Now with no dead bugs!

January 31, 2018January 31, 2018 ~ Kathryn / DIY-WFU ~ Leave a comment

I'm wrapping up my day off. I've joined a Pullip Doll group on Facebook. It's not a selling group. The woman running it makes solid Pullip related videos and seems to be good at creating community/an online presence with give-aways and discussion prompts. Much of it is people un-boxing things they've ordered, sharing doll stories … Continue reading Now with no dead bugs!

When you find yourself Googling “remove doll scalp”…

It's been a hectic but rewarding few days of teaching (dance and English) and I am on the eve of a day off. The Dal Doll face is evolving....   I've done adjustments on the wig I think I'm going to use, making it slightly smaller and tighter. I have also "washed" the wig. The … Continue reading When you find yourself Googling “remove doll scalp”…

Dal Dolly, what did they do to you?

January 27, 2018May 14, 2018 ~ Kathryn / DIY-WFU ~ Leave a comment

I've been stressed. This means I'm learning new aspects of doll craft. I was at the Hobby Off in Kashiwa.  I know that's dangerous.   I was thinking about picking up a Peco-Chan and repainting her in some surreal manner. I was just daydreaming, my heart wasn't in it. No new-used Disney dolls so I … Continue reading Dal Dolly, what did they do to you?

First Disney Repaint.

January 25, 2018September 29, 2018 ~ Kathryn / DIY-WFU ~ 1 Comment

I’ve got dolls, they’re multiplying. And I’m losing control. Well. I have more than one Disney doll now. Before Craftsmas an online friend contacted me about two Disney Animators dolls (Belle and Lilo ) she picked up for about 5 USD each. She’s planning to send them to me, but some holiday called Christmas has … Continue reading First Disney Repaint.

Chapter XXII: A Ruined Dress.

January 12, 2018January 12, 2018 ~ Kathryn / DIY-WFU ~ Leave a comment

Let us all bow our heads, Craftsmas had come to a close. No longer are my days for all the crafts. I am back to my jobs. Now is the time for manageable smaller projects. The last days of Craftsmas were spent finishing off another scrap quilt, it had remained 2/3’s finished after last Craftsmas. … Continue reading Chapter XXII: A Ruined Dress.

Terror Gets a New Pair of Pants.

January 4, 2018November 30, 2018 ~ Kathryn / DIY-WFU ~ 2 Comments

Well, I couldn't very well leave Archie pants-less. He's scary enough. Even with the make-over an apartment guest recoiled slightly at his visage. After the ass-reduction Archie couldn't very well wear his old pants. Also...Archie has some ugly pants. Trust me, they are a repulsive fabric to behold. But, accurate to the classic look. There's … Continue reading Terror Gets a New Pair of Pants.
