First Attempts at Blythe Customization

Summer 2021, I decided to branch out further and give Blythe customization a try (involves extensive carving, remolding with air dry clay, airbrushing, face up, changing eyechips, and outfit making). Since I had no clue about whether I was going to be good at it and didn’t want to ruin a genuine doll, I decided to practice with factory Blythe first. The carving part looked especially scary for me. I thought I was going to suck big time at it and probably ruin a whole bunch. So I bought a lot of factory Blythe, and I mean A LOT. To my absolute surprise, carving came pretty easy for me 😮 So… I got stuck with a lot of factory Blythe dolls, which I could not resell all (even though I tried) but had to customize most of them (please don’t crucify me for this, I’ve just been stuck with them 😭) … Anyways below are the two very first dolls that I did. I kept them for the sake of remembering my first efforts.
