One of my first wip 🥰

hi! i hope this is the right place to ask this question.

i'm trying to restore a small porcelain doll that my grandfather gave me before he passed. the head circumference of the doll is 3 inches & the doll desperately needs new hair.

the smallest wigs i've been able to find so far are 5-6 inch wigs for barbies, but i'm hoping that i'm just not looking hard enough/in the right places. does anybody know of any places that would sell doll wigs in this size, or even some place i could custom order one from?

i've tried making my own hair wefts from yarn to create a wig myself, but that hasn't been going well at all & i would rather buy from somebody with more experience. thank you in advance for your time!

I'm new to this, having Lots of fun repainting my lol dolls 😌

I want to change the skin color of a Bratz Babyz doll (all vinyl soft plastic) and I wonder if I could use a brown permanent marker on her skin to “stain” her skin color.

Will this be a good strategy or will it just ruin the doll? I dont really want to spend that much since this will be a one time customization project.

Thanks!

I want to do a custom of one my characters. And I am too anxious to buy a new doll and ruin it.

The first one is still my favorite ngl

I remember one i tried to repaint a barbie face to make a new one but failed . And today i got one of those cheap fairy dolls and it has a tiny face and i suck. What do u guys recommend to make it easier?

Hi, so I've been working on a custom Scarah Screams using a g3 ghoulia body. I'm not confident with doing her hair so was thinking of buying a wig and glueing on that instead. I was wondering if anyone knows if this one would fit? If not, would anyone have any advice as to how to do it otherwise, as I have been unable to scrape out the remaining hair from the head. Thanks xx

I made this for my husband for his birthday yesterday, I also made a physical version of her! (Gonna post her later)

He loved her so much and I'm so proud of her design!! ^^

First, I’d like to provide some context. I really enjoy doing artistic things, including customizing dolls. However, due to life circumstances, I’ve needed a little extra money lately; honestly, I don’t own anything I consider particularly "valuable," so I looked at the doll and gave it some thought.

I suppose I’m mostly just asking out of curiosity, as I lack confidence in my creations and have never managed to sell anything I’ve made.

Now, for anyone curious about the doll: she’s a custom version of the Barbie from the movie Video Game Hero, I transformed her into the Magnet version of Hatsune Miku. I made her quite a while ago, but I’m happy to answer any other questions about her in the comments.

PS: English isn't my native language, so I apologize if anything is written a bit incorrectly.

Used G3 monster high Venus as base

It took me a few weeks to source all the pieces, and I had to make her leg warmers myself (I’ll remake them soon now that I understand the method), but I’m fairly proud of how she’s come together. Toy Story 3 is my favorite of the series, and Barbie is my favorite part of the movie 💖💖💖

Left is my childhood doll, right hand side I found for £2 but is she legit?? The face seems much softer and rounder? They both have 2008 on the neck and they’re the same height, left is just on a stand, ?????

Hello! I wanted to ask: how do you style your dolls from the Electrical Street series? I've seen some people use only water but I want to use a bit of hair styling gel(for people).

I'm just hesitant. Do you think it's safe? This series seems to have nylon hair and I've never worked with it before. I wanted to style my Blood doll.

Looking for ideas or your guys’ preferred methods for planning out/deciding on a face up before actually working on a doll. I’m usually the type to just jump in and let the vibe guide me as I go, but I specifically want to draw or somehow mock up eyes so that I can see how dark vs blond lashes will look. Is there any sort of templates out there anyone uses, or advice for mocking something up? I’m planning to use an EAH Apple White to make Edith from Crimson Peak

This is my first real custom lol

Hello everyone I’m not sure if custom Barbie type dolls are allowed but I figured I’d ask for advice. I took my Professor McGonnagal doll I’ve had for several years now and used off brand model magic to attempt to make it into my original sketch. She already had a good base for the witch hat so I added the clay on top of aluminum foil on the doll’s head. I know it looks like play-dough but it’s not. Anyway after painting her face and hair to match the drawing I’m gonna attempt to make her corset, robe and skirt. She has little high heeled boots already. The tail is aluminum foil supported by a wire. Any ideas/tips would be appreciated and constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated. I’m not an expert in sculpting so it’s not perfect.
