Well, she's not perfect,
but she's the first reroot I've ever done :)
I gave her face a good scrub (she was one dirty girl)
trimmed all her hair off and rerooted her.
I had *meant* to trim her hair in the
Toki Doki barbie style...
but I haven't been able to bring myself to cut more
than just the bangs yet, LOL.
I may just do another one,
since I found those other two Steffie heads,
and I really like the Toki Doki girl with that sly
Summer Steffie style eye.
Left: How she started, Right: After my reroot
Then, not being a fan of her uber pink lips with the pink hair
(they were even more pink than they show up in the reroot pic)
and also not being a fan of her line-line-line eyebrows,
I enhanced her faceup:
I gave her more solid eyebrows, made her lips a more natural pink,
gave her more blush and evened out the black in her eyes.
I hope you like her!
Do you accept commissions?
ReplyDeleteNot yet... I'm not that good, lol. The whole reroot thing, yeah, *lots* of room for improvement. Like... lots. LOL!!!
DeleteWow Heather the reroot is amazing and it looks totally perfect to me :)
ReplyDeleteI just did ny very first reroot too on my middie blythe doll and it took me forever :) It's worth it though when you see the difference. I love the beautiful pink colour you chose!! Hugs xx
Thank you so much! How do you reroot a blythe? I've seen people do a sort of looping them all together, one plug holds the next one kind of thing... or do you use knots? I've got a Blythe myself and I've always pondered rerooting her... but it looks insane!!! Also, do you have a pic, I'd love to see her!!
DeleteI hope this is the first of many more re-roots. There are so many dolls that need a day at the spa! You have breathed new life into her. Super cute! Her hair looks nice long like that. Another girl will have to be your faux-ki doki! Great job Heather.
ReplyDeleteI agree, this girl wants her long hair... plus this pink is not quite vibrant enough for a Faux-ki doki XD (I love the name)... and thank you! Yup... I've been bitten by the reroot bug... I'm ordering more hair today, LOL!
DeleteLooks perfect to me! Great job. : )
DeleteThank you!
DeleteWow! She looks so much happier now!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try my hand at rerooting for awhile now. I have the hair set aside and everything! I had a bad experience with the person I bought the doll hair from though so I put the whole thing on the back burner. Maybe I need to pull it back out again soon. I just love how it transforms the whole doll!
I say pull it out and give it a try, it was so much fun watching it all come together, (although a bit terrifying at what I call the "Bald Clown" stage... I worked my way from the outside in... which leaves the top of her head with no hair for a long time... scary stuff, LOL)
DeleteWho did you order hair from? It would be good to know who isn't so good.
You did a wonderful job! I suggest you keep at it.
ReplyDeleteI ordered more hair today... and already have hair for the next two heads I want to do 0_0
DeleteLooks like you've done a great job! She looks a lot happier with the light pink hair too, it really suits her.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was really a lot of fun, and I'm excited to try the next one!
DeleteI do like her! A really excellent job! I love it when people take older dolls and give them a new look.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a definite talent there, she looks so much better after than before. Hopefully, we'll see even more of these in the future.
ReplyDeleteWow! She looks good! I saw her on FB and did not know that was you lol! Great job!
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful! The reroot you've done suits her face so perfectly.
