The box

There are the things I love about customizing dolls... Carving their little faces is fun. Not easy, it takes a lot of time and it can give me neck pain, but I like to carve. I enjoy popping their stock eye chips out (kinda sadistic, I know lol). I love the creative process, to see how the personality of each girl is taking shape. To get the answer to the question: who is this girl going to be? I love to get to know so many wonderful people: those of you who trust me and send me your dolly.
And there are things I kinda hate about customizing. The boggling and the gaze correction. There is not much creative about that and it can so easily go wrong. I don't like this fear feeling. The fear to ruin someone else's doll is always there. I also hate to color the lids, I find it a little difficult :D (I wish I had one of those airbrushes!).
And then, there is the box. The box is the most difficult of all. That moment when I have to say good bye to the girl I've created and put her in the box. It is so hard to take their clothes off and put them in that box. Yesterday it was even harder, because there were to boxes. These two little girls are on their way home now, but gosh it was the hardest thing to put them in those boxes!
Good bye little ones!...

  1. It must be incredibly hard to put them in their boxes and say goodbye, especially when they have so much personality and your heart and soul have gone into creating them. Beautiful work, Andreea! :)

  2. Los aerógrafos también son difíciles, pero puedes conseguir fácilmente una superficie uniforme :)) Yo no podría mandar a mis niñas de viaje, las echaría demasiado de menos! Soy lo peor... jajaja

    1. Solo lo usaria para los parpados, que supongo que no se necesita tanta precision. Despues podria aprender mas... Jaja, tu no sabes como la echo de menos a la Alexis factory de Noe!!! Si hubiera sido mia me la hubiera quedado!! :D

  3. Me encanta tu blog Andreea. :D Y me identifico tanto con todo lo que dices! yo también odio es aparte, el blogged y el gaze correction. Puedes etsropearlo todo con algo tan sencillo! Pero luego todo sale bien y las niñas sacan su personalidad. Tú les das vida y esa sensación es increíble, lo compensa todo. Incluso el momento despedida de caja. ;)
    Besotes.

  4. A mí lo que más me desespera del aerógrafo es que hay que limpiarlo a conciencia o se atasca... eso y chafar el párpado despues de haberlo dejado perfecto, me da más rabia que cuando pasa con los pasteles jajaja necesitas una pelialexis, Andreea, así te quitas la espinita :))
