NEW GIRL ....

I wasnt planning on a new arrival but i mentioned to a friend that id seen a girl like this on ebay and that by the time i decided to buy her someone had got there first so my friend said she had this girl who could come to model for me , when she arrived her hair  was quite thin on top and her fringe a bit frizzy, id not planned on doing any rerooting but esme phoned after school to ask if she could go to a friends for tea , so i had a spare few hours .....i didnt have the right colour hair but im impatient so i used the best match i had and its blended in quite well, so i rerooted the top of her head and now i think she looks lovely , im not sure about the hair clip that you cant see in the pic but im trying to make her hair stay over by itself , i can see though shes going to be a difficult model as one leg is way longer than the other  and shes difficult to stand , ive stuffed one shoe with cardboard and also stuck something under the shoe to make that leg a bit longer , its made her ok to stand but its not easy and she looks a bit awkward , her outfit will be for sale in a few weeks, im not sure its the most suited for her but it suits her better than the other things ive made so far .....rather alot of photos !

SOLD .....OUTFIT (I).....

Pretty floral baby pink dress with pintuck detail to the bottom, underneath are matching bloomers and it comes with a matching headband , also included are white nylon socks ....my models shoes are not included ....






SOLD.....OUTFIT (J).....

Delicate white cotton dress made from 2 vintage petticoats, im not entirely happy with how the skirt hangs as i had to join two pieces of fabric together to get the length, so the seam where ive joined it is stiffer than i would like for such delicate fabric ...but maybe im just being picky ! ...underneath are pintucked bloomers , lacey headband and white nylon socks ....my models shoes are not included ....

TRIFFID .....

Well not really ! ...just a giant echium, i was sunbathing today and thought it would make a nice photo...its taller than it looks in the photo as it fell down and i had to tie it to the fence so now its wonky ....i would have taken pics of gregor too but i repainted his eyes a while back (for about the 6th time) and thought they looked quite nice untill i saw them in bright daylight today and realised theyll need to be done again ....
