Bumpy Head

Dear Jill,

Thank you for the pointers on the tiny scalps, it was really useful! I checked the full tutorial out and it makes me want to customise a Petite Blythe now!

I managed, with some difficulty, to scalp Nicky on Sunday night. It was so fiddley getting to the roots on the inside of the head, and it was parted all weird too (you remember what her fringe looked like!). This is what the scalp looks like without hair...

Look at all the massive holes! That line, unbelievably, was her parting!


Note the odd bump at the top of the scalp. Weird...


And I did similar to what the tutorial said - I clipped off alot of the manky plastic to make a bigger hole, whilst not taking it too far.

I have so far plugged the parting and the bottom 2 rows of hair. More pictures to come when I have finished!

PS - I love the Rosie Apple and Friends blog! What a great idea to have your Blythe write for it sometimes!

Scalps

Dear Sarah,

I'm really excited to see what Nicky is going to look like when she's finished! I think the Plummy is going to be great, and I think an updo will be good as well, seeing has she has such a large forehead! Wonder what they did that for. (?)

If you haven't started already, I found a tutorial on customizing petites and the scalp opening looks similar:

She uses the Xacto knife to cut that part of the scalp off, being careful not to cut all the way through:

Hope it helps, at least for next time!

I also found a great new Blythe blog, Rosie Apples and Friends. Sometimes her girl Parkin blogs! Definitely check it out!

Reroot Weekend

Dear Jill,

I am loving Corals new Milky Way Blythe eyechips! They really do go well with her hair, and also her personality! Can't wait to see them on her!

I also really like your choice of CoolCat Chips, such lovely colours! When I've ordered from CoolCat before it hasn't taken too long for my items to arrive, so hopefully you should get them soon and have your Customization Weekend!

I'm having a bit of a customization weekend of my own - tonight I am going to scalp Nicky, my Basaak Blyh! She came to me looking like this...


...and now looks like this...


I plan on taking her hair out (which will be tricky - look at the scalp opening!!) and reroot her with some Sirdar Supersoft Aran yarn, in Plummy. I think I am going to cut it long, and put it in an up-do. Wish me luck!
