Lets Talk 1:6 Scale Fashion Dolls

So what is a fashion doll? It's a doll that is shaped like an adult human, as in not a child or baby doll. Before Barbie came out in 1959 most adult dolls were paper, then Ruth Halder (inventor of Barbie)  found the Bild Lilli doll while on holiday in Germany. She returned to the USA and after some back and forth Barbie was created. This is not meant as a history lesson for more details there are books and google. Bild Lilli and a #1 Barbie both from the collection of Louise Scarlett Sinclair Cook   This is more about shape and size So the first Barbie came out in 1959 followed by Ken in 1961 (not my photo) Over the years Barbie and Ken have changed shape a few times, to fit in with the body shapes of that era. There have been other fashion dolls  through the years Sindy(1963) and her boyfriend Paul (1965-1967) then again in the 80's (1987-1989).  Photos by SinkySnap Tressy (1963-1965) with the grow out hair along with others.  (not my photo) Only Sindy has last...

My Mini Baby Nappies (Diapers)

-

 Making My Mini Baby nappies (diapers)   The quick and easy way by using bandage ...self adhesive elastic bandage to be exact.  You do need it to be at least 5cm wide to be able to fit the nappy on.   It comes in a ton of colours and even the odd patterned one. Can be found in Chemists (Pharmacy) Amazon, Temu etc Use a nappy from a My Mini Baby and make a paper template   Pin if you want to the bandage but as the bandage is a little tacky you can trace around the template without a pin. I used a Threaders pen that can be washed out.   Cut it out, you might find you need to trim for best fit   And that's it!

Eyes for My Mini Babies

-
Image
  By   Debra Hornung Zachrich     Tools needed: Sharp exacto knife; tweezers--one curved and one pointed; wire cutter; 2mm white glass head pins; Copic Markers (or other alcohol markers) in your choice of colours. The last photo will show the colours I used for blue, brown, and green eyes. Cut into the eye area along the lash line, point down, with the sharp edge of the knife towards the centre of the eye. Do the same thing on the other side of the eye--2 cuts per eye.   Hold the head so the eyes pull open--they should look like this. If there is some silicone still connected in the middle, cut it now. Use your pointed tweezers if you need to pull of any parts that are sticking out. Cut two of the pins with the wire cutters, leaving about 1/4" (6-7 mm) of the pin.   Using the curved tweezers, insert the pins into the slits you cut. Press them in to see if they are centred where you want them. If not, pull them back out and try again.  ...
