Blaise
Base doll: SBL Mademoiselle Rosebud.
Work done: mohair reroot using the locked loop method, new chips and lashes, Licca body swap, sanded face, a bajillion face repaints over the years. You can read the diary I kept when I was working on her here. 2005 was a long time ago!

Elvie
Base doll: EBL Love Mission.

Maria
Base doll: SBL Velvet Minuet.
Work done: sand matted, new chips, new lashes, new makeup.

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!

Leemoo
Base doll: RBL Simply Guava
Leemoo has had a spray matte with Mister Super Clear, and four new sets of eyechips.
Not Mine / Long Gone…

Audrey
Audrey was my first (and last!) saran reroot. No thank you.

Work done: saran reroot using locked loop method in nitro lime and glow in the dark, new eyechips, Licca body swap, sanded face and new makeup.

Maisy Mocha
Maisy Mocha is a rescued ADG Blythe custom for my friend Deb. Blog posts with more details and pics here and here.
Work done: corrected philtrum carving, removal of old makeup, new chalk pastel makeup and lips, Mister Super Clear sealing and gloss to lips, new side glancing glitter eyechips, new lashes, eyelid shadow, and slight mech adjustment from where it was sticking.

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…
