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.)

Public Service Announcement

Prevent a fall! Put your trash in the proper receptacle.

These lovely Blythe dolls are Tsumori Spirit (left) and My Little Candy (right). I'm glad to have a chance to use my polymer clay banana peel again! I made it a few years ago for another "slip and fall" photo. This picture is for the theme "Upsy Daisy" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

Winter Beauty

This Blythe doll with fabulous hair is Tsumori Spirit.

Water Lily

"Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment." --Claude Monet

This Blythe doll is Tsumori Spirit. The background is a poster of one of Claude Monet's water lily paintings. The colors are so similar to her hair! She is standing on a handmade felt water lily that I received in a craft swap many years ago. It's meant to be a pin cushion, but it's just a bit too small to be really functional. I've always loved it though, and I was pleased when I thought of using it in this picture. 

Eyewear

It looks like someone needs new glasses.

I hope she keeps the cat eye style, they are so cute! 

This Blythe is Tsumori Spirit. The glasses are from Cloud 9 Bowl. The theme is "eyewear" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

Sunshine and Shadow

Turn your face to the sun, and the shadows fall behind.

Tsumori Spirit looks lovely carrying her Barbie purse and wearing a dress I knitted. Her hair! It's a cloud of gorgeousness!

Beautiful Zara

Be your own kind of beautiful.

This is the lovely new Tsumori Spirit Blythe doll. I can't get enough of her periwinkle hair! The dress she is wearing (from ChantillyLaceCustoms on Etsy) has been in my doll room since last summer, but it hasn't looked great on any of my dolls--until now. On Zara, it is perfect!

Welcome Home

"It's been a long week of travel for me! So many flights; so much jostling about! I started in Japan, then flew to Chicago, where I was lost for a day or two. It's a relief to have reached my final destination at last: Williamsburg, Virginia. I'm home! And look--they're expecting me!"

I'm always listening for interesting names. "Zara" has come to my attention a couple of times recently; it's really pretty and unusual, just like Tsumori Spirit--so that's her name. 

I've had the light box tucked away in my doll room for many months, but I haven't had just the right occasion to use it, until now. It really makes this picture work.

Tsumori Spirit

Tsumori Spirit Dazzling Blythe Together at Last has finally arrived, and she is glorious! She has a LOT of hair (this is how it looks straight from the box, with some brushing; I will probably do a spa in a day or two.) It is composed of blue and purple strands mixed together, and the overall color is a gorgeous shade of periwinkle, which looks more blue or more purple depending on the light. It's a nice surprise, even though I was expecting it to be purple, like the lining of her coat, based on a picture of a prototype I saw. In this photo, she is showing off her eye chips that are my favorite pair: special light green.

She has a lot going on: a lot of hair, a lot of pieces in her stock outfit, and a lot of colors too. I'm looking forward to taking more pictures and exploring different aspects of her look.
