Monster High Reroot
This is a Monster High reroot using fantasy dyed goat hair! The hair had a beautiful consistency. I sourced it from a Russian seller on etsy hairfordolls.

Blythe helmet knitting pattern
This is another pattern that came about because I don't want to learn to crochet. All of the beautiful Blythe helmets I see online appear to be crocheted. Necessity is the mother of invention so here is a free pattern for a knitted version of a basic Blythe helmet... 
Blythe Button Eye chips
Yes. Just like Coraline
DIY Anthro Dolls
I love my Blythe dolls, but variety is the spice of life. I looked into buying my ladies some animalistic friends but WOW those Wonderfrogs, Hujoo dolls and similar are difficult to find in the UK and pricey! Ouch!! I'd rather put that money and effort towards my next dolly purchase. The solution, as the title suggests, is DIY.

Blythe raglan dress sewing pattern (Free Pattern)
A few years ago I modified some existing patterns into a Blythe raglan dress pattern. I used it a batch of times and then forgot about it. It's been languishing in a pile of human sized patterns until rescued in a recent clear out. This dress is unlined and features raglan sleeves and a cowl neckline. As with previous Blythe patterns it should fit both the standard factory body, a licca body and/or a flection pure neemo XS. Photographs below are shown on a flection pure neemo XS. 
Paperclay Doll Complete
Yes she is finished. Yes, she does look this creepy in real life. Well, actually, in real life, she looks even creepier.
Blythe Faceup
Finally I have learned to do a Blythe faceup. This was my second attempt. The first ended up looking ... kind of mehh... so I decided to take things much slower this time. Going slowly made a huge difference. Watching this youTube video by Gisele Bianchini was also very helpful. It helped that if anything went wrong with adding the colour I was able to sand it all off in a few seconds. These are the tools I've used:

Easy DIY Blythe stand from coaster
Make your very own easy DIY "stick it up your jumper" Blythe stand.
I have a mix of Blythe and Blythe clone dolls. Not all of them came with stands. Therefore I looked into making my own. The simplest solution I came across was the "stick it up your jumper" approach. Literally. You use a wooden dowel and stick it up the back of the jumper or dress the doll is wearing. The bottom of the dowel needs to be stuck in something to keep it stable for this to work. I currently have 4 dolls. I spotted a packet of 4 wooden coasters in my local T.K. Maxx (aka T.J. Maxx to those in the US or Winners if your in Canada). Serendipity fueled inspiration. Instructions below for how to make your very own easy DIY Blythe stand.
Blythe Custom Faceplate
I recently received a purchased a custom faceplate from Soyrina in Spain on eBay. I have almost enough spare body parts lying around to make myself a 4th Blythe/Blythe Clone.…
