Meritus Dolls

Submitted by Little Raven on Sun, 2016-12-25 23:21

Meritus Industries, popular in the 1980s for their version of the Ginny doll line, sold a number of 18" dolls under various collections during the 1990s. Some of their more prodigious were the Elite/ LIfetime Dolls and Girls on the Go collections. In late 1999 they merged with DSI Toys and sold Disney Sweethearts dolls before closing up shop in 2003.

Tonner Maudlynne Macabre Review

Submitted by Little Raven on Sun, 2016-12-04 15:34

I saw her on the Tonner website a while back and could've just died. --which would fit right in with the Maudlynn Macabre theme. She's macabre. And I do mean that in the nicest way. [node:read-more:link]

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. . .

Fant'sy Imagination

With the Fant'sy thing done and out of the way, I was glad to have a day or two to take off and meanwhile clean up my desktop.

Fant'sy Pirate

Submitted by Little Raven on Tue, 2016-10-04 09:31

Here's the pirate version of the Fant'sy Frock dress--I'm pretty happy with it!

This dress is pretty awesome because it can easily change themes--with a few fabric and minor detail switches--from a witch, to a pirate, to a princess, to Steampunk look, etc. I plan on making a version of all of these to showcase the versatility of this design.

LRC Fantsy Frock Progress

Submitted by Little Raven on Fri, 2016-09-23 20:35

I have it where I want it, mostly. Or all really. I might adjust the sweetheart neckline, maybe, but overall I like where it has gone. I'm working on the pattern instruction booklet now, wondering if I'll be able to add the steampunk vest to the pack, but trying to get the pattern on my Etsy asap.

Tonner My Imagination Deluxe Basic Review

Submitted by Little Raven on Wed, 2016-09-14 21:25

The wait is finally over; she's here: Tonner's My Imagination Deluxe Basic 18" Doll!

The release of the Deluxe Basic dolls trailed the My Imagination Starter dolls by about half a year, so to see them going out at last is a welcome sight.

Fancy

Submitted by Little Raven on Fri, 2016-09-09 22:47

Fant'sy Frock testing: now that I got it together in the actual fabric, I'm thinking it needs adjustments. Go figure, I can't always see it until I reach this stage.

So I'm not 100% sure about the sheer hi-low train thingy. Maybe in the main fabric it will work better. But it's got something. . .

Embroidery floss as a temporary laceup, didn't have the right cording.
