Aye Calypso

This is Calypso, Sea Goddess, captor and lover of Odysseus. This is a OOAK Blythe collaboration doll between me and Amy Taylor



She was a really fun doll to do. She was originally a Simply Lilac. I gave her a mohair reroot in about 5 different shades of blue, green and black. She has a velvet gown that is halter styled and drops down over the hips in a frond-like pattern, bellowing out in voluminous blue and green tulle.



Her jewels are by Amy. She has a sterling silver trident, a fish armband, and a crown with 2 shades of fresh water pearls. Her pull charms are sea glass and silver with pearl. She has a silver-plate caviar dish throne with lime green velvet beaded cushions.



She left today to be her new owner. Aye, aye, Calypso. Gentle seas.

She's a Cool Girl

We still have 5 Cool Girl shirts left for our project For the Love of Blythe.  We are selling these little white teeshirts with a Goldie icon on the front (icon by Rose of Moon Rouge) to raise money for postage for the final stages of our project.  If you want a cool girl shirt, check out the For the Love of Blythe store on etsy.

For the Love of Blythe

I told you all I had a secret project up my sleeve.  It is being launched this week.  It's a Blythe community project involving about 50 artists from all over the globe.  The purpose is to get 7 teams of 7 artists from around the world participating together in creating OOAK Blythe dolls that will be auctioned for charity, with 3 of us, Fanny Zara, Jean Yates and I pulling together a book detailing the project.  Our project is called For the Love of Blythe.  We hope you will follow what we are doing and play dolls with us.  Fanny created a FTLOB Blog to capture highlights.  Please check it out.
