Selling Skirts too.

I'm also selling skirts HERE. I only have three of these though since I had less fabric left in the quarter I was working with from older prototypes i made. They fit both Ever after and Monster high dolls.

Madison Fear: Leg paint

First up in some over due posts I was working on Madison Fear a fair bit.

The gorgon legs came and all I had to do was remove Cleo's legs, paint the legs, then string them.

Since the Cleo I'm modifying is a newer one, with the legs held by plastic, I had to break them off. There was still some plastic so I drilled a hole through the joint space for stringing later.

Next up was paint. After some online digging Krylon seemed to be the best option. Ignore that glitter one though. Thanks to that thing I have to repaint the legs again still. Live and learn. I also decided to add a lil paint to the body as well for a fade effect, but we'll see that next post.

Here are the legs painted in their light blue glory. Even with needing the touch up I love the color and it matches pretty close to Madison's color. Just wish the sparkle paint would have worked out for added effect. Oh well.

Figured I'd include a sort of mini craft. I was lookin at paper in walmart last night and I saw these road sign stickers for scrap books but I figured "why not make them into doll room signs". You know like found things decor. I only needed to use a few things too.

Said stickers and something firm for them to be on. In my case it was these cards from work that stopped being relevant four days ago. Cardstock is it a cood substitute since that is what the cards are made of after all.

And of course an exacto knife since the corners and curves can be rather sharp on their own. I accidentally tore a part of the vista sign with cutting it with scissors so a tiny knife is reccommended. Ifyou're a kid doing this please get an adult to cut for you. I have a scar on my finger where I gave myself a good cut at the knuckle to attest to how bad an idea it is to do it on your own (I'm not as careful a person as I should be sadly)

Anyhow moving on, first step is to take a sticker and plaster it to the cutting material on a hard surface. Make sure to ask before doing it on moms kitchen table though... Next step is just cutting it out!

(Only doing it one handed for the pic. Not a good idea to do it one handed, needs both!)

And viola! A nice little sign for a toy inn or just above a doll's bed. I just like the idea of signs in decor so I wanted to share. TTFN

Well I finished the bed but it didn't really turn out like I was hoping it would.

Came to regret using wood patterned contact paper. I though it would stick buuuuut it didn't very well. The top one is just where I gave up trying to cover the edges of the cartboard with it and left it bare.

The bedding fits though so I can't really complain. I'll probably try again later with patterned paper instead.  And more cardboard since it's a little too wobbly.... TTFN
