Frida …Trendon Sasha

 Sadly this poor girl had hair fall ..so she had to be wigged 

I was asked for a Frida Sasha …I wanted to capture the iconic look of Frida

Florrie

 Before these are her auction photos and her face , with the paint removed and her wig removed 




I decided to wash and condition her wig , and enhance her face with watercolours …the wig came up beautiful 







One bunny remaining 🐰

 I should be thinking of making shoes …but already planning more teddy’s and rabbits and 

I really want to do an Elephant ❤️

Across the top of my blog , you can click on the page for details and prices x


Little Miss Grace has her locks

She is smiling I’m sure ..little Grace has her hair 
I bought her as an  Armand Marseille

But she could be a Kessner ..trying to find her age and saw a photo of a Kessner that’s was identical to Grace 

She now deserves a beautiful outfit ..although her little crochet dress looks nicer now she has a bow ❤️
 

Grace gets a little clean



Grace cleaned up beautiful with a soft toothbrush and a little swarfega .The glue came off her head really easy , her old hair ..to be ho eat there wasn’t much , so I stuffed it inside her head , I’ve bought a beautiful strawberry blonde mohair , I want to give her a short shoulder length look ,.I touched her paintwork up on her face and boots ..complimenting the colours that were left , not painting over them ,with watercolours and Matt sealed them ,
Next I will make her hair , I curled some hair on some knitting needles and dunked them in hot water …it’s been years since I’ve done this…I used to do the dollhouse dolls hair this way 
Next when they are dry I will carefull add the hair
