I didn't like alot about her.
My first "hard" outfit. It wasn't a bad outfit, but I think at first I got a little hung up with dresses and such with her. I think it was mostly because of her elf ears. I almost didn't buy her because she has elf ears. I had seen alot of dolls with elf ears and I didn't like how they looked. But in the end I decided that her ears were not big so they could be easily hidden.
The first "normal" outfit I made her. She has the different necklace in this one, I think it suits her a little better. She's worn this one ever since. I like it.
The first wig I made for her. That white one was so beautiful, but it was a static NIGHTMARE!! It was always a mess, hard to brush and keep nice... I just hated it by the time I made their first wigs.
This is the blue wig I originally made for Oliver. I tried to trim it to make his head not so big, but it just made the wig look weird on him. I tried it on her and I liked how it looked. I had to use a bandanna to cover up the messy parts of my "haircut" and to hold it on. Its not until recently that my wigs have fit right and can stay on without hats or bandannas.
I went back to white, because I think she is just so pretty in it. I made a longer white wig, and a new shirt for her. By this point her face up was coming off VERY badly and she had hardly any eyebrows. Her lips were also in a bad state of being chipped and rubbed off.
The first photo shoot with her new face up, courtesy of my aunt Sherri. I just love how she turned out. With the slightly darker colors around her eyes and some eyelashes she stopped giving me the "deer in the headlights" look and I started taking more direct face pics with her.
A wig I borrowed for awhile from my aunt Sherri. I really like the way it looked on her. This is also the first short skirt I made. I really liked the sorta preppy/punky look it gives her.
*sigh* More of my "making Fiona look awkward" moments. I think I have had those the most with her. The long brown wig isn't to bad on her, but the baggy shirt (which was originally Anarchy's) with it... I dunno. Just not the way I wanted her to look. Fun fact: you don't see alot of pics where you can see her hands because when I first got her Kitten chewed one up. Then the fingers broke off. Sherri got me new hands I think right after these pics were taken.
One day I realized that her face against her new hands was kinda yellow. So what do I do? Go on a mad (stupid) rampage that results in her beautiful face getting VERY messed up. Luckily my aunt is once again there to save my dollies from my craziness and fixed her face up, put in new eyelashes, and make her just stunning all over again. I love my aunt Sherri. :)
That last pics is her current face, and this is her current outfit. Yep. She is beautiful, despite my attempts to make her strange and awkward :)
About 2 months after I found them I was on a web site and I found Anarchy. I just loved her dark eye make up, her purple eyeballs, her pointed chin... So I talked to my mom and she bought her for me :) Here is her journey
The first pic I took. When I first got her she had a DollZone body. It made her head look really small. Well not to long after I had her I was talking with my aunt Sherri, who had a doll with a big head that looked like a bobble head on its little body. So we switched their bodies. How's that for horror movie magic :P
With the new body. And when I started putting her in pants instead of punky dresses. She wore this wig for the vast majority of the time I've had her. I've only recently changed it. It wasn't as staticy as Fiona's old white wig, so I didn't have nearly as many problems with it. Plus it fit her head really really well. So for a long time I didn't even think about changing it.
One of the first wig changes I tried to make. I wanted to have a doll with red hair, and even though Anarchy could pull it off easily, it just wasn't her. This is also when she first started wearing her Key choker. I had the keys on a longer necklace for awhile, then put them on a choker instead. I really like the way they look.
Her new and current wig. In shuffling through the bag of fur I had I found the sparkley blue. I had originally gotten it for Fiona but had just never made her a wig with it. So I decided to try with Anarchy. I just loved it. I had a hard time taming it at first, so I put the bandana on her.
With new hair came a want for color in her lips (also done by my aunt Sherri). With new color came the want for new clothes. So I sifted through a bunch of Fiona's old stuff and Oliver's old stuff and came out with this outfit. Even though I liked it, it just didn't seem to feel right.
I went to my cousin Neisha and asked her to put a tattoo on Anarchy. After the tattoo I decided to put Anarchy in halter tops or backless tops now. They seemed to fit her better. I also went back to the pink and black striped bandana, for the first time not out of nessecity, but because I liked it on her.
She had been wearing a pair of Fiona's slip ons, but one fell off. So instead of making her go shoeless or half shoeless I put her old clod hoppers back on. But I thought they looked strange with the pants she was wearing, so I made her new pants that are really really baggy. I like the way they look on her. So this is her most current look.
Almost ever since I got An I was looking for another boy. I found quite a few that I really liked, but never at the right time to get them. Then Bobobie (the doll company that Fiona is from) made a new boy. Well made one of their elf boys with normal ears. I just loved him. So talked to my mommy again (I love my mommy) and she helped me get him.
I had struggles with liking him at first (which I've explained in previous blogs) but I now adore him. I just love the ever loving love out of him. Here is his (really short so far) journey.
The first picture I took. He had practically no eyebrows, and hardly any lips. I was pretty disappointed.
Finding the wig I really liked for him. I half thought about making him a totally new one, but I like black on him, so I altered one of Oliver's wigs for him.
How he looks now!! Isn't his face up just beautiful! Guess who did it. Go on, just guess :) Yep, my aunt saved a very cute doll from all my thoughts of selling him. Woo! I just love his new outfit as well.
Yeah. That's my dolls. Constantly changing. I got Oliver and Fiona on April 8th, so I've had them for just over a year, Anarchy arrived June 9th, so 2 months almost exactly after Oliver and Fiona. And my last boy Milo got here April 19th, just barely over a year after the first 2. I freaking love the ever loving lovedness out of all 4 of them.
Yeah. That's all I wanted to do my blog on for now. How much they have changed. So yeah. Toodles.
