Fifth Doll - Gorgeous Kylin

I'm so very very excited working on Kylin. This is my favorite kit so far, it's the first real size doll I make, she has the most beautiful face I can't get over it. I can't wait to see her finished. I started at 7.17pm today. And finished doing her skin base at 3.40am!!! I want her to be perfect. She has 1 skin tone base, and additional 3 layers for the subtle mottling effect. I'm happy.

Update on April 3rd, 2009 - She's finished! Woohoo!!!
Well, almost, I'm using temporary eyes, still waiting for new eyes on the mail, and no eyelashes yet. I finished her hair last night, well, early morning actually. I spent 5 days working on her full blonde hair. I took some pictures just for fun, she is not officially 'reborned' yet until she got her new eyes and eyelashes. I'm so in love with her! I've been playing with her all day. It feels so good to hug her. If you're into cute things and especially these baby dolls, you will understand, if you don't understand and think I'm crazy, I'd say: "What the heck are you doing checking doll blog, you freak?!" LOL. Seriously it feels good, it makes me happy. That's why there's 'theraphy dolls', I kinda understand the purpose of those now. I think it works. Without further ado, here's my brand new baby. My sweet Kylin!

Fourth Doll - Missy

Her coloring is done, I'm rooting her hair right now. Been working on her on and off for 3 weeks I think. Will come back with update and photos when she's done.

Update on May 5th, 2009:
Hm.. Not sure if I'll ever get to finish her, I keep getting these new kits that I can't wait to reborn. We'll see. I'll finish her someday. ^__^

Third Doll - Sera (Adopted)

I started Sera a few days ago. I work on her skin for 3 days, taking my time now. Sera is the first other brand that I do. I did 2 Secrist dolls so far. Sera is from Bountiful Baby, she is very soft, and her color is peach. I have to get used to color it, it absorb color easier than Secrist dolls, so I kinda had to add a few more layers to fix the previous that were a bit too strong. I'm pretty happy, I didn't plan this but since I'm not used to the doll kit, she turned to have peaches and cream complexion. I like it, but I found out that I prefer to do a lighter color doll kit like Secrist. If Secrist dolls are not hard, I would love to keep doing them. It's a pain to root those kits. Speaking of rooting, I bought a very good rooting tutorial and my skill is improving so much. Thank you Danielle!

Sera was adopted on March 28th, 2009. She lives in UK now with her new mommy.

Second Doll - Sam (Adopted)

I was too busy to update this past week. My shipment arrived, so I get to finish rooting Sam's hair. I rooted her hair very sparsely. But good news is with the new needles I didn't even bent it. I think this had something to do with the first batch of needles, maybe they were too skinny.

Still having troubles doing it properly tho, I'm so lost. There's a tutorial on Youtube, she basically just sit there and jammed her needles to the doll's head, there's not much tips and tricks, rooting hair is still scary to me. So Sam's hair is okay but I know I need to do something about my rooting skill.

So my friend Elly visited me a couple of days ago and she saw Sam, she started to carry her around and won't put her down. I was thinking "Uh oh, somebody's in love". Yes she did, so she adopted Sam! I can't believe I made a sale already. I was planning to test the market this week and try to sell Sam on Ebay. I'm so happy she was adopted by a friend, I know she will be spoiled rotten by sweet Elly! ^__^ Oh, Elly changed her name to Caroline. Sweet name!
