A couple of months ago I received a LTF doll body from a split order. I could not believe how it was sent to me! I posted a video of my experience and response – there’s also a really cute dolly at the end! 😆

Meet Our Models – Gretta
Name:Â Gretta
Mold/Company: Volks SD10 Mimi
Size:Â SD10
Age:Â Late teens / Early 20s
Gender: Female
Usual Wig Color: Brown/Black
Usual Eye Color:Â Everpurple 039 (picture shows blue with white line glass eyes)
Additional Info: Gretta can be found modelling clothes for SD girls and wigs in size 9/10. She currently has a mostly default Volks face up from back in the day. When I received her head from her previous owner, she had no lip color (not sure why but….yeah), so her lips are currently the only non-default part of her face up. I’ve been itching to redo her since I got her, but real life seems to always get in the way. Hopefully it will change soon!
Face-up Fun
I forgot how much I like doing face ups! I was able to finish a few over the past week or so and I can honestly say, I think I want to get back to doing them on a more regular basis <3
I did a face up on a friend’s Dollshe boy (Ebony Bernard). His lips came out super shiny which makes him look über feminine. But his owner loves him so I left it. If I get the chance, I may do a quick spray of ZM spray to lessen the shine.
The same owner also had me do a face-up on his relatively obscure RML 01. Real Missing Link dolls are pretty hard to find now, but I love them! Love this guy!
I was also able to finish up my modded ResinSoul Song. I got him in a trade quite some time ago with the intent of cleaning him up and selling him. Now, I’m not so sure… he’s so stinkin’ cute!
MaskCat Girls Are Home!
OMG I just received my MaskCat girls – tan Ceci & tan Aruna on Friday.. They are so stinkin’ adorable! And it’s a good thing, too, because our post office seriously sucks.
Fabric Friends and Dolls was not to blame at all. Iris addressed the package correctly, but our post office didn’t want to give it up.
BUT I have the girls now, and s’all good! Wootwoot! 😀
I originally ordered the girls with 2 different eyes – one pair in green and one pair in a gray-blue. I received a pair in a gorgeous dark blue in lieu of the green ones. While slightly disappointing, I really can’t complain since they are still beautiful.
On Saturday, we were supposed to get together at a friend’s place for a sewing day. Unfortunately, she had a power outage due to bad storms Friday night. So instead of sewing, I did the girls’ faceups.
I haven’t touched my faceup supplies (other than moving them, of course) in over 2 years! o.O
Actually, I don’t think they came out too bad. Not their final faceups, but good enough for now. 🙂
Aand, I completely forgot how much I enjoy doing faceups.
Tan Ceci & Aruna
So I broke down and put both a tan Ceci and tan Aruna on layaway with Fabric Friends & Dolls.
Iris is absolutely wonderful to work with – I was able to put the girls on a 5-month layaway! Wow!
Since the girls are both tan-skin, I opted to go for the brown wigs instead of the gold/blonde.
Ceci should be coming with beautiful green (Prasinous) eyes:
And Aruna should be coming with gorgeous gray-blue (Bice) eyes:
I’m so excited!!
I’m not sure I’ll be able to wait that long, but at least I know these 2 girls are coming home to me. <3
Hopefully it won’t take the full 5 months to pay them off! *fingers crossed*
