My girls get new profile

Thoughts in giving my girls a name have been swirling for the past few weeks. I started planning how I should name them and decided to keep the first letter of the edition which I bought. As they are an addition to my little palace, I have choosen Princess to name my Precocious Candy's Mushroom. Bell for my Honey Bunny Once More.

Names are chosen at a "Babynames.com", a useful baby names website just right for my doll!

Customizing Blythe - Sand-Matting

Honey Bunny is preparing to go through a few 'facial surgery'.



As I dare not to remove her scalp, customizing Honey Bunny Blythe is limited to sand matte and changing her eyelashes. I do it without removing her face mold or eye balls.

Thanks to Puchi Collection Tutorials and a book that I purchased to customize blythe. I managed to achieve the basic customization.

To sand matte her, I need Norton 3x Sanding sponges as suggested in Puchi Collection Tutorials, but I could not find here in Singapore. Instead, I brought TAMIYA Finishing Abrasives P2000 to sand matte and a Sanding Sponge No. 500 from a 2 dollar shop (Daiso) here in Singapore to polish her.

I cut them into smaller pieces, test the sand matte result at the back of her head. Once I am satisfied with the result, than I try on her face. I sand matte in a circular motion. Initially you may see a bit of very fine scratches (not coarse scratches!), it is ok. I use the sponge to polish it. Those fine scratches will be gone. Than, I use a clean cotton cloth to polish her face again.


Here's Honey Bunny Blythe in sand-matte skin.

Customizing Blythe - Changing Eyelashes

Blythe anxiously waiting to change on her new set of eyelashes.



As I dare not to remove her scalp, I remove Blythe's eyelashes without opening her scalp. Simply use a cotton wool, soak in a hot water (around 85 degree) and press onto her eye lid on around 3-4 mins. It will loosen the glue that was attached on her eyelashes. After that, use a plyer to pull out bit by bit of her existing eyelashes.



Cut the new eyelashes accordingly and insert into Blythe's eye-lid. Than seal carefully with a super glue.

Here's her new look and I love it ;)
