WAY BACK WHEN

I attended the Sasha Celebration Weekend I collected a non Sasha doll that I had been paying off for.
She is a bjd doll by Kaye Wiggs, I already had one girl , Elfine , who I just love as she fulfills my love of fairies, elves and magic and although she tends to sit around alot , she always comes to life once she's taken down to play with.

When I first became aware of these Kaye Wiggs dolls, it was through a doll called Izzy but these dolls sell quickly and are only made for a short period before another dolls is sculpted.

So when I saw an Izzy being sold by another Sasha member and that layaway was possible I was in as quick as possible, it then took me a while to pay for her but finally I was ready to collect her.

Here she is sitting on our hotel bed , still wrapped to protect her face.

She came without her eyes in and with her factory face paint.

I thought I had taken a photo of her without her wrapping but if I did I cannot find it. But you can see that she has black paint around her eyes  which also defined her nose and mouth.

So after a chat with Sharon, her head was removed and it traveled to Spain so that the very talented Sharon could give her what is know as a Face Up! Meaning she would remove the factory paint and repaint her in a more natural manner.

** Sharon took some photos before she started on her so here they are.

You can see the dark painting detail round her eyes and nose.

I especially did not like the black around the nose and in the mouth.

So Sharon removed all this black and other paint and restarted.


So her head arrived home on Monday, so today I put it back on her body , found her some clothes and a wig and here she is.

we went out into the only shady spot in the garden the lych gate.

She is still finding her style , so will try a few other wigs etc over the coming months.

Also eye colour's

It's a bit too hot for me, an amateur, to be removing and replacing her eyes! So that can wait but Sharon has done a beautiful job on her face giving her a much more natural look.

She was finding shade where ever she could!

She plays with the Nasturtiums.

 Meeting the garden guards.

making friends

Chatting!

a cheeky look!

So I am very happy to finally have this girl who will be a friend for Elfine , I hope! and also my Sasha family.
