It’s all about the hat…..
I love hats. I love to photograph these diminutive fashion ladies in hats. If there is a cool hat with an outfit….I’m usually buying it. When the recent royal wedding festivities were on, I tuned in….to see the hats! In fact, it was the royal wedding that gave me some ideas. I had seen these scrapbooking fabric flowers in my local craft store recently and I thought “ Hmmmmm, I wonder if these would work as a hat?” They do! Or at least I think they do. You can find these online under “scrapbooking fabric embellishments” or “fabric flowers”.
Here is Ms. Poppy Parker to model my repurposed hat. I imagined her out on the terrace before a formal wedding.
Model: Restyled Pillow Talk Poppy Parker
White Suit: Fashion Royalty Monogram Incandescent
New Sneaks!
Mattel has finally released photos to verify the Grace Kelly Trousseau Silkstone giftset and the new Silkstone Francie is finally revealed.
It looks like the photos that showed up on a retail site earlier this year were accurate. The Grace Kelly trousseau giftset will have the floral gown she met Prince Rainier for the first time in and the navy coat, dress and white hat that she wore on her honeymoon. I am really excited for this set to be available. It appears that the Hermès Kelly bag that was originally going to be with it will NOT be included. That is a bit of a bummer but oh well. I could understand that Hermès is most likely not willing to let that be copied even if it was in 1/6 scale. It would have been perfect though.
This Grace Kelly Silkstone set should be available in October and will retail for around $160.00
Silkstone Francie is finally revealed
Okay….I admit….I have never been a big Francie fan. This lady, however, is CUTE! She will be coming home to my collection. LOVE the little dog with her.
She is scheduled to arrive in September and will retail for around $90.00
I have been busy photographing living dolls…….
I know it has been a little while since I have posted new material. I love photographing 1:6 scale ladies. I also love to photograph ballet and dance . My daughter and the rest of the students at her dance school have been working very, very hard for many months to put on their end of the school year recital. The performances were this past weekend and I was simply blown away by the talent and love of dance that I witnessed. I was lucky to be allowed to snap a few shots during dress rehearsal. Now that dance is over for the summer, I look forward to getting back to into the fashion doll studio.
Bogue’s Vogues Vendredi–Mellow Yellow
I am pulling from the archives here to satisfy a Bogue’s Vogues Vendredi. I have had these photos posted on my Flickr account for a while but have not posted them on my blog. I just love High Tea and Savories in this gown. I think the blue flowers really bring out the blue in her eyes much better than her original brown dress does. I love this design of James Bogue in particular and I have a number of versions in different colors.
Model: High Tea and Savories Silkstone Barbie
Dress: Bogue’s Vogues ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/boguesvogues )
Will be working on new photos soon….as soon as ballet recital season is done
