🍋80s Doll Redesign: Giving Lemon Meringue a Cottagecore Makeover

[@louisebrown3121]

I love her . Her hair is beautiful. I love accessories you made! Overall a beautiful doll. Great work.

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you so much!

I was a rather feral child and spent most of my time barefoot in the woods...however I also LOVED - My Little Pony (I still have one of the original Spinkles though I cut of the tail and mane), Shera, Rainbow Bright, Jem, Care Bears! I'm loving this theme of old school characters, my childhood was the best time of my life and the 80's gives me good happy vibes. She is so cute and that Rainbow Bright doll "Chef's Kiss!"

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

100% with you! Those were some of my favs as well. A few years ago my daughter and I even cosplayed as She-Ra and Evil-Lyn for WonderCon. I feel like 80s art, music, movies and fashion need to make a resurgence. I can use some of those feel good vibes.

[@DancingJohari]

omg! I love how she came out!!! Lemon Merangue was my favorite of the Strawberry Shortcake dolls, and your Lemon Merangue looks just awesome! She's beautiful and her little picnic looks so tasty too!♥

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you so much! I am so glad you like her 🥰

[@christineingram55]

She’s absolutely Stunning,and very summery .I love her outfit and accessories too.Especially the miniature Lemon Meringue pie,it’s so realistic and perfect 🥰

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@marieb9926]

I loved the Strawberry Shortcake smell, too. Fast forward to adulthood circa early 2000s, I bought my girls a SS tv, and it had the SS smell. I think I was more excited than they were 😂.

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Its crazy how things come around like that. My daughter's watch list when she was young was pretty much the same as mine as a kid Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Ponies, Carebears

[@aquariusrose5621]

This was amazing! I used to watch this show as a kid when we went to video rental shop...only had three of them but they were fun! (I'm a 90's kid, so the videos were hard to find to own) Hope you do Lemon's animal friend as well.

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thanks! I don't have many memories of the actual cartoon but the dolls stand out really clearly to me.

[@cloud.nebula7928]

Sooooo cute 🥰 I love the sun kisses vibes. Cottagecore has been slowly gaining my love and respect. Especially on dolls. 😅 keep up the amazing art

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thanks! I really wish I was more of a dress girl because there are so many cute cottagecore dresses.

[@MYOCHROM]

So cute! I am obsessed with all those accessories, especially the cake and the drinks 😍 Can't wait to see more strawberry shortcake characters!

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you so much!

[@JoLuna999]

I LOVE the hair and dress! I need a dress like that in my size🤩

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thanks! I really wish I was more of a dress girl because I would seriously considering making one for myself!

[@kerovana]

I do the same thing with Chik Fil A straws 😂 my husband thinks I’m insane, but they’re honestly the perfect size.

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Yes they are!

[@StrawberrySunday212]

She is beautiful! That re-root must've took you days! What I love about you is you make your own clothes for your dolls rather than someone else doing it for you. 🩷

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you so much! It really did take days to finish it, those EAH heads are massive. I may not be the greatest seamstress but I take pride in doing as much as I can myself.

[@kelleyhawk6595]

She is so pretty!!! I hope u will make longer videos in the future!!! Really enjoy watching u work!!! 😊Kelley from North Carolina 😊

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you so much!!

[@lachauntiswashington231]

She looks beautiful.💛🍋 I can't wait to see Orange Blossom. 😊❤ one of my childhood cartoons I liked was the early 2003 MLP. I don't know if I saw any TV series, but I loved the books and had a few toys. A few years later, I watched my little pony tales on KZbin

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you so much! I am not familiar with the early 2000s MLP. I went straight from the 1980s to watching FIM with my daughter. My favorites were always the seaponies.

[@Nightfire613]

She's so cute! I don't know how many more of these Strawberry Shortcake dolls, but I hope you'll at least make my two favorites, Blueberry Muffin and Angel Cake.

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

I haven't gotten any ideas for those characters yet but I definitely want to continue this series.

[@UnbridledArtistry]

Lemon turned out so incredibly beautiful! Her faceup is perfection & omgsh I can’t with the adorable accessories… so cute! ❤🥰❤️

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you so much!! I was so happy with how everything came together.

[@AwkwardBirb]

How absolutely charming!! She is the personification of summer 💛🍋🌞

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you! Lemon just feels like summer to me

[@hvymtllion5231]

if you keep doing SSC characters, I'd love to see Orange Blossom

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

I already have some ideas in mind for her!

