Out in the Woods

A little bit 50ies....

So summer is almost over and I was out to take pics on, what seems to be, one of the last sunshine-days.

I made this Re-roots and dresses already in May and I'm happy to finally show them.

The dresses are 50ies inspired and have little petticoats underneath. I used thin cotton Moussline from Liberty and a simple cotton fabric for the contrast that I dyed myself.


Enjoy!

 I used Barbie Basics nr.14 again. This time she got a Re-root in Hazelnut with Ash-blonde Summer-Streaks.

And I got Katniss with the new Facemold. I really love her and I wanted to bring out her green eyes. So she got a Re-root in Strawberryblonde with Golden-blond Streaks.

The both got hot-water-perms and i rolled them on big XL-Straws to give them a natural movement!

Little Summer-Boho Dress....

Since I am renovating my little country-apartment this summer I do not have so much time for Barbie, sadly. But I made this little Boho-summer dress a while ago and finally got the time to take pics.

I used Barbie Nr. 08 from the Basics Jeans-Line and rerooted her with a custom blend of Original Brunette and Hazelnut, both Saran Hair from www.mylittlecustoms.co.uk. I totally love her. I think she got the perfect lip colour...

The fabric I used for the dress is thin cotton mousseline from Liberty!...

Have a great summer,

Alice in Wonderland...

Making myself happy...

Since I can remember I always loved Alice in Wonderland.  I loved to read the book, I loved the Disney-movie from the 50ties and ther was also an animated series around in the 80ies that i loved to watch.
I think it's a perfect theme for Barbie because when Alice shrinks and talks to the flowers in the Disney version she might be at about Barbie's size. So I loved to playAlice with my Barbie.
What I dont undestand is that Mattel has not offered a satisfying version lately. Of course there are the 'Skipper as Alice' Dolls from the 90ties and there was this more artistic version a few years ago. But was there any original or Disney Inspired version yet? I mean really like 'Barbie as Alice..'?
No there was not. But of course we get another set of 'Gone with the wind'-Scarlets and 'Oz-Dohrothy's'.

So there's nothing else to do than making myself happy and create one by myself. This is what I came up with, this is what I would like to see from Mattel!

Enjoy!

I used 'Daria Celebutante'. She got a reroot in Blondicous and Dark-Maibu  (Saran hair fom MyLittleCustom)

   Hope you love her as much as I do!

Making of the Landscape-Model

 Here is the deal: When i went outside to take pics with my Barbie it always bothered me that i could not photograph her as a whole since the scale was not correct. And because i have a friend who does scale models for trains i figured, i could do this for Barbie. I went online and looked for tutorials on youtube (Watch it here) and i have to say, it is easier than you might think. You just need good material, patience and creativity.

Take a look:

Hope youre inspired. Have fun creating your own! Ask me if you wanna have tips!

Be kind to one another,

Axel
