"This Barbie can get you anything you desire..."

And here's the latest Endless sibling I decided to make for my figure collection: Desire of the Endless!

They were a real challenge to make! I taught myself several new techniques for this doll, including my new favorite-- real eyelashes!

(picking a base doll was one heck of a challenge)

(Fun fact: that's the same face mold as Dream's base doll)

I have officially made a 90s style Kate McKinnon Weird Barbie (first outfit). Still disappointed we're only getting her 2nd/cleaned up and styled look for the official Weird Barbie. She now just needs an oversized or baby doll dress. I stan Weird Barbie.

Another late post, but here is my current doll diorama on display! Same scene, but a few less dolls this year lol. This time it features my two "Barbie on a Budget" Haunted Beauty dolls (ghost and vampire), plus two witches (I always tend to use that redheaded one lol). I do intend to tackle the Haunted Beauty zombie at some point; I just have to figure out how exactly I want to go about it, and if I want her to have old/dirty clothes or do a different approach. :D And of course, my famous little jars of various potion ingredients are included! I love those things!

Why yes, she is enjoying her goblet of blood :D

Mini apothecary jars and other witch items like books, candles, etc.:

Finally got my cauldron the way I wanted - with the green liquid! :D

Happy one week until season 2, crew! Sooo, I decided to try my hand at doll modification, miniature making, and a bit of 3d resin printing all at the same time, and it resulted in these guys! I started this project waaay back in July, and the vast majority of all of it was made from scratch by myself! Credit to Anna Ancyra for tailoring and making the tiny clothes though, because I cannot sew to save my life. I still have a bit more work to do on the packaging and the second auxiliary closet playset I'm working on, but I figured they're close enough to being done for me to post for now. There are TONS of hidden miniature details in these, but I'll likely have to make a separate post or video to show them all. Still, I hope you guys enjoy them as they are definitely a labor of love!

Here's my finished Starfire and Nightwing dolls! For Starfire, I coated her in a light layer of gold glitter paint and did her eyes in glittery green, then I sewed her a whole costume :D. For Nightwing, I painted over the light aqua(?) accents in a deeper, prettier blue and then added fingerstripes and blue soles to his boots and coated him in satin mod podge to look less plastic-y and more supersuit-y.

#i really love how they turned out #i had to design kori's whole costume bc i don't love any of her canon hero fits #except her original ntt look which wouldn't work #and her titans suit which would have just been a painted bodysuit and no fun to make #i tried to make this one like. a modernized version of ntt? #something cute that u could still fight in yk? #my art #custom doll #my dolls #its been so long since i finished a doll i can't remember what tags i use #custom barbie #starfire #koriand'r #dick grayson #nightwing #dickkory #teen titans #dc comics

This cheap, hideous, bad-textured Ken tuxedo doesn’t close up over Bobbie’s butt, and the pants…broke. (It makes her look kind of James Bond, though, especially with the gloves.)

However, there’s hope, because people are always making patterns for doll clothes and I need to sew a jacket or two anyway. Just gotta find it.

#barbie #custom barbie #custom doll #custom figure #1:6 scale #screw it the main tag deserves bobbie in a suit content even if it's kitschy foot-tall plastic bobbie #and the suit frankly sucks. don't buy this suit for your dolls. don't. it's terrible. #bobbie draper #the expanse

I transformed Barbie into @lindsaylohan! 🎀 As a doll collector, I just had to add a doll of my favorite actress to my collection. This doll is inspired by her @cosmopolitan magazine cover, styled by @cassieanderson212. Cassie actually helped me identify the exact shoes Lindsay was wearing! The entire look, designed by @alexandrevaulthier, has been recreated in miniature by @sebasdolls, with the shoes crafted by @the_janchor. I had an absolute blast working on this project, and of course, I couldn't resist creating a miniature version of the magazine too. The repaint was expertly done by @plastsmuk_dolls, and I must say, he nailed Lindsay's likeness! 💖

Transformé a Barbie en @lindsaylohan! 🎀 Como coleccionista de muñecas, tenía que tener una muñeca de mi actriz favorita en mi colección. Esta muñeca está inspirada en su portada de la revista @cosmopolitan, estilizada por @cassieanderson212. ¡Cassie incluso me ayudó a identificar los zapatos exactos que Lindsay estaba usando! Todo el look, diseñado por @alexandrevaulthier, ha sido recreado en miniatura por @sebasdolls, con los zapatos hechos por @the_janchor. Me divertí mucho trabajando en este proyecto, y por supuesto, ¡no pude resistirme a crear una versión en miniatura de la revista también! El repintado fue realizado de manera experta por @plastsmuk_dolls, ¡y debo decir que super logró la semejanza de Lindsay! 💖

This week, I decided to update my Illidan Barbie doll just for fun! And I'm super happy with how he came out! The biggest change I made was that I used air-dry clay to make his face and body look more accurate. Bonus: I also get to finally show off my growing Animal Crossing plushie collection!

