Not all are pictured there! A few more are stuck (literally, with toothpicks) in a different foam.

The attack of the clones.

Except they’re not exactly clones. But you get the idea!
Oh boy, it wasn’t fun to sand by hand all those teeny tiny arms. But that’s what I do~

For the last few days I’ve been furiously sanding these Grödnertal inspired Maggies. There will be around 20 of them! Some Ballet dancers and also some Flapper dancers too!
They’re incredibly cute and tiny :)

Despite my poor Fish tired of me using her as a model and pattern mannequin, I think the dress is coming along pretty nicely :)

You never have enough pins. Some things just cannot be held with clips!

Enjoy the absolute chaos of my workspace while I get back to sewing.
Yes, I use workbenches as tables, they’re the best and I will die on this hill.

People on the very, very old mansion:
‘Ooo scary that doll is moving!! It wants to kill us!!!’
The doll:
‘For the love of god just restring me and put my wig right please 😭’

I once read someone saying ‘There are dolls so lifelike that they develop a soul and become haunted. However, if they’re well cared for, why should you be afraid?’
Aka same with animals. Why would a doll/puppy want to hurt you if you become their favorite thing in the world? 😉

So sorry to hear that. I’ve been through similar, apparently after covid I lost the ability to metabolize certain vitamins. I’m on meds now which have helped me a lot. If it makes you feel a bit more at ease, the liver is the only organ able to regenerate on its own!! Take care and you’ll be okay🤍

Pink Cocktail wig for Lunl is finished! Modeling is my own doll, but this wig will be for a different doll~

Maybe because they know they’re in good hands? That I will try my best to make them shine again, while respecting their origin and personality? Maybe it’s the same why wild animals approach me looking for help while they would bit others? All I want to do is help. And they know.

I once heard someone saying ‘yes, some dolls can be lifelike in the sense they invite a soul to reside in them. However, if they’re well cared for, why would you be scared of them?’

And that has stuck with me. I’ve never been afraid of a doll, no matter how lifelike or ‘haunted’ it may be.

She’s been successfully cleaned, woth the utmost care to preserve the gofun polish and color. No more soot and grime and her hair is brushed and shiny again. She’s right out the onsen!
Now, to get her a lovely kimono!

I swear I can see her smiling again…
