Episode #5- First Try

Image
Her face repaint came out really nice, but this dress would have made "NINA" question my talent and my taste level:-D

Episode #5 -The Klum Doom

Image
so happy I took that "Mood" do over:-) the first dress was not right. I didn't even finish it, but when I do...I'll share it. This is a nice , simple red carpet look-once again safe:-D The top 3 looks were FaBuLous, so I'm happy w/this one.

Finally...Episode #4 Men's suit to High Fashion

Image
I made this little dude a suit a few months ago and all I had left was the fabric from his tie. So she got a cute little romper and a hat box purse...maybe I'll have to use the "Tim Gunn Save" this time *,*

Well now we hit a snag...

Episode #4 used a man's polyester suit, to make something High Fashion, sponsored by Red Robin Restaurant. So, anyway, I don't have any kind of suit to cut up, and I'm not really a designer-I'm just a crafter who likes to dress my fashion dolls. But I do have a very eclectic fabric stash, and I might be able to find some funky polyester. It seems like the designers all "tried" to made something wearable, so I can't treat it Avant Garde. Looks like I'll be watching it again on HULU:-D Well, that makes my goal just to get something that closely fits the challenge, made before next Thursday's episode*,* Got to get my wheels turning.

Episode #3 Marie Claire-20 years in the future,inspired by the past 1994

Image
Since fashion goes in a circle, and the nineties seemed like whatever goes, DO YOU :-) So, to me, in the future, fashion would be light and free and full of self expression. One piece jumpsuit, painted details and BIG hair . Once again...I think ...safe*,*

Episode 2-Unconventional Challenge @ the Movies

Image
Had to be something associated w/making or viewing movies, so I used a paper cup, a paper plate and yarn...random and unconventional:-D once again I think I would be safe.

Episode 1 Spring Look

Image
I guess a see through dress is ok for spring:-) I know it's not a winner, but i'd be safe*,*

So here's a thought...

Maybe I'll use Project Runway Season 13 as my inspiration. I'm already 4 episodes late,but maybe dress a doll for each challenge, following the rules of the challenge as closely as possible, using things a I already have on hand. And each garment being a new design...nothing I've already made or started.  Besides 2 of these ep. they didn't go to mood:-) So I'll post my first "garment tomorrow-Future Spring Line. I think I'm excited*,* My goal is to catch up to the show and stay on point after that. I think there are only 13 ep. so how hard could that be? I only have a life and a job and grandkids:-D But this might just be FUN...we all need some FUN in our lives!!!

Finally a "Thrift Fix" and hopefully some inspiration

Image
MyScene Madison-articulated arms and legs-I have never seen that before. Also Chelsea with articulated legs, super cute auburn hair W/blonde highlights. And a "Bratz" doll w/no feet:-( Just what do you do w/a Bratz doll. Maybe she'll be my first try at a "rebody". I'm a big chicken and would hate to ruin the necks. But the face is probably real easy to repaint...large, round, hard plastic :-D Close up of faces and bodies. MyScene is my absolute favorite. Followed closely by the LIV doll...love that pretty bald head*,*
