Don't worry!

I have not quit my doll remaking, I've just started high school in another town and don't have any accessible internet for my computer there :c

So, I'm going to update you a little.

I have not yet started to paint Pépite, because I'm still missing her hair ans Mr. Super Clear, but that's all I need!
I have started to sculpt and paint her polymer eyes, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist and I'm not satisfied with the result yet, but almost there!

My dolls from America have arrived as well.
Both Draculaura(a.k.a. Pinkie Pie Cake) and Cleo/Clawdeen(un-named :c ) are here, clean and shaved!
I've named my skeleton Malin before I even have her <_<
But her torso is shipped and I will buy her head and limbs this week.

Pictures and more WILL be posted, but not now :(

Hugs!

On my way!

Sorry for bad update, but my mood has been a little low the last days, it just happens sometime without reason(and that's why I eat my medicine).

Today, I got my hot glue gun from Ebay + about five stick black keratin(it's more visible than translucent glue, and since I am going to glue INSIDE the dolls head, I will be sure that I don't do anything wrong and destroy her :c).
I REALLY recommend  that you buy "hot glue gun for hair", because it's the same thing as normal hobby guns, the "for hair" is just something they say to make little girls buy their stuff and destroy their hair with it...
And yes, it's much cheaper.
My gun + its glue sticks went for less than 3$ c:

I have bought ALOT of stuff, but there is still a few things I need.
I need pliers( atleast two), sandpaper, cottongloves and... Mr. Super Clear.
I'm running out of money ;___;

NOW things happen!

Yesterday, it was my birthday and I got some money!
So, finally I could by some artistic tools and colors for my ghouls(girls in monsterian)!

I put on my "spending pants" and searched the internetz for interesting stuff in Sweden.
I found a page that actually was sellling almost everything I was looking for.
Acrylics, dry pastels, water color pencils, acrylic thinner, polymer clay, liquid polymer clay(but I have to buy more of that) and a little plastic palette.

The same time, I got a GREAT offer on the doll-community, a girl was selling TWO Monster Highs, totally naked and clean, for totally 29$.
You can't even get ONE doll for that price in Sweden.

One of the dolls, a "hybrid" between a Cleo(the head) and Clawdeen(the body), really needs some ideas for her design, because I don't have any at all x.x
I already know that she will be my very first sold OOAK, so I should focus on her quality a lot, or else, none  want to pay +100$ for her.

So, three dolls already, and there will be moore :'p

The two ones to the right are miiiine!

Ideas.

Because I want to save them somewhere...

*Gems for eyes?
* Creep School-Emma-dollie?
* Pinkie Pie-dollie?
*What to do with my beloved skeleton??

I will buy the skeleton torso from a nice girl in the USA and I REALLY love her facemold and limbs.
I think a "non-scary", cute and sweet "baby"-skeleton will be lovely.
Do you get it? A myling! It's a Swedish lore, google it :'p

Slow as a snail...

I'm stuuck ;__;
I was supposed to buy Pépite's hair today(a blend of ashy hazelnut and black) buut...
The payment don't work and the owner of the store is busy with her new baby, so she hasn't read my mail I think.
Come ooon...
Yesterday, I told my grandfather that he should tell my dad(who is visiting him and grandmother) that I wanted colors for my birthday, hopefully I will spare a couple of crowns(Swedish crowns/kronor, our currency you know) because of that! c:

But, this morning I got a little package with some cheap ear studs from Ebay in the mailbox! c:
I'm going to make accessories for my girls with them in different ways later, when I got my sewing-tools from my other apartment and my hot glue gun!
So, a liiitlle snail step forward! Better than nothing...

I've also done some research in doll-costs, because they are just too expensive here *sob*.
I found out that it will probably be best to buy my next dolls from the UK or the USA.
Germany has SICK prices, like 100 $ on a simple one of Skull Shores?? Including the Ghoulia(Skull Shores' Ghoulia is the doll nobody wants, I like her a bit because she's a zombie, but I have problems with the rockabilly-style).

Stuff I need in first place now:

For the face-up
*Brushes - CHECK!(bought a pack of twelve yesterday)
*Dry pastels
*Acrylics
*Acrylic thinner
*Mr. Super Clear(matte)
*Gloss sealer

For the hair
*Hair... *roll-eyes*
*Extra long needle
*Glue

For the eyes
*Polymer clay
*Liquid Fimo
*Glitter? Something sparkling to create more... "Wow!".
*Dotting tool - CHECK!(comes with my brushes)
*Perfect Eye Tool or something similar that cost less than 20$

This will take awhile...
The face-up will cost about 400 SEK, that's like 60$.
The hair... Max 20$ I think.
Eyes.. oh.. The eyes... maybe 50$? But I can make alot of pairs!

It's hard to start from scratch, but it will be funnier later then I get my next dolls and can use my money on funnier things.

Here she is, my Pépite(MY pictures this time)

Of course,  my Rochelle Goyle looks almost exactly like all the other Rochelle Goyle's, but...
She is mine, she's different, she's special...
And sure, I can tell you her new name - Pépite.
It means nugget, or more exactly "little piece of noble metal", it don't have to be gold.
I chose her name because she is made of stone, and you find metal in stones, PLUS "have a heart of gold" means in Swedish to be very nice and kind.
And... It remembers me about "Pebbles"(you know, the daughter in The Flintstones?) :P
I think it's very pretty c: <3

So, ladies and gentlemen - Pépite.

I knooow, it's a bit strange to show off her ass...
BUT LOOK AT IT, IT'S AMAZING <3

Before I bought her, I thought her skirt was silver-printed, but the silver is actually holografic! :D
I'ts very fancy c;

Personal style

I understand more and more why people make so... Pale, ashed, washed-out One Of A Kinds(OOAKs) and I will probably buy a couple of these from other artists.
But copying the style and do it bu my self? Never.

When you start a "career" as a Monster High-remaker, you need to give your dolls something special.
Because, you are the very best in your person style, and other are the best in their.
Copying or imitating others creations is perfect for learning the basics, but not more than that.
IF you are going to publish pictures of your "copy-cat", be nice to the artist and give her or him links and credits.

So, whatever I have in my mind, I have to keep it original.
It's pretty hard I say, because everywhere I see stuff that I had in mind before(like gluing "bubble-gravel" on the doll to make her look more watery, right from the sea) and idea after idea breaks.
But I think, that every idea I get, can together be some awesome doll-fashion in the future.
So I keep the bubbles in mind, and maybe make up something better, personal, with them later!

Here is a lovely OOAK Lagoona with "bubbles".
She and her picture belongs to Kerbeneteka on Flickr.
