May & River

Incredibly minor detail here – this pair of EBL babes (Piccadilly Dolly and Asian Butterfly) have had fresh Licca bodies installed. There’s just something about those bendy little limbs!

Astrid

Astrid is a custom RBL factory Blythe doll. Actual factory, from the olden days. Flickr set is here.

Work done: carved philtrum, carved nostrils, carved lips, new makeup using chalk pastels and Mister Super Clear, fancy eyelids, sleep eye modification, new gold glitter pull rings.

Penn

Penn is a custom RBL factory Blythe doll. Actual factory, from the olden days.

Penn received much of the same treatment as Astrid, which is shorthand for I can’t remember exactly what I did, and she lives with my best friend now.

Nameless

A custom fake Blythe doll (let’s be real here – not factory, not “TBL”, but fake – counterfeit – knock off – fake) with a forest green scalp.

No carving, but new makeup, fancy eyechips, and a massive attitude problem. Pretty much completed in the space of an afternoon, because my hands took over and all of a sudden I wanted to try out eyebrows and eyeliner on a Blythe…
