#1:6th scale

[capsensislagamoprh]

I finally finished my project. It’s one of the most ambitious rooms to order I have ever done. How ambitious? Get ready for some B roll (cause my camera skills still suck.)

A whole bedroom.

Right side?

Left!

What’s that? Details and close-ups? Oh, you better believe it!

I fixed her very knotted hair. I took care of some pain mess-ups. I added a touch of high-tail (which I love) to give her that lovely teen-collage look. The commissioner asked for the room to match the doll color (which is purple/pink) but not to make it all one color. He was involved with every step. Even the accessories.

Love this. Love it so much.

Such lovely details. Make up, toys. Everything a Jr. High student might be getting into, and already knows.

Yes. That light works. Sadly, the headset does not fit, but it’s a nice touch.

Look how it adds ambiance to the scene. Now, on to wardrobe! Remember that rainbow wall? Well guess what? SECRET CLOSET! (There are surprise mini toys in that gamer bag!) Currently, she’s in her work out gear. With custom peridot earrings made Just for this doll.

I was supposed to make a swimsuit, but honestly? That’s both very hard and a little basic. I understand the child this is for is a little more on the edge for clothes. So we have this. An old-fashioned swimsuit, with a modern edge. The straps cross in the back, then snap in front. There are lace-up sides to add excitement and fit.

This is a summer outfit. Shorts, T-shirt, socks, and some shoes I had to boil to fit the doll. But man! What an outfit. I didn’t make the shoes, but I made the rest, and I am kinda proud of myself.

A couple of detail shots.

A winter outfit? Any chance to make a warm sweater! Oh, and some jeans, socks, and another set of re-fitted shoes. I didn’t make the shoes.

Some details. Socks! Knit! So warm and fluffy.

Pajamas! I had such a hard time picking the fabric for this. Fortunately, the commissioner said: I like this! And wham! Decision made! So happy he picked this one. It’s so perfect!

These are the Real Littles shoes that the commissioner picked out. He picked out others, but when fitting them to the dolls, the souls came off, so... Guess I have some shoe parts to work with now!

Windows? One look? Oh No, no, no. No! Four seasons!

Computer has a changeable screen as well.

How many did I make? Well...

You can see the window slides here too.

More details? Okay! Each of these bags has doll sized toys, and snacks. Even the boxes. This way, the recipient can have the fun of the Holiday with their new doll.

Even more details! Yes, all the posters are moveable, in case they want to put them in other arrangements.

And yes, it does still fold up into that small bag space. With room to spare.

And yes, I can still pick it up and hold it with two fingers. So, it’s light enough for a child to carry. I did add a tie, just in case someone is rough with it.

So, we have a whole room with custom furniture and interchangeable parts, four outfits, a hair doo, gifts, and all the details. Happy holidays to you all.

Aiight all. I finished bag room 1 of... whatever. Time to look at some very bad photography! Here is the outside.

Again, easy to lift with one hand, but it’s very tall, so maybe you’d have to carry it for your young one... or yourself. *wraggles brows*

Simple lock and tie mechanism. Pull the ribbon over, tie a half bow. So easy. Opens and closes like a dream.

See? The tab. Also, I kinda like the purple trim. I was on the fence about it, but yeah. Good.

I’m telling you, the HARDEST PART is the eyes. How the ever loving flippin ponies do people make it look so easy?! Anyway, fancy sitting room.

Okay, the doll is not the best. The body is cheap. The eye face up is not the best. But the outfit is not bad, imho. Belt is its own piece. The robe has belt loops. The slip night gown is beaded. Shoes are custom. Underpants can fit many types of dolls.

I will give the body this. It’s very articulated.

I hope to some day get better at the face up and hair thing. Re-rooting is long, but it is quality. Styling is harder, though.

Blurry. My carpet is scratchy. I need to shampoo it. Also, yes, that is a glowing fire place with changeable batteries. You can have a fire. You can not have a fire. Your choice.

What’s it look like when it’s not lit up? Like that. I painted it, but it is an insert, so you can pull it completely out if you like.

Now, window... I’m pretty good at windows. Here’s the permanent image.

Changeable image one:

You know. For verity. Here’s an image of everything that comes with this set.

