kendal recently put photos of 3 of my dolls on her blog so i thought id add photos here of how they once looked ....
firstly is the little blonde waif who arrived to me just as a head, trouble is even though i know i took photos of her when she arrived i can seem to find any ! ...her hair was dry and in a ponytail so i cut it into a bob as the top was quite thick and healthy , i really like her with her little scuffed face and slightly sunken look as if something went wrong when she came out of the mold ....
i found these not very good photos of before and after hair cuts ...
and as she is now with a more scruffy look ....
next is my platinum blonde reroot ....i was so disappointed when she arrived , she was beautiful , brunette , matt and minty but had really bad falling hair , i doubt she'd ever been played with and being trapped laying in her box had caused the hair loss, i kept her as she was for a while before i rerooted her ....
as she is now .....
next is my first gregor, (shown in the photo above) when he arrived his box was full of hair, it got to the point when there was hair all over his shoulders and on the shelf where he stood so i had to rewig him ...now a girl she became my main model wearing a while variety of wigs , when i started to reroot all my models i left her to last as she was special and i wanted it to be perfect , trouble is if i put lots of thought into things they tend to go wrong and it turned out to be one of my worst reroots , firstly the hairs too dark, she has had 3 different partings , starting with a very low sidepart that didnt work, then a centre part and now a not so low side part , then i cut it into a bob as i wasnt using her as a model as the hair didnt look right , now she looks photogenic but in real life doesnt look too nice ....
now lots of photos in a variety of wigs ....
first modelling photos in a pintucks wig ...standing in a rather dodgy fashion :)

rare appearance as a boy in a prince gregor wig ...
and as she is now with her rather harsh hair ...
lastly i found this photo of the first sashas i had .....a rather mixed bunch !....the gregor is from the photos above and the caleb now has lots of plaits but all the others have gone to pastures new ...
This was a lovely post to go through Sarah, and to see the differences that have occurred with your dolls. I love your little blond Gotz girl, she reminds me of my own blond Gotz who I got on Ebay. I just happened to log on and there she was, just been listed with a reasonable BIN so I quickly snapped her up...and she was lovelier than the seller would have had you believe! She too has that slightly concave look to her face but for some reason I am unable to get a really good photo of her, she never looks as nice in photos as I think she looks in real life.
ReplyDeleteBut of all the photos above, I love those of the last girl, who used to be a boy. She really is a very pretty girl and I love all the wigs you've had on her. She looks particularly sweet and appealing in the Pintucks wig with the gingham blouse and dungarees...I really love her look.
Keep 'em coming Sarah!

its annoying sometimes when a doll looks lovely in real life but not so in photos , ive got a couple that look fab in photos but not in real life ! ....as for my first wigged model the pintucks wig was really good until i decided to cut a heavy fringe into it and it didnt work at all...im thinking those were the first dungarees i ever made :) and yes my doll tastes have changed over the years , i think in the beginning they all had to have tags and boxes ....very different story now xxxx
DeleteLoved walking through your before and after photo's of some of your dolls Sarah. It amazing how they look sometime when we get them and then with a little bit of love and a good clean and sort out , we land up with a lovely Sasha to add to our collection.
ReplyDeleteI especially love the first girl , she looks lovely with the shorter hair , I do love a good waif! lol
A little bevy of beauties Sarah, thanks for sharing :)xx
thanks dee, im so cross as i know i took pics of the blonde as i remember just having the head on the table and then i put her on my redhead 80s boys body and she looked weird , like she was really tall with a tiny head ...those photos are somewhere but who knows where ! :) xxxx
DeleteJust amazing to see your gorgeous transformations of waifs! I am particularly fond of your blonde rerooted girl, just love her long blonde hair with no fringe. Very beautiful! Also, the Gregor with the many wigs looks fantastic in every wig---how nice is that! Thank you for sharing the dolls and their changes. A lovely post. :) xxx
ReplyDeletethanks ginger ...what i think i liked about the rewigged gregor was just how versitile she was with all the wigs that suited, the reason though i gave up with wigs was if they were in constantly in use they stretched and then in one photo the fringe would be at eyebrow level but in the next it would have slipped back and she would look like she'd had a drastic haircut inbetween photos ...at least rerooted hair stays put :) xxxx
DeleteWow! Loved looking through all the photos. What a difference a hairstyle can make. Thaks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteglad you liked seeing them ....i think i miss it that i could change her hair when i wanted as she could look so different xxxx
DeleteA most interesting post. Great to see all the super transformations that you have carried out over the years of them becoming youir now famous models.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for searching through your achieves to show us these most impressive photos.
(PS. I had, and in fact still have, most of those wigs mentioned here and like you my Sasha collection started off the same way! How we've since changed!)
i think most of those wigs have gone over the years , i think ive only got one brown one left which is far too dark ....yes there was lots of searching through all my photos and SO frustrating that i cant find the ones of the blonde gotz head when she arrived ....but there are ALOT of photos to search through ! ..
DeleteI so enjoyed looking at these transformations, and I particularly love the brown eyed girl who now has blonde hair, I love that combination. I also love seeing wig tryouts, so thoroughly enjoyed all these. Xxx
ReplyDeleteglad you enjoyed them , i do love the blonde with the brown eyes but i do think she looked lovely as a brunette xxx
