A solution to the large rotary tool might be a smaller nail dremel. It's essentially the same thing but smaller, with a bit less power, and more pointed/precise tips. I've been pretty happy with mine.

I also want a mini-me doll. I decided not to commission because it is not fair to ask an artist to "replicate" me and their vision of me may not be how I see myself. I'm just browsing and if a doll looks like me by fluke then it's meant to be. 😂
@lifeinboston10120 күн бұрын
I love her! I really like her lips. I laughed out loud twice in this video - very rare for me! First was when you refused to spend anymore money on epoxy or supplies on her. Second was "damage control" 😂
@TheDollCoven19 күн бұрын
Haha, glad I amuse! I'm so happy/relieved that the eyelids turned out okay. It was my first time using nail art stickers on top of nail polish, so I wasn't sure if it'd adhere . I did put sealant over top the lids when done. I had also considered commissioning a mini me but decided not to for similar reasons! And we share the same strategy: If we come across one that bares a resemblance, then that's a sign! Until then, Mini Not Me, it is 🤣
@MarchPaynesMidlifeDollyCrisis20 күн бұрын
I think you did a really good job on your Mini Not Me. The carving looks quite subtle on the face, even the lips which are fuller have a great shape but don't look over done. Really like the eye chips that you used too - I thought that the black ones might look a bit much but they actually really suit her. The main thing that I've noticed with people and their mini mes is that they NEVER look alike.

The idea of face carving terrifies me. I stress out enough even trying to open the Blythe heads as I'm always convinced I'm going to break them. Simone does look a lot more natural after the redo so it's great that you were able to dial her face back a bit. The "gagging" Pixling reminds me of the cat coughing meme, so maybe it's their homage to that?
@TheDollCoven22 күн бұрын
Ha, the cat coughing meme--that Pixling does look like that! I now dub it a gagging cat 🐱😆 I'm definitely leaving face carving for the seasoned customizers in the future. It stresses me out/frustrates me too much 🤣

I don't have a Pullip, but there was one that I've been keeping my eye on, I just don't know if I want to fall down into another doll rabbit hole at the moment.

I have 2 pixlings so far (Deerly and one of the fairies). I think they are adorable but the bloody potion bottles put me off buying more. I opened them without using the gimmick so I will give the bottles and potion kits to the charity shop. 2 Pixlings are enough for me right now.

I feel cheated, I was hoping for some proper swearing and there was hardly any! I feel like the "unboxings" of these are so over the top, but I guess it's part of the gimmick and I'm sure kids love them. If it was me I would be tempted just to unscrew the top and avoid the whole water/liquid stuff which never goes well imo. As for the Pixlings themselves, I am trying not to get any because I don't need another doll line in my life, but I do really like Catlyn and the one who looks like a deer from the first wave of dolls.
