it's the funny big head doll again! along with my picture-a-day milestone last month, i recently had another big blythe accomplishment--a year of mini magazines. little bitty magazine parodies are one of my gifts to the hobby, a way to chronicle the things i've learned, the pictures i've taken, and the people i've met. it's also a meeting of a few of my favorite things--dolls, photography, photoshop, and paper. plus, the sale of them helps fund my affinity for vintage skipper! you may have noticed a collection of the covers on the wall of my studio, but they actually started off as pictures to share on flickr and then mini magazines with which to take more pictures. i shared the first couple on my blog last year, and while i've had a steady stream of both lucky-blythe and blythe-living since, modeled after their real life counterparts, the two that made me bounce the most are the special issues...
how could i resist a saints' sports illustrated re-make when mignon realized the little decorative helmet i'd purchased to put on a table actually fit the big head? so fun last winter! and when a couple of flickr friends got engaged, the idea of blythe-weddings kept bugging me until i came across the perfect dress on etsy, created by a fellow collector/dolly seamstress. total love! i haven't had enough time lately to really keep up to date, but i'm close and eventually i will catch up. even so, it's another milestone worth celebrating!
