My newest editions are JLY44 (Dahlia) and JLY24 (Elliot). Both are in great condition and while they’re both JLYs, to me their story is set in the late 1800s Chicago. They love walking down main street and admiring the storefronts, hearing about the new inventions like the telephone and the new railroads, and going to the library together. Elliots family is in the railroad business, and Dahlias father owned a share in the oil business until the government shut it down, forcing her father to travel West in hopes of new opportunities.
I bought Elliot on Mercari for around $35. She is in great condition: her legs are barely floppy, her stuffing is full and intact, the marks were washable, and her eyes open and close with no problems. Her hair was tangled and matted and it was obvious someone did a downy dunk on her because her hair was greasy. The pictures the owner posted of her had her hair in a ponytail, so I didn’t know her hair would be so long. I love it! I cut some split ends and straightened her hair and voila!
Dahlia and Samanthas Tea Party Dress were bought off eBay (dahlia for $60 and the dress for $10). Dahlia is in perfect condition! Her tag says 2017, her skin and hair are perfect, she isn’t floppy at all, and there were no spots or marks on her at all. Overall, I am super pleased with the girls and I don’t think I’ll be getting more for a while. Thanks for reading!! 🙂
Dolloween, Day 12: Drink and Potions. Kirsten and Tris take their picnic blanket to the local farmer’s market and enjoy a fall picnic after making their purchases, including apple cider to fill up their mugs from home. Yum! Tris cups both hands over her mug to warm them up, while Kirsten finishes her cider quickly.
When I was in college, my Stage Craft teacher showed us this. Basically the machine heats up a sheet of plastic, and once it’s malleable enough it’ll be blown up to make room for whatever you want to imprint in the plastic. Once it’s in place, the air reverses and the plastic vacuum-sucks all around the object.
He demonstrated it on a baby doll and it was like a baby had been frozen in carbonite. I got to take it home and I still have frozen-carbonite-baby to this day (his name is Franklin XD)
