So this weekend is the first bank holiday for the UK. Three days off work instead of the normal weekend - yay! While I have a lot of non doll stuff to do I'm hoping to get a bit more of the upcoming story equipment made. It's been somewhat manic here this last week, trying to do double work in some cases because of the missing work day from next week that I haven't had much time for dolls. What's slowing the process down is the need for eight pairs of black shoes, which in making terms is sixteen little shoes to be created - yike.
In other news I finally managed to find Tye a body to match her head. Mattel made a few Kelly/lil friends with the jointed bodies. The only one I was able to get ahold of before was the 'jumping fun' one where all the joints are very loose because the doll was designed to move as she was jumping. We got around that by putting a couple of tiny rubber bands around the knee joints to stabilise them, but that didn't help with the fact that her head is a darker colour than the body. She's finally got one to match thanks to Loanne at Tabloach Productions. Woot
So hopefully I will have time to do some dolly stuff this weekend, in the meantime have a piccy of Tye with her new body saying 'Happy May!
