When I started collecting dolls seriously, I collected all ethnic varieties. As I went along and started thinning my growing collection I sold off most of my beautiful Adeles.

Is this amazing or what? Erica did the microbraids. It's hard to believe that this is the same doll called Traveler by Nature! She is my new favorite Veronique.

11-29-06 Messing with Dolls

Good dolly day today. I flocked two of the Pompadours that have been waiting for hair. I worked on their lips, too. And I used the modeling material to fill in one of bucky's smiles. (Monsieur Z doll) This will be a test subject. I worked on her eyes and enhanced them as well. Then I painted the lips. I don't have a picture yet. The hole in Erin's nose is now filled in as well. The collection needs lots of work but I'm afraid that I will ruin something so I will just stick to fixing up the less valuable dolls.
The boards have been a little slow this past week. Or perhaps I am looking for too much. Spending too much time at the computer has been a problem for a long time. The time I spent in my studio painting and crafting was very pleasant, indeed. No computer, no television. I do need magnifying eyeglasses. My regular glasses are not strong enough for fine work.