Finally got a shelf that can fit these four together! I hope to add another near it to fit the rest of The Endless when I get around to making them.

Unfortunately, Delirium's custom-made stand broke (and wouldn't fit on this shelf anyways), so she just gets to hang out with the Yellow Submarine for now. I switch out Morpheus's outfits between his different looks every so often.

So it turns out My custom Weird Barbie is one of the top image results when you google image search "weird barbie"! (towards the middle-right of the top and 2nd rows) This isn't the first time my dolls showed up on google images, just the first time at the top of the page.

I have begun a ‘spiteful Barbie collection’ on Etsy-

As a woman with cerebral palsy, I’ve never had a doll that resembles me fully. And in light of this, I’m getting a barbie that shares my features (eg hair, eye colour) and fucking around with it. I’m cutting its hair (I have very short hair) and softening the plastic on its right hand so I can mould it to look accurate, getting it clothes (chunky orthopaedic boots included) and a walking stick for occasional use.

Mattel won't do it anytime soon, so I might as well.

Behind the Scenes: Olivier Mira Armstrong

WARNING: VERY LONG POST AHEAD!

This was definitely a journey for me! This project was completely new territory for me because A) this is a character/series I’m not familiar with, and B) I’d be attempting a FULL reroot all by myself. I’d wanted to practice, and my friend and I both decided it would be a good opportunity to do so. If I failed, I did have a rerooter friend who I knew could fix my mistakes.

But the first step was making sure the outfits could be made. Without them, this entire project would be in vain. I’d need an outfit for both dolls, though Alex will be posed wearing only his pants with his shirt and jacket suspended in the air like in this scene:

So anyway, that was the first step. I contacted my favorite seamstress, Elenpriv, and asked if this was something she could do. The doll I’d planned to use was a Made to Move petite Barbie, and the guy has slightly different measurements than a traditional Ken, but since the pants were all that really mattered, it should be okay. Anyway, Elenpriv said the outfits were totally doable!!! YES!

So the next step was finding the doll to use. I knew what body I wanted - the petite Made to Move Barbie because Olivier is pretty short compared to her brother. My friend informed me that Olivier’s typical face is a “resting bitch face” LOL. Unlike my Inuyasha dolls, this series of characters has noses and mouths that are more pronounced than just lines. That actually made finding a candidate easier.

Out of total coincidence, the doll I ended up using had the petite Made to Move body AND the perfect face! She wasn’t smiling and had short hair that could easily be removed for a reroot:

For the record, I’m not a fan of the flocked doll hair. LOL Anyway, that’s beside the point. Her face sculpt looked perfect, so I knew we had our candidate! And the outfits were a go!

So next up was choosing the proper hair color. I got my hair and the rerooting kit (I’d had some in the past but I got more just in case lol) from TheDollPlanetHair on Etsy. My friend helped me choose the color, and we went with Lemon Blonde. Or was it Lemon Drop? I got both because screens make it hard to tell colors, but in person they look almost identical LOL.

So then I got to work! I’ll spare the details of the rerooting process, except for the fact that, this being my first time doing it, it was certainly a learning curve. I’d watched several videos of people doing reroots, and no one ever plugged every single factory-made hole. So I didn’t, either. I also had to make my own holes (glad I had that extra tool to help with that!) because the flocked areas didn’t have any underneath.

Well, I got that part done, and after the boil wash, it looked way too thin. And because I was afraid the hair could come out during that boil wash, I’d already glued it inside the head. So then I had to go back and add more hair because there were totally bald spots. I did that about two more times in total before (and yes, I added glue inside each time prior to a boil wash) before I was satisfied with the thickness. I was worried it would look completely uneven, but fortunately it seemed to be okay!

Once that was done, I pulled the hair back into a ponytail so I could begin working on the face. I didn’t want to do the face first only to realize I majorly messed up the reroot lol. For the face, the only thing that needed altered was the eyes. I wanted to just paint over the original factory paint, but the eyes were too small for that. Anime eyes, you know? I also wanted to try to use watercolor pencils like I’ve seen so many customizers do. I bought some Mr. Super Clear, a protective breathing mask, and Prismatic watercolor pencils. I started with a practice doll to make sure I knew what I was doing. I sprayed her face with the MSC, then began using the pencils... and the colors just didn’t shine through. At least, not over the original factory paint. I didn’t want to remove that because I can’t draw to save my life. I need a base to trace over. But alas, it wasn’t working. I’m guessing because I didn’t use acetone to remove the original factory paint, which everyone else does prior to spraying the MSC. But no way was I going to take off the original factory paint and start from scratch. So I used my Miroku method and just extended the eyes how they needed to be. I did discover that the watercolor pencils will draw over the top of acrylic paint, so that helped. I had more control with them than a paint brush. I was also able to use a regular pencil for light drawing that I could go over later with paint.

