Express Yourself

 

This Blythe doll is Sea Sailor See, posing with her Sonny Angel friend for the theme "Creepy clown" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

Tiny Creatures

"Tiny, unusual creatures are easy to find," explained Cassis. "You just have to look for tiny, unusual holes."

Prima Dolly Cassis is posing for the theme "tiny creatures" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

Pretty Portrait

She really is as pretty as a picture.

What do you do with your favorite doll pictures after you have posted them online? I like to turn them into post cards. This Blythe doll is Allegra Champagne posing with a post card of herself from a picture I took a couple of years ago.

Call the Help Desk

Cece doesn't know that much about computers.

This Blythe doll is Cinema Princess, posing for the theme "Bugs" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

Book Report

Oh, the unparalleled agony of trying to write a book report on a novel that she neither enjoyed nor understood. At least it was fun using the antique typewriter.

This doll is Raspberry Sorbet, posing for the theme "Bloomsday" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. I had never heard of Bloomsday before so I looked it up. It's an annual celebration of the life of James Joyce, on June 16th--the day his novel Ulysses (set in 1904) takes place. The protagonist is named Leopold Bloom, hence the name Bloomsday. I've never read Ulysses, but I found it for free on Amazon for Kindle, so I downloaded it and will try to find out what all the fuss is about, because I also found out that it is considered by many to be the greatest novel of the 20th century! The things I learn while photographing my dolls!

Back to Nature

Take time to wonder at the mysteries of nature. 

This is another picture from the past...I took it in 2016. I'm happy to have a chance to use it again for the theme "Back to Nature" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. The Blythe doll is Raspberry Sorbet; the little woodland creature is a Sonny Angel.

Tiny Tootsies

Kick off your shoes and enjoy the weather with us!

Starting at the top right and going clockwise, these Blythe dolls are My Little Candy, Tsumori Spirit, Coco Collette, Simply Lilac, Cadence Majorette, and Cream Cheese and Jam. This picture is for the theme "Barefoot" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. (There's no hidden object, again--ugh. I just can't remember to include it.)

Marketing

Patty had just finished her shopping when a photographer snapped her picture and asked her to sign a release. The next thing she knew, her image was in all the Mighty Market advertising, and she got a check in the mail for $5000! Now she's a Mighty Market customer for life.

This Blythe doll is Patty Patch Fluffy Coat, wearing Country Summer's stock outfit. This picture is for the theme "Market" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

Summer Games

"Play is the highest form of research."    --Albert Einstein

Simply Bubble Boom, Simply Thumpty Thump, and Simply Sparkly Spark enjoy a round of hopscotch for the theme "Summer Games" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Be Yourself

"Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else."  --Margaret Mead

This Blythe doll is Playful Raindrops, riding a Barbie bike, for the theme "Bicycles" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. If you have a magnifying glass you might be able to find the wubba chicken hidden in the picture! 

Say Something Nice

I've been looking for dolly photo inspiration this week, and it finally came to me in the form of an invitation to this month's Blythe a Day group on Flickr. Yay! I made this picture for June first's theme, "Say Something Nice," featuring Stella Serendipitous. There is a hidden object option this month: we can choose an object to include in all our pictures for others to find. Can you guess what my object is? 

Your Mother Should Know

Your Mother Should Know


Stepping outside, Jane saw a shocking sight. "BOYS! I think your mother should know that you are running around without your pants on! I'm going to call her right now!"

The Sonny Angels just laughed and ran away. Jane never thought angels could be so naughty.

This shocked-looking Blythe is Jane, my Kenner.

The Biggest Egg

Egg


Shy little April was quite overwhelmed by all the attention she received after she found the enormous Grand Prize Egg at the Easter Egg Hunt.  Luckily, she has her sisters nearby for moral support--and to help her carry the egg home, since it is almost as big as she is!

The placement of the dolls, and the camera angle for this photo resulted in April looking much smaller than the two middies beside her. Weird!

Easter Bunny

Bunny

At the Easter Egg Hunt, little June encounters the real Easter Bunny--and she's pleasantly surprised to see that she's a girl!

My Melody is still in her stock outfit (I got her on Valentine's Day!) But I love it on her and it really works for Easter--maybe she should have been an Easter gift! The Middie is Francoise Ananassa.

Favorite Colors

Colors


Jubilee has become quite well known as a portrait painter. When asked what are her favorite colors, she always replies, "All of them!"

All of the little portraits in this photo are ATC's (Artist Trading Cards) made by my friend and fellow Blythe enthusiast, Sara Ricer ( mountains and clouds ). We traded ATC's about a year ago. I love her colorful style!

Jubilee (with her back to the camera) is Simply Thumpty Thump. Her subject is Heidi, aka Cousin Olivia.

Green

Green...it's not just for St. Patrick's Day!

This is the second time I've made a photo for the theme "green"; the first picture is on the wall behind Ivy (who is an Amaryllis Blythe doll).

Just Act Natural

Pot of Gold


Jubilee discovered the legendary Pot of Gold right in her own backyard! But when she tried to keep it a secret, she came face-to-face with the truth: she is a terrible liar.
