A Wave of Factory Blythe Customs

As mentioned in a previous post, I’ve got myself too many factory Blythe dolls, thinking that I needed to practice while it turned out carving came pretty easily for me. So, below are the factory Blythe customs that have been adopted 🥰

1. Alice of the Blue Garden: This is a tall one with better proportions as I used a Barbie MTM curvy body. Handmade her outfits too.

2. Lovely Bear: Another full custom made with Barbie MTM Curvy body. Handmade outfits as well.

3. Little Sailor: This one uses an Azone type body. Also an open-mouth girl with front teeth shown.

4. Beautiful Mermaid:

5. Hot pink unicorn:

6. Butterfly faerie 🧚 

7. Valentines Bear 🐻 💕 

There also are quite a few that are still available for adoption, which I will put into different posts 😊

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.

Hello Again Juniemoon

I won a lottery, for the first time in my life!! Not the kind that someone gives me money, though. LOL. It was the Blythe doll “opportunity to buy” lottery, which enabled me to get Hello Again Juniemoon.” Now I have a raven hair, a brunette, a red head, and a blonde. I thought my mini collection would be complete for a long while. Would it be true? 😆 But now, let’s take a look at this cutie.

Unoa Face Up

[Adopted] Early 2021, I diverted from Pullip customization a little — found a unoa Sist faceplate in my “old stuff” closet and gave it a face up. This faceplate was adopted. I’m putting a picture up for record keeping ❤

Kagezakura Everywhere

 Just having fun with my photo app and my doll 😆

[Adopted] My Second Full Custom Pullip

This one is a mocha doll. Again I did her faceup, hand picked her wig and eyechips, hand-made her outfit set, and got her the shoes from CoolCat. She, too, has gone to her loving owner and forever home. Thank you so much for adopting her! 💓 I'm posting her here only for record keeping 😀