This took some time, and of course there are two eyes, and it never failed - they would never look even lol. Something was always wacky in at least one of them, and I, being a perfectionist with a hint of OCD, was going nuts. But then I remembered that one eye is always covered. So if it’s a little off, it won’t matter too much. Hopefully. So I did the best I could, getting the shapes to match as closely as possible, adding in the two different shades of blue to the iris, then that tiny black dot in the middle and the white light dot, eyelashes, and the unique eyebrows, and I was finally satisfied enough to begin the next step.

That next step was cutting and styling the hair. Olivier has a relatively simple hairstyle. It kind of ends in a curled point, and there is one batch that’s always covering her right eye and draped across her chest. There is an even smaller strand next to her left eye ending at pretty much the same length as the batch. So I sprayed the hair and got it completely soaked, then took my curling iron to the back side to give it a little curl, then curled the batch and strand just a little bit. I think it works!

Once that was finished, it was time for the tops of the boots. I used the same Barbie boots I used for Sango and painted them black, but Olivier’s boots have tongues on the tops of them.

I had the outfits already at this point, and I’d already put Olivier’s on her so I could make sure everything fit okay. Of course, it was perfect! And the details are absolutely incredible. Elenpriv is truly the best!!! Just look at this detail!

The gold rope, the stars on the shoulder pads, the buttons - everything is there, and perfect!!! Her services are worth every penny!

Back to the boots. I’m a fan of nothing being permanent with doll stuff in case A) I change my mind later and B) a better method comes along later so I can easily modify an already existing design. So, remembering how I made Sango’s armor completely out of cardstock, bias tape, and paint, I used that trusty method once again. I sketched out a design on black cardstock, cut and glued a few layers together, then covered them with bias tape and painted the whole thing black. I left a little triangular shaped wedge at the bottom to slide in between the boot and the pant legs. Not perfect, but no way am I gluing anything to that uniform!!!

After that came the medals! I forgot to even mention them to Elenpriv, so that was on me. But I had some ideas on how I could pull them off. My first thought was to attempt to use my new Cricut I’d gotten for Christmas to do it, but I didn’t even know where to begin. And I wanted to make sure to have this project done because in a week or two I’d be dropping it off to my friend’s neighbor, who was staying at her second home in Kansas temporarily, and she would take it back to her. So I took some measurements of the area the medals would go based on this picture:

That’s also a nice picture with a straight-forward view of the medals. So I made them in a few different sizes in Photoshop, printed them out, and then held them against the doll to determine the best candidate. After choosing one, I literally measured every centimeter tick of each piece of those medals I’d printed, determining the length/height/width of each individual color, plus the coin part. I sketched the design out on bias tape, and then I used acrylic paint to bring the colors to life.

Why didn’t I just use what I’d printed? Because A) it was on cardstock, so the details weren’t nearly as sharp, and B) if I’d used photo paper, the entire thing would be way too shiny/unrealistic. So this had to be done by hand.

For the coins, I immediately thought of a hole punch. At least that way I’d get perfect circles! So I took my gold paint and covered a spare area of cardstock in it, then used two different hole punch sizes to create the medals (yes, one is bigger than the other). To add thickness, I stacked and glued two of each size together, then painted the edges gold since that part was white after cutting them out. Then I used a pencil to sketch out the cross design, then lightly went over it with black paint. I love my tiny paint brushes!!!

To attach them to the ribbons, I glued a mini strip to the back of them, then glued that to the back of the cardstock behind the ribbons. I felt that would be easier than trying to glue those tiny edges of the coins and ribbons together. I’m really proud of how these medals turned out.

To attach them to the uniform, I just used some double-sided tape. Because, again, NO glue on that uniform!!!

And with that, the doll was DONE! It was definitely quite a process, especially since I’m not familiar with this show or character, but I’m pleased with how it all turned out! My friend informed me not to share this until after the intended recipient had the dolls in her possession, and now she does. And she approves! YES!!!

I feel deliciously smug about being a man who liked Barbies before it was cool. >:3

Have a dozen or so dolls of my own and they've all been actively played with. Was even briefly into customising them and making clothes for them myself.

this Painted Lady is my favourite. Her name is Heather, she only eats plants, and her body is a garden (all her tattoos are of flowers, birds, or insects) ^_^

(her bikini doesn't fit because it was made for a 'regular' Barbie, and Heather is a 'curvy' Barbie (aka has realistic humans body proportions (all of my women Barbies have the 'curvy' body)))
