I took some time out today to work on some items I had long been wanting to create. I sold the larger two pink cakes this weekend and they will be packed and shipped off tomorrow. Still have the 1:4 scale blue cake. Today I made about 20 1:4 scale pastries called La Religieuse otherwise known in english as 'The Nun' . It is made famous by Laduree and you may have seen pictures of them that look like this-
Two pastries held together with lots of icing and whipped cream, and usually filled with cream, and oh so delicious. Imagine them in your dolls'hand.
So here is what I made today for my lazy Sybarite Slipper. She is so pampered. I don't imagine she will get to enjoy them too long, judging by how long those cakes stayed around here.
Lots of stuff to blog about today! I'll get to Fourth of July later. But my Grail Doll
I blogged about a couple of weeks ago arrived like, last week, and with the registration dolls taking up so much of my time, and Ellowyne horning in, I just now got around to taking pics of her this morning. Plus I have other stuff to squeeze in here today too.
She is a Barbie Basics Model No. 14 002.5 Collection known as the 'metallic' collection and a Black label doll. The collection I purchased her from had put her on a pivatol Elvis body- yeah! so no having to purchase another doll to body swap her! Thank goodness. I can save my poppy bodies now. I adore her face mold. I am always late to the party on the barbie basics model dolls though I do have a few good ones in my collection, I just haven't rebodied them. She looks so similar to Haunted Beauty if you changed her makeup. I am thinking of dressing her as the White Queen for fun for an Alice tea party dio I have planned in a few days. Stay tuned for that. She needs some 'buttered fingers', lol...watched too much of Tim Burton!
But she needs a name....I am caught between Harper, Tatum(after Tatum O'Neal- I grew up watching her in Paper Moon as a kid,we are almost the same age) or maybe one of my fans here can come up with a cool name. Demi, after Demi Moore who collects dolls would be neat too. This doll looks like a rebel and a great character actress. She's already beginning to clash with the Fashion royalty folks.
Onto the props!I purchased this Ashlawn birdcage shelf at 60% off at Michael's
it was a one day only sale so I got it at about $13 dollars. It was insanely priced too high- at about $34+ no waywould I pay that for it. I figured it would not go any lower than that. It would make a great display shelf for my cakes and mini foods as well as for the vintage flea market diorama or craft fair for the dolls.
I also got the little pot of flowers of lilacs beside it on sale too, for $1.
Here it is filled up.
My new nameless doll declares she's exhausted from having to do the setup by herself. What a drama queen!
I think this is a real versatile little shelf. It will probably also be large enough to put a mannequin in for a dress , hat boxes, shoes and purses for La Belle's, if I move stuff around. I am thinking about painting it and adding some gilding to it at the top to make it more glitzy. Just haven't had time. Maybe add some toile paper to the shelving for the pastries.
I made some 1:4 scale cakes in pink and blue for my 16 inch dolls. This shelf works for them too.
Here is my Slipper Sybarite showing them off.
Enjoy, and have a great holiday weekend!~Lisa
