Back!

Submitted by Little Raven on Thu, 2017-07-27 17:46

After a month away, hmm maybe two, I'm back with some new, upcoming posts, including more AG Friends, Doll Rescues, and Two Random Dolls.

So I had a few things I needed to square away, plus I took a little bit of time off to learn how to animate and also do some writing. I'm kind of one of those jack-of-all-trades people, master at none.

Classic School Girl Dress

Submitted by Little Raven on Tue, 2017-03-14 00:25

The Classic School Girl pattern is out and up on Etsy! It took a couple extra days of work than I thought, and I had to make a last minute name change, as Vintage School Girl was too close to a few other 18 Inch pattern titles. But I'm good; classic works and it was one of my alternate working names. [node:read-more:link]

Almost Here

After a year+ (and several other patterns) I'll finally be putting up the Vintage School Girl pattern on my Etsy shop. It's the first pattern I ever created, but one I never published. [node:read-more:link]

Classic School Girl

Submitted by Little Raven on Mon, 2017-03-06 08:24

So I've been diligently working on getting my Vintage School Girl pattern up on Etsy this week. I love this little dress, inspired by a school outfit I found in an old photo from the 1920s. But it's interesting that it also resembles classic one-piece school girl dresses from the 50s, 60s, and 70s and even 80s. [node:read-more:link]

First-Borns Part II

Submitted by Little Raven on Thu, 2017-01-19 21:56

Onto Part II of my First-Borns Project. (Again apologies for poor lighting. I had zero% natural sunlight as the skies rained for days!)

So I had fairly good success with my first two First-Borns, English Boy and Punkin Princess (for lack of better names). So I grabbed another four blank heads and got to work on them. [node:read-more:link]

First-Born Customs Part I

Submitted by Little Raven on Thu, 2017-01-12 23:47

Here's what been occupying me for the last couple of weeks: I had a whole lot of blank doll heads that needed some love and they weren't going away. Previously I had been focusing on cleaning up and restoring some TLC dolls I had picked up on eBay, listing them, selling, and trying to create some working space for myself!

Style Girl

Submitted by Little Raven on Sat, 2016-12-31 17:15

I had a goal to get two more AG Friends posts up before the end of the year. I don't think I'm going to make it--the skies are so dark with pouring rain, I've got no good natural light for photos. (Being that I live in California I'm not going to complain!)

But I did run out to Big Lots to grab a Style Girls doll for my New Adventures post and I'm so liking her for the price. . .

Back from November

. . .which was a chaotic month wow. After participating in Nanowrimo again this year (and winning!) I'm back to LRC, working on a new, not-so-new doll review. [node:read-more:link]

Learning the Faces

Submitted by Little Raven on Fri, 2016-10-21 20:51

I've never really been adept at all the My Twinn face sculpts, and I'm always in awe of the My Twinn fans who can instantly identify any of the many 23" dolls on sight. It's possible I just never took the time to learn them, but with the exception of a few that stood out to me like Danielle and Madison and Kate (or Caitie) they have always been a bit of a mystery to me. . .
