I'm still working on my custom project, but I got commissioned to do a reroot on this Elissabat doll!

The hair is Blackout and Ultra Violet from The Doll Planet.

I live!

I've been spending the last few months rerooting some of my Skulltimate Secrets dolls.

Frankie (Snowflake and Black Magick from DollyHair and Deja Blue from The Doll Planet) has a headband that fits now lol.

Clawdeen (Ultraviolet from DollyHair and Purple Rasberry from The Doll Planet) I hand-braided, which took up most of the time (I know pre-braided doll hair exists, I just didn't feel like it).

And Draculaura (Cerise and Brandywine from ShimmerLocks) has hair that lays a bit more flat now.

I'm really happy with them, but I've also got a more full custom that I'm excited to get started with.

Oh these all look really nice! What did you steal Clawdeen's braids with?

Edit: SEAL. seal.....

Ty! I think I mainly just curled the ends and used a little bit of hairspray. It might not last as long as other methods, but it's worked fine so far with some of my other dolls.

Been a minute, but another quick project to fill in the gaps. Restyled my g3 Cupid's hair!

It honestly just needed a bit more volume and shape to be good and now I 100% love this doll.

[misplaced-dolls]

Bits and pieces and bits and pieces 🙃

These have taken me longer than I had hoped so they're not done, but here's part of the massive project I'm working on!

Reblogging to add the (mostly) finished outfits so that there's some actual doll content.

Recent update (from when this was scheduled) is this Poison Ivy partial custom. I almost didn't buy this Ivy because her original outfit just didn't look great imo. But I couldn't get Harley and not get Ivy, so I decided to try and make her outfit one that I'd like better.

My main problems were the patterned fabric, how loose the gloves were, and the fact that her boots were unpainted even though Harley's were. It's not a huge difference, but I didn't feel like the design matched Harley before. As an aside, the new fabric always shows up darker in photos and I can't get the lighting or color balance right to fix that. In person, it is much closer to the leaves around her eyes.

This was a huge "trust the process" kind of doll and I do think it paid off, personally.

And with this custom Garden Mysteries Venus, we're all caught up (theoretically, anyway. I scheduled these posts in advance lol). Another doll that I loved the concept of, but I kinda despised that they gave her zero hair texture. I didn't trust the poly hair, so I completely rerooted her head (bought nylon from dollyhair.com) and then curled and styled it and I love her so much more now.

[misplaced-dolls]

The second small project was this Dream Besties doll. I liked the base doll, but her shirt wasn't my favorite, so I gave her a new one and also switched up her hair a bit because I'm a sucker for space buns lol. Then I just painted her nails and picked out details on her shoes.

13 Wishes Draculaura restoration marks my start of doing smaller projects because I'm currently procrastinating on a massive project that's taken me more than a year lol. I got this Draculaura secondhand on Facebook and she'd had her hair cut short. I rerooted her entire head with hair from dollyhair.com and The Doll Planet, sourced her missing accessories, and generally cleaned her up.
