Still looking for inspiration or "How I gave my girl a Marley Weave"
Before... Since PR-Threads and All-Stars are just not doing it for me this time. Those kids fill time, but are kids after all. And the "All-Stars" are all smoke and mirrors. It makes me wonder how many they had to ask before these showed up? And the creations that win the challenges, for the most part, just make me wonder what in the world is going on over @ LIFETIME? So I'm still hunting for the spark of life to my creativity, NEVER GIVE UP...NEVER SURRENDER*,* After: now she's my "Marie Antoinette". I put the "Marley" in my own hair and what I had left just screamed to be someplace, so here ya go :-) I braided it into her hair,since at some point, I want to be able to remove it-so no glue and no cutting; She was already so pretty w/her big 'fro and her flat feet; I just wanted to make her opulent and regal. She's enjoying her winter garden...the beauty of sparseness... "I wonder if there's any cake left...
"New" Mulan got a "face-up" totally by accident.
Fresh from the thrift. First paint job. Side note...be very careful w/the acetone...brows, eyes...yikes *,* I didn't use a sealant, so once I find my single haired paint brush, this mess will be re-done:-D And her arms are articulated w/soft rubber hands. Her bendy legs are also soft, spongy rubber. I washed and conditioned her poor ratty hair. It was in bad shape. Now it's big, soft and fluffy. I think I have to give her the boil dip to straighten it out and get the shine back. I like her w/Li Shang.
Thrift Store Splurge
I think the man is a "real" GI JOE since he has HASBRO on his bottom. He's in good shape,w/boots and gloves for hands. Mulan is well played with, and her kimono is very worn on the back; I couldn't tell that the way she was bagged. So I paid $2.99 for her, but that's o.k. Once she gets a good dip and hair redo, she'll be pretty as ever. Comparison of my two Mulan's. Open smile Mulan is 11 inches tall and is on a fully articulated body. New Mulan has hip length hair...hopefully it all survives a good brushing :-D and has a standard 10 inch "princess" body. Face comparison...open smile vs "Geisha" face *,*
