Blythe photos + discussion thread :3

I am so paranoid about taking commissions, both because I'm afraid I won't do well enough for my commissioner and afraid I'll fall in love with the doll while working on it.

She looks great!  I LOVE those chips!

[Skitterbug]

Lol, everyone loves those eyechips! They are just coolcat chips with the pupils painted on and some laser paper behind them... nothing overly fancy!

She looks great for your first carving job.

[Skitterbug]

Thanks! it means a lot that you all like her. I... may have two more factory girls on the way to customize. This is so much fun!!

[Vertefae]

I'm so glad you're enjoying yourself Customizing Blythes has always been super relaxing for me.

**************

I have a soft spot for rescue dolls. The beaten up, the so loved that they're falling apart are my favorite type of girls. Thats why I've always been drawn to Kenners. Of course with a 14 month old toddler Kenners are so far out of the price range it's not even funny. And I've had the worst luck with dolls and the mail lately. However, I took a chance on a rescue Blythe. She's been in and out of the blythe community for years. No one knows who her original customizer was. But whoever it was they carved a hole straight through her mouth! Now she's an early Blythe (an EBL I believe) so this was no mean feat. They also snapped her dome right off her back plate!

Well at some point she went to PixiePoo for a repair and Ruby Gloom was born. Her mommy was selling all her blythes and leaving the hobby this summer and poor Ruby was the last to be listed. No one seemed to interested in her, everyone knew she wasn't shiny and perfect. I was smitten. Amazingly enough even with her issues the price was so low I was almost positive she had forgotten a number on the front. I only paid $65 for this darling sweetheart.

So please meet my Ruby Gloom

She is proof that no doll is worth giving up on as long as you're willing to give them a little love.

She's PRECIOUS!

[Vertefae]

Thanks Barbgirl She has a little work to be done. New eyechips (those are the only I like) and her head needs to be stabilized on her neck better

[TwistedRiver]

I think she is adorable! And yeah, she's definitely proof that NO doll is worth giving up on.

[Vertefae]

I was able to stabilize her neck. And wow getting into her head. That poor girl. i knew the hole was bad, but the mess inside was just sad to see.

[Skitterbug]

Yaaay my new girl got here today! I'm customizing her for myself... Not sure what I'm going to do specifically yet, but I love her already!
