Two new Sashas: Elise and Samantha

Two new customized Sashas, Elise and Samantha, are now on Ebay in my Etsy shop.  (Click on their names to go to their listings and see more images.)

Elise is the dark-haired girl with blue/purple eyes. She has kind of a wistful look, as her eyes are somewhat side-glancing and she seems to be gazing off into the distance. (Note: I have moved her over to Ebay for more exposure.)

Samantha is the blonde with hazel eyes. Originally a platinum blonde, her hair has been dyed to more of a caramel color.

New Sasha Dolls in Progress

Here are three Sasha dolls with all of their face paint removed before I started working on them. The one with very pale hair - it looks white in this photo! - will probably have her hair dyed red. Stay tuned for a link to my Etsy shop when they're done!

Jolene: Newest custom Sasha

Well, here she is - brunette Sasha doll with repainted brown/golden eyes! She's available on Etsy (with more info there):

Magazine Feature & New Sasha on her Way....

I'm pleased to announce that my custom Sashas have been featured in the June 2012 Sasha Secrets magazine out of Great Britain!

Some of my dolls are featured in this summer issue, and they have said that they would like to feature more in their autumn issue! Here is the link to Sasha Secrets UK website: www.sashasecrets.co.uk

I am also working on a new custom Sasha doll, and thought I would share an image of her with her original paint removed and before her new paint was applied. She's a lovely brunette who will soon have a new personality!  I'll post new images when she's ready.

Florence: new custom Sasha on Etsy!

It's been some time since I've been in the doll world, but I wanted to let everyone know that I have a new customized Sasha doll available on Etsy!

Florence on Etsy

Formerly a blonde, she's had her hair dyed shades of red and auburn and her eyes delicately painted green. She wears a cotton dress printed with tiny brown flowers.

For comparison, here's a photo of Florence together with an original blonde Sasha, factory painted with templates. 

Let me know if you have any questions!

November Dolls Magazine!

The November Dolls Magazine is now online, and I'm featured in an article titled "Extreme Makeover: Artists show off their doll transformations" by Stephanie Finnegan! She told me in an email that they had so much positive response to the article last year that they wrote a follow-up.

 

Above is a scan of my part of the article (click to see it larger). Featured is my "Butterfly" doll complete with wings. Go to the Dolls Magazine online edition to read the whole article.The Makeover article starts on page 16; my doll is on page 20.

And don't forget to visit my Etsy Shop to see my available dolls!

Kiandra and Demetria: two new customized Sashas now on Etsy!

Demetria and Kiandra: customized Sasha dolls

I've just finished two new customized Sasha dolls! Been a really long time since I've done any of these, and I'm pretty pleased with the way they came out.  They're both repainted, rewigged, and I made their dresses with fabric carefully chosen to complement their coloring.

Demetria

Demetria is a customized Sasha doll with long strawberry-blond hair and eyes in shades of brown and gold. Her name refers to Demeter, the Greek goddess of corn and the harvest.

You can find here for sale here on Etsy with more information:

Kiandra

Kiandra is a customized Sasha doll with long black hair and eyes in shades of very pale blue. Her name means "water baby" and "magical" and I think she has somewhat of a magical look to her. 


Here's her Etsy link where you can read more:
