The Liv Thread! [pic heavy]

[Taxel]

Aellos - That definitely makes sense. I might have to try and nab that wig one day.

Luvly - Yes, have a ginger Liv! Poor Kellan needs a big sis!

A few days back I decided to take some photos by a lamp I'd been meaning to try out. Its not the best and there's no way to hide the clutter next to it, so it didn't really work out well.

Taxel which Liv is that? I just got her yesterday in a bag from a charity shop with a couple of wigs. And is that her original cardy? The one I got yesterday didn't have the cardy but a few weeks ago I received a doll and a few bits, one of which was that cardy...

That's original Katie in her stock. :3 She also came with two wigs (brown ponytails and a short brown one with green streaks), blue and white sneakers, a blue beanie, a pink scarf, a blue bag, a blue watch, and a wig holder head thing.

I LOVE that green sweatshirt!  I don't know what it is about green.......  Those pictures make the texture look amazing!  Looks nice and soft:)

Cool, thank you Looks like I have her almost complete then - she has both wigs (although the ponytail one was a rats nest so I brushed it out) blue head thing, jewelry, not the beanie, scarf of bag though.

I kind of wanted to customise her a little...is she sought after or can I hack away?

[Taxel]

grzankitter - Isn't it lovely? I adore that sweater!

Pinkamena - I'm not sure how sought after she is, but I'd say you should be fine customizing her. Though I'm biased because I really dislike her eye makeup. xD I've had a rough time dealing with my girl's. I've even got a spare original Katie head I plan to have customized. At least I think I do? I can't check right now.

But since she's original, her head is MUCH harder than other Liv heads. It'll most likely be a pain to get her head off and take out her eyes (as well as re-inserting eyes through the front), but its definitely doable. Just might involve colorful language and frustration. xD

That'll be one to give to my OH to hack up then Thanks for he info

Do you know where I can get 10mm round eyes from? I cannot for the life of my find any in the UK, all the ones in the US have extortionate shipping. Or are the oval eyes OK to fit if you totally remove the rubber that holds them in place? I'm thinking of just painting over her eyes rather than get the ones I wanted. Will probably look kack though.

[Taxel]

I'm not actually sure where to get eyes. Have you tried eBay and Etsy? I've seen tons of eyes on those sites. Any type of eye big enough to cover the whole eye hole should be fine if you remove the "skin", I imagine. But I haven't been able to buy some eyes and try it myself.

But as a warning, do NOT use hot glue to secure Liv eyes after removing the eye skin. It doesn't really come off and I basically ruined an eye trying that. >.< I don't know if the same problem exists for other types of eyes.

[Gingerbread]

The shipping for loads of eyes is extortionate I haven't tried Etsy yet, will have a look

Thanks for the heads up about the hot glue - that is the first thing I would have tried! Oh and I have started a new thread of two girls that just...stayed...if you fancy a peek

[aellos]

I need to feel better so I can get better pics of my girls. I have my trio.

[Gingerbread]

Can anyone tell me please what other makes of shoe fit Liv dolls? I can find very little info online *grumbles* I understand Barbie Fashionista and Stardoll shoes fit, as do MH, but what else? Normal Barbie fashion pack shoes? We have loads of those packs here, the clothes fit great.

[LuvlyMelody]

Other than those 3, I'm not too sure. As for normal barbie shoes, I don't think they would fit Livs because if I can remember, I read that they have smaller feet compared to Livs.

As for the eyes, taking out and putting them back in is good enough because the eye socket is secure and holds when it cools down from the heat. As to where to get them, I have no clue.

[Taxel]

I don't know about anything Barbie, but I know Liv shoes fit Tangkous so Tangkou shoes might fit Livs? I can try later. :3

[Gingerbread]

That would be great, thank you
