My restoration dolls continued!

[milleniumgypsy]

So last night and today I finished cleaning them up! I think that at least a couple of them will be good candidates for face painting (Cleo has a rub in her eyeshadow and Duece has rubs on his eyebrows and a rub on his bottom lip), but after cleaning off all of the paint/marker/nail polish/whatever that was they were all perfect! I took a closer picture of a couple of the messiest dolls. Technically Frankie was by far the worst, but since I was a little nervous about scrubbing off the face paint with the gunk with the Magic Eraser, I did her first since she was already in the worst shape (broken neck peg and missing legs!). I forgot to take a picture first.



Here they are after all the scrubbing! They turned out better than I'd even hoped! Lagoona had paint on her cheeks and I was afraid I would scrub off her freckles. I didn't!


Then I decided to put them in some of the clothes that came with them in the garage sale box. Duece is only missing his glasses I think! Cleo has her shoes and part of her top. Clawdeen has her dress, shoes, and accessories, but the dress needs sewing. Frankie has her belt, purse, and dress- the dress is ripped down both sides though. Venus had her pants and shoes, There was an extra Lagoona shirt that I paired with those. Lagoona just had one shoe otherwise. I have an extra pair of brown boots, a guys pair of shorts, a guys pair of jeans, and the rest of the clothes are for Barbie. The pink dress I have on Lagoona is for Barbie, but it actually fits pretty well and it's so pretty. n_n The lacey robe I think will be really pretty on top of something that I haven't quite figured out yet (I'm not sure what it's from?). Lala only had her earrings and shoes. xD


Now that the most important cleaning is done, I'll have to wait to really go further with them. I need to get up monies to buy MSC for face-ups and also to pick up dolly hair for rerooting.

Cleo is the doll most in need of a reroot because of the damaged tinsel in her hair. The tinsel looks like it had a thread core? It's all white and fuzzy, and that doesn't look very nice. For now I think I'll just look into how to detinsel her.

Maybe you could find the mermaid CAM pack for Frankie?

Good find - I'm sure you can do something amazing with them. ^_^

The mermaid cam is actually the first thing I thought of! xD But it comes with a head, and then I'd have another floating head... That's why I thought maybe a centaur or something else that I can make myself, but the CAM pack is certainly an option! I'm sure I could figure out something to do with the extra head. n_n

I am thrilled that they turned out so well! Just in case it ever comes up, that Deuce also came with a belt (not that he needs it!) and I think that's Mad Science Lagoona (who I feel has a BEAUTIFUL face.)

Also, I love that pink dress. It looks Greek, and that's awesome. MH needs more Greek fashion (why isn't Deuce all over that?)

[invsagoth.livejournal.com]

I am too! I was most afraid of staining and that wasn't an issue, so yay!

Yeah, after I'd posted I was like "I wonder if he had a belt...", then I remembered watching an episode this morning where he had a chain necklace too. Still, he had all of his clothing and his shoes, so I am very happy! xD With the exception of Clawdeen, Duece ended up having the most complete outfit out of everyone, and that's exciting!

I realized too later that was probably the Mad Science Lagoona once I realized what the two clothing pieces were from. xD I mixed up the Lagoona extra shirt with the sea monster CAM shirt when I first pulled it out, so I was basing what I thought she was on the elastic leg connectors (so early MH) and that I thought the science Lagoona had side swept bangs (which she kinda does, but they're not actual bangs, but that's where my confusion came in heh).

That pink dress is really pretty! Maybe we just need more Greek monsters? Maybe a girl would be more likely to have fun outfits. n_n

Yay Deuce! Maybe he has a sister we don't know about that could have some awesome Greek outfits... They do have that gorgon CAM, after all.

I grabbed my Lagoonas and compared their makeup to your picture, lol. I really REALLY like Mad Science Lagoona, so when I saw her in a closer shot something pinged in my mind.
