You all must know by now that I love dolls with expressive faces, whether they be sad, grumpy or in this case pretty forlorn! I don't know why but they appeal to me more than happy dolls....I have had happy smiling faces in the past but they just don't seem to stay here long! Here is an example of one of those who only stayed a short while because his happy open mouth drove me nuts!!!! (Looks like I wasn't the only one who was driven nuts by this little one's constantly open mouth!!!)
So when I saw this gorgeous Dollstown Seola on a DT7 (7 year old style body) for sale on Den of Angels I just had to go for her. I had been watching Ebay and DOA for more than 6 months in case a Dollstown girl came up for sale but the couple that did, were both outside of the EU and I really couldn't afford to pay customs on top of the price of the doll, so when this lovely girl was put up for sale by a seller in the UK, I jumped on her! She came with pink eyes and a mid brown straight wig so I immediately changed her eyes to these brown glass ones and then set about finding the perfect wig for her from my overflowing wig box. You will also see that she has white eyelashes, I think these will eventually go and she'll have natural brown ones.
I finally settled on this Tibetan lambswool wig that I made for my Little Darlings, which is actually too small but because I liked it on her, I decided to adapt it a bit. It still falls off, being a bit small, but I'm working on that!!
Seola will now be known as Mouse after a dear friend of mine who encouraged me to go for her when I showed her the 'for sale' thread!!!
In the photos below she is borrowing a dress and leggings from my Kaye Wiggs girls but today I made her a new dress and will take some more photos soon and share them on here.
I love her delicate waif-like appearance..... (please excuse the stray hairs, it was windy!)
Even Yoda seemed keen on this girl! ;)
Thank you for stopping by today, I hope you're having a great week :)