[@KitsuneShika]

The eyes and face are so so lifelike, you're amazing. She's so freaking cute

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

You are so kind, thank you!

[@LivRayner]

Oh, she’s beautiful! I am SALIVATING for more strawberry shortcake characters now!

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

🥰

[@nikikelly2003]

She is beautiful! My favorite are the faceup and her little food accessories

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you, I was really happy with how she turned out. I think she is one of my better faceups

[@rocknromance78]

Hope to see more from the jem series! Or wrestlers from hulk hogan's rock n wrestling.

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

I completely forgot about Rock N Wrestling! I definitely want to do more Jem but I need to find a doll base that works better, I wasn't 100% happy with how they translated to the MH dolls

[@TheVillageIdiot829]

I squealed and my coworkers are now judging me

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

🥰

[@brianahawkins8124]

Lemon Meringue looks Lemony Gorgeous especially however she's missing her pet frog and a basket of lemons. I love the drinks, pie and blanket they would look perfect for my miniself biggest garden project. I would love to see more of her friend's, see you next time. :D (List of characters) Blueberry Muffin Raspberry Torte Plum Pudding Orange Blossom Cherry Jam Huckleberry Pie

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you so much! I definitely have plans to add a few friends

[@brianahawkins8124]

@@LadyDynamiteCreates Your welcome. Question of the day, how did you make the pie & where did you find those mini cups to make the lemonades?

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

@@brianahawkins8124 The pie base is 3d printed from a file on thingiverse, its linked in the description. The glasses I 3d modeled and printed

[@brianahawkins8124]

@@LadyDynamiteCreates Ok, as for the frosting a quick dry drywall compound, where can I find those? & did you paint the pie yellow & the pie crust brown? Last question of the day will she have a basket of Lemons & have her pet frog?

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

@@brianahawkins8124 The drywall joint compound came from Home Depot but plaster of paris might work too if you can't find small containers of the joint compound. I had to buy gallons to refinish a wall so I had it lying around. I painted the pie to have yellow filling, brown crust, and silver pan. She is all done and reserved for her buyer so I have no plans for more accessories.

[@dollasorus]

She looks amazing! I love her vibe to answer your question I had one those keychain strawberry shortcakes that had lipgloss in the hat I can't remember the character though oh and baby Bratz

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you! Baby Bratz were so cute 🥰

[@dollasorus]

@@LadyDynamiteCreates I also had 2 of the 2003 strawberry shortcake DVDs though I lost their cases and have them to this day and found 2 VHS tapes at the thrift store

[@shannonraby5547]

So cute, and so creative 🥰🥰

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you so much 😀

[@angelaschultze2404]

For me it’s my little ponies

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

MLP is a great one, pretty much all versions they have done over the years have been enjoyable.

[@LePetitChatNoir79]

I just LOVE her! 🍋💛🍋💛🍋 Strawberry Shortcake was one of my faves growing up too. I have a tiny collection of some of the 80’s dolls. Love them so much! 🍓🍋‍🟩🍊🫐 🍒🍋

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

Thank you so much! I have a handful of 80s dolls but no Strawberry Shortcake. Every time I find one in good condition they want waaaay too much for them.

[@LePetitChatNoir79]

@@LadyDynamiteCreates I know, people are crazy! There’s a repro SSC doll that came out recently. I think “The Loyal Subjects” makes it. It’s not exactly the same as the original but it’s still pretty cute. 🙂

[@centurycountess4949]

omg this is awesome. I'm not sure if you heard of it, but there's a series called My lovely lady locks. I always loved the villian known as the Duchess Raven locks who thought lovely locks hair was magical and wanted to cut it off to make magical extensions. I believe. Sadly though when the dolls came out it was all the same face sculpt and they gave her a gentle expression instead of her more vivacious smirk. I strongly recommend the series and if you get a chance check out the dolls too. I'd love to see what you could do with a redesign of the lovelylock characters including the Duchess, maybe give her updated look that hint of evilness instead of what the original was given which was a far cry from the series.

[@LadyDynamiteCreates]

They are on my list! I never cared for the look of the original dolls in that line but adored the little pixietails and I LOVED the artstyle the box and key art was drawn in.

[@centurycountess4949]

@@LadyDynamiteCreates same I never cared for the dolls that much because it's no doubt the same mold for each doll just with a new face paint, makes me sad because it would of been nice if they had made a special mold for each doll so they had their own personality instead of the same face just different hair, eye and lip color.
