I made these for my mom for mothers day <3
*metal hoops, embroidery thread, seed beads, feathers.

*update! adding more pics daily with progress!!*

So I didn't really like these dolls, until I found out they where so highly respected in the doll community. I checked out a few at eBay & my local stores, I fell in love!! The articulation and customization blew me away! I bought 3 dolls to keep original (Ghouls Alive Frankie is sooo cool! And Skelita, and the Ghoulia with her scooter!) I am currently trying to customize two 'create-a-monster dolls, and tons of random heads and limbs, tho I am having trouble with the faces.. I tried sealers, pastels, acrylics, water color pencils, ect, but nothing seems to work right for me. any suggestions?!? I'm still doing tons of research. I can't wait to make some wigs, and eventually re-root hair! This will be a huge project for me but I am very excited! So while I'm waiting for the right faces, I'm working on a few clothing items.. I hope you enjoy them, these are all hand sewn, and hand dyed!
sorry these pics are so small. for skelita I made this Spanish  red rose "dress", it is actually separates, a top, skirt and shoulder ruffle, that can be worn on 1 shoulder/both, or not at all. Black felt hat has a tiny mesh veil with tiny fabric flowers, hand made.

the Spanish skull hair comb from polymer, and the veil is lace, the skirt is fabric marker on velvet baroque fabric, felt handbag, and beaded bracelets, the top and shoes are monster high.



I want to make this girl a Japanese Lolita girl! I made the beanie, skirts, petticoat, backpack, ruffle blouse and beaded bracelets, and painted her nails.

yarn wigs, hair fancies, polymer clay charms, collars, ect!








And some random skirts, Victorian skirt can be synched, hats with snaps underneath, purses, bows, ribbons, beanies & Lolita accessories :


I also have a purple fishy girl with fins that my boyfriend wants me to turn into a WaveDancer from Elf quest! Can't wait to start on her!

kanekalon hair wig, beaded crowns, shell embellishments, can't wait to make clothes for her!

I made a tiny replica of the backpack I got @ SoulFlower.com

*THANKS for making this a featured project!!*
I made all of these over the past 3 years. Most of these are thrift store XL shirts.
All are completely hand sewn! almost all have pockets!

O.K. so here's the Jelly fish dress, made out of 2 thrifted jellyfish shirts


I made this dress from a thrifted shirt, I did some ribbed detail on the front, and added a doily to the back, and gave it a pocket.


This dress was made from a StarWars shirt I got at Disneyland!!! I made the hood and sinched skirt part from another thrifted grey shirt. this is a great fall/winter dress!It has a small pocket with the rebel alliance logo.



This dress is made from a Frankenstien shirt from WalMart. I installed all the snaps down the back, tie, black studs, and added a pocket made form the neckline.



Here's the Glow skull dress! It's made of tons of thrifted black shirts, most of the pieces on this dress glow-in-the-dark, but I found it impossible to get pictures of it in action!  this dress has some Adult themes "spawn 'till you die".. I also hand-studded some diamonds onto the skulls to give them Monroe piercings!this dress has a pocket.



This is the Skull/Bones dress, its made of a thrifted shirt that had different skulls on the front and back, I made the top (bust) out of a sleeve of the shirt, and added the corset buckles and studs to the front and back!




Here's My "Punk Lace" dress, I did the lace back and cut-outs by hand. Dress has a pocket.


Leo DaVinci dress, made this for the Renaissance fair! from a thrifted shirt, it has a pocket on 1 of the flower petal skirt pieces.


And finnaly, this corset is just made form XXL shirt sleeves, you can tell by the way they are cut, I put in some cable ties for boning, and the "ribbon" is made from a shirt as well.. It actually works very well!


In case you cant see the details, here's a better pic.

('true life secrets' shirt reads "And just what must I do to get those?!")

by the way, designer Angela Johnson sells these for hundreds of dollars!?

anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LOOKING! <3

(Alice has kinda become a theme for Me)
I bought this book with the intention of just using it all for Decor and crafts.
I actually did these boxes first, from the pages of this book:
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=421773.0;topicseen#axzz2PlLyeV9B
 I got the book for $3 and the fabric for $1.50, I liked it because it looked like writing paper and the floral I picked out was horridable. The letter beads where bought for around $5 and I made colored beads from polymer clay. The handles read "Alice In Wonderland" and "A Merry Unbirthday"..Because they needed to be about the same number of beads. I think the golden spine is cute.





I used this tutorial for the Purse,
http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Book-Purse
I bent a wire hanger for the handles and I'd like to ad a pocket.

THNX<3

*EDIT* *see what I did with the book cover here*

I bought these wooden boxes,
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Plaid-Hinged-3-Piece-Box-Set-with-Tray/22086201?adid=1500000000000037938180
and an Alice Goldenbook, totaling under $10, modpodged book pages and decorated with random Alice things I have... (I made the mushroom and rose out of polymer,too bad the mushroom looks like a clown nose, I spent some time working on the inner ribs of it!)
 the story goes in order. I used too much colored glitter, but it doesn't show up well in photos.

I was about 10 in My previous attempt at making one of these.
supplies:sewing hoop (Walmart doesn't have those big wire rings!?)
sparkle silver yarn, I strung beads onto the twine before webbing, originally I had made this with a deep blue twine, but it snapped after I finished! Now it has maroon twine web,
1Hr and $5 later..it looked too plain, so I wrapped around my peacock necklace and earrings and a leather cord headband I made a few years ago

I just finished these flowery dread beads! I also had to make a Mickey!
they are about a 1/2inch-1.5inches big.
(see my past posts for other hair and beads!)

my sister and I rival over who has the best LEGO displays.. So, my wonderful boyfriend got me a new shelf for my LEGO collection and a dresser that I desperately needed!!
 while assembling the Lego shelf, my guy ends up putting the top piece on the bottom, and the whole thing is already nailed together with back piece holding it too well.
 He apologized, but I just saw a new craft project! I'll cover the top to match the room we are redoing anyway! I just happened to buy a ton of new paper for doing to backs and tops of shelf's, I already have a black & turquoise theme room so I thought I'd keep this white and black.

 


obviously the Lego's have been smashed to bits from redoing the room, I'll have to post pics when the whole beach scene is set up!!
 here's the rest of my room

I wanted to try these out for my grandmothers birthday card, I used this tutorial:
http://www.youaremyfave.com/2012/05/08/wind-up-paper-butterflies-are-my-fave-guest-post-from-amelia/
thru trial and error I found the best way to make these work it to use 20 gauge wire, really make the loops flat and use two tiny rubber bands to help the tension.
they flutter great! I cant wait to send them!

I made these dreads with synthetic yarn. I am thinking about adding these leopard felt pieces?