And yes, there is plenty of room for everything in the bag. You can also move the pictures around if you like. There are two books that move and open so as to be interactive props.

And. There is ONE surprise for the new owner hidden in the set. IF you want a doll room, let me know. It’s for sale. I’m already working on the project for 15 - 28 of Jan. Again. Check the safety on your blades. It can really throw off your schedule.

I may have done a thing.

It’s something. I’m considering tights or two more ruffle layers. I’m not sure.

I mean, when she sits, she gets reverse Duce’s Booty issues. You can see why:

Which one should I do?

[capsensislagamoprh]

What the ever loving hamsters is this?! Done with a bag room early? The audacity! Second bag-room of the year. It’s not as tall as the first, still 1:6th scale though, with plenty of headroom for photography. A simple stone finish for a secondary backdrop. Add photos, posters, whatever you like, and make each side a whole new thing! You have da powah!

Look! Still liftable! Super light. Kid can carry it themselves, if you let them. See that floor clearance? That’s on one finger, and I’m da weak.

When the ties are open, you can use them as soft touches at the edge of the photo, like a curtain, you can tuck them back, you can... options!

And when it’s opened? Look! An alcove! ‘Stained-glass’! Gold accented paper! ‘Hard wood’ floor! You can do a lot with a room like this.

Here’s an included option. The picture frames have glass, interchangeable picture and ‘doctorates’. Silent butler (coat rack), side table (drawer opens), planter, table, chair, and more!

Better look at the ‘diploma’ and the picture. Plant on the table, magazines to read, and a faux leather chair to read in.

This is the included doll. Custom face up, custom outfit, shoes she can stand in *without* a doll stand... I am so happy with this.

The doll is on a ‘ballet Barbie’ body. Not as much articulation as a Made to Move, but you work with what you got. Made a cell phone for the doll as well.

The hands are really good at holding things. I also love that ‘country’ hair.

Okay, look, I get a lot of junk mail. When I can use a part of it for dolls, I will. So this doll comes with a ‘credit card’. Because, she’s got that clout.

So much clout, she’s gonna head out into the world for a little shopping and some brunch.

Here are some detail shots of what comes with this bag-room. Things in the bag: make up, pencil, notebook, cell phone, wallet, credit card, sunglasses, and two earring backs. Magazines? Eight of them. You can see that each one opens, having old style adds inside, so that they give ‘reading’ vibes as your doll looks through them. The shoes. Accented in gold stars and rose details. They are made to allow the doll to stand on her own two feet. Just a little finagling to balance the doll and wham-o! No stand needed. The necklace closes in the back with a simple hook mechanism. I think it’s lovely. Those earrings? That’s why the backs are in the bag. You can wear them. This doll wears human earrings, so they are sharable.

Window time! Stained-glass effect! First insert. Sun rise! Second: Evening. Third: Dawn. The winter scene is a permeant background. Really shows off the glass lines.

A better look at the custom face up. I’m not the best with hair, but I still think it’s not that bad, you know?

Everything that comes with this set.

And yes, as always, it can fit into the closed bag, with room to spare.

February is the next bag-room. I wonder what I’ll make. If you want this one, let me know.

So I got a doll for my birthday. YES! SCORE.

This one.

It’s more lilac in skin and pink in hair than this image. More like the art. I took her out of box, found a bunch of defects, and her hair was poorly rooted. So I decided to... fix it. SUFFAH!  Here she is right after re-rooting and most the defects fixed.

Then I stole some of Barbie’s clothes, cause barbie shares, and the Sunny shoes I got from a surprise box.

From the back. I am considering cutting the hair and styling it. I’m not sure yet. I like the way she looks with this re-root, which was just me taking left over blue and purple hair, stuffing poorly filled plugs, making ones where there were huge gaps, and filling in those too.

It’s a little ratty at the end, so I am strongly considering. You guys have any ideas? From the front. I also renamed her Heather. I love her.

While waiting for some tough up on the 50/50, I have been using scraps to make some doll things. As you do. Now I need opinions.

This is the dress.

I am considering if I should decorate the waist band or no. The first option is rose bud ribbon.

The first option is rose bud ribbon.

I could also decorate it with gems, flowers, and metal.

Options are plentiful.

What do I use, if anything at all?

Thoughts?
