Wonderful Dolly Day

I had a wonderful Dolly Day with 
and 

Check out their websites, 
Click on their names to view. 

We met at Chynadoll's home. Had pizza, went to the craft store to
pick up some supplies, then the work began. 

This was a learning experience for me. 

I first painted some pots of bushes I had.
(painted the teal pots to gold)
It was great having friends give tips on how to 
paint on plastic.  If I were home alone trying to do this, 
I would have given up. 

This is Donna, 
Chynadoll taught me how to remove all
the hair, and how to flock. Dollz4Moi was there 
helping me. 
Also Chynadoll showed me how she makes 
her doll earrings.  
Chynadoll painted my chair. She gave me the material 
and helped me make a pillow for the chair. 

This is Francesca.
She is a ChynadollCreation! 
Chynadoll gave her to me. 

Donna is loving the new chair. 

It was a fun day.  Learned a lot! You are
never too old to to learn something new. 
I am now a bit more confident that 
I can try some of these new skills on
my own. 
But it's a lot more fun sharing it with doll friends. 

Will be getting together again! 
Pictures will be posted in the future on 
and

  1. That was great that the three of you got together for some dolly fun. Donna looks pretty. Flocking is fun and it gives the dolls such a different look. Lucky you to get Francesca!

  2. Aww! This seems like a lot of fun. I don't have anyone to playdate with. When I show my dolls to my sisters they just eyeball me and shake their heads.

  8. Limbe, It was so much fun. Now I want to learn the best way to reroot a doll. LOL

    Miss_Lola_77 Great idea, maybe we could come up with a list of doll collectors in different areas.

    Thanks Chynadoll, Had a marvelous time. Can't wait to see your two new dollie friends in their new outfits.
    Donna and Francesca are now fighting over the chair. Will have to get some more furniture done.

  9. Thanks Marta, Chynadoll told me that
    acrylic paints work the best. Chynadoll and Dollz4Moi said that you first put on one thin layer of paint, let it dry awhile, then paint it again until you are satisfied with the results.

  10. Looks like you guys had fun. I want to learn to flock too. I am painting things now but I could sure use some advice. You guys will have to bring your show on the road for our first Philly meeting!

  11. We had a wonderful time! Flocking was really easy. Just scalping Donna was the hard part for a first timer. But as time goes by it should get easier.
