Kidz n Cats customs finished....

You may recall that I mentioned several weeks ago now that I was customising two Kidz n Cats dolls for a lady in Switzerland.  Well I finally finished them and sent them off to their new home about two weeks ago.  The owner received them yesterday and thankfully is very happy with how they have turned out.  I thought I would share some photos of the finished results.

The first of the two dolls was Laura, she was released in 2013 I believe and had a very messy synthetic brunette curly wig.....not nice!  So her mum wanted a straight wig with a fringe in a similar colour.  I ordered the Monique Gold Geneva wig in Brown/Black and had to trim the fringe because it was a little long over her eyes, but I left the length at the back as it does give more scope for other styles such as plaits and ponytails.  

This was how she looked when I'd finished all the detailed work....but minus her wig:

Here she is in her default outfit and new wig, completely finished and ready to go home:

These girls come with what I consider are cheap acrylic eyes and not so nice eyelashes, so both have been replaced.  The eyes are good quality glass in deep brown:

And then we have Stine.  Stine was also released in 2013 and I have given her the 'full works' too, she now wears another Monique Gold wig, this time it's a Jojo in Golden Strawberry/Golden Auburn, I again had to tidy up the fringe a little bit because it was over her eyes but this style is meant to be wispy and layered so I left the rest alone.  I have shown it in pigtails in one of the photos below and think it gives her a more 'playful' look :)

For Stine I also used good quality glass eyes in a deep blue and she too is shown below in her default outfit:

And finally both girls together:

Thank you to the 'mum' of these two sweet girls for trusting me to customise them .... I'm really glad that you're happy with their new looks :)

Which colour hair?

Today I finished the majority of a Kidz n Cat makeover that is one of two I've been commissioned to customise.

I have given her blue glass eyes because she came with cheaper blue acrylic but I thought the colour worked well for her.  Her original hair was medium blond but the wig was of a poor quality, very 'synthetic' so I'm also replacing her wig.  Here is a photograph of a default Kidz n Cats Stine, this isn't actually my photo as I forgot to take a before photo...doh!!

Here is the newly customised girl but she is just a head at this point!  I have been trying wigs on her to see which hair colour suits her.  These wigs are not the styles I have in mind, just the colours....I feel that she should stick with lighter colours, such as different shades of blond, but I also like her in the red .... I sent her photos to her 'mum' who has given me her opinion but wants me to make the final choice!!!

The photos aren't great as I took them quickly outside and it was a bit breezy so the hair is everywhere, but I wanted to get true photos of the colours of her face and the hair.

I'd love to hear what everyone thinks about the wig colours....the styles aren't important as these are my wigs and are old.  Once I've made a choice on the colour, then I'll order a new wig for this little girlie to wear to go home in.

And so on to number 2.....
