 This post isn't late... it's 5:00 somewhere. Hi! So! I wasn't going to post this week.... *but* I repainted little miss Nellie in the middle of the night last night (midnight inspo hit, idk what else to say), and I took a few pictures of her today which I thought were kinda cute... so ya! I'm honestly kinda obsessed with her new repaint??? I think the lips look better. (this is how she looked before, just for references sake) Anyway! Ya! Here y'all go (Idk how the random fence posts made the cut, but... maybe quantity is better than quality? 😂)  and that's all for this week  - RestlessRoseDolls 

post requests (?)

Hi guys! This is a post just to share that I don’t have a post for this week (😂) and to ask if you have any requests for future posts? Dolls in my collection that you’d love to see more of, or sets you’d like me to photograph/make (I am willing to do sets with floral or books, but please, don’t ask for me to construct a doll bedroom. Literally everything else is fair game) I can also do tattoo tours if that’s of interest too! Or photos with my Effanbee and vintage dolls, because lets face it, they’re underrated 😂 If you’re not completely burnt out on new dolls/restoration/repaint posts, I can have one of those up on Sunday 😂 I also plan to dye another doll this weekend, which I could turn into a blog post for next Friday, if you’re interested   Just lmk :)  I have way too many dolls, so way too often some of them disappear in the shadows  But! There are endless possibilities, and requests are officially open ♡ have a great weekend!  As always, thanks for reading...

Customizing AG Hi guys!  So... I don't really know what I'm doing with my post this week, but I thought I'd throw together some, by my definition, simple, and subjectively cute ways to customize dolls!  *my initial post for this week just never got done… JLY #24 is going to be the death of me*  I've been repainting dolls for a few years, so my definition of simple might be different from yours, though I really did try to be "simple" #1   The first customization technique I ever used was freckles, initially with a toothpick, but then splatter freckles became my absolute fave.   Here is Miss Tenley, I alternated between splatter and intentional with her, I think she’s got about four layers of freckles  #2 adding teeth was the second thing I think I've ever done, which, idk, some people don't like it, I personally really vibe with it.   *I’ve learned it does not look good on Josefina molds though, just a friendly tip* #3 literally so simple, but...
