02 Oct My FIRST Custom OOAK Doll Repaint
I enjoy customising dolls. I find the craft rather therapeutic and the process, well, magical. It is also quite rewarding. Transformations are always fun to watch. Are they transforming to restore or to improve? Would this doll look better with another hair colour or shorter locks? Hmmm. Hair is my speciality. I love styling doll hair. I have also grown to like the tedious task of rerooting. However, I have since mastered this element of doll customisation. There is no doll hairstyle I can’t do! This is why I have decided to finally attempt my FIRST custom OOAK doll repaint. I filmed most of the process to share with you. Learn from my mistakes and be entertained by my lacklustre attempt. Enjoy!
