2 New full body silicone prototypes, Finn and Faye by Lilianne!

Wasn't just yesterday the first of October???  And here it is, almost Thanksgiving already.  

I am not thankful for how quickly time flies!

But I AM thankful for these two totally adorable full body prototypes, 
Finn and Faye by Lilianne Breedveld.

Here they are in their blank state:

Faye and Finn:



Prototype Finn is already sold to the best mommy; he will be so spoiled.

Prototype Faye will be available for adoption once she is complete, probably late December to mid January.  

Blank kits of these gorgeous "babies" can be ordered directly from Lilianne Breedveld's email:

To my US friends, Happy Thanksgiving!

New baby boy in the studio!

So...again, "I don't do customs/commissions", but sometimes I do!

One of the reasons I "don't" is because of unclarified customer communication.

I started a biracial "Tavi" by Marita Winters.  I did one of the prototypes of Tavi several years ago (like 5-6 years ago).  My customer who I agreed to do a commissioned doll of Tavi, said she wanted it like that prototype, "but lighter".  

The original Tavi prototype:


And as a girl.  Then she asked that the tone be like Tavi as he was golden like her daughter.  

The conversations went on like this for days...every 6-8 hours, 24/7.

It fully wrecked my concentration and drive for this baby, and I just lost where I was and got the tone too dark, too red...so not what I was working for, but then again, I was not sure what I was working for!

I contacted my customer and told her that this baby did not turn out how we were hoping and that I needed to start over.  

It was then that I realized that what she REALLY wanted was a portrait doll of her real baby girl.  
She didn't want to ask because "I don't do custom orders" and she thought that a portrait was a custom order.  Any doll that I make that I did not initiate is a custom order.  She knows that now.  

Things are going very well with our communication now and her baby is turning out so well!

In the meantime, while I waited for the new Tavi kit to arrive so I could start over, I finished this little man with painted hair as I did not have time to root him,

Meet Taurean, an African American name for "reclusive and quiet".  
He IS up for adoption on my WEBSITE (CLICK HERE)
















Isn't he sweet??
He is ready to find his new home!

Portland, Oregon Crossroads doll show!

Sweet Pickles and I will BEE traveling to the Portland, Oregon Doll show this weekend!


I didn't think I was going to be able to attend this fall's 
in Portland, Oregon but things have worked out that I can!

I will just be going as a collector (I won't be showing) and am very excited for the break in every day life!

I walked into the Dolly House to see just which baby I would take.  I wanted someone who had not attended a show with me or traveled with me before.  Sweet Pickles said she was the one!  

She's dressed in a unisex outfit for the day ride in the car but she does clean up very girly when he mama dresses her correctly.


Just as I was leaving the Dolly House, Michael said that HE wanted to go too!


Sadly, I told him that he will have to wait for another show.  It was too late in the evening to even think about what clothing and accessories to take for him, but yes, probably the next show, Michael will get to go!

Look for me and Sweet Pickles if you are attending the show too!
