It did take me a lot longer than I thought it would, but that was mostly because of the distractions inherent in being easily distracted by my other thousand hobbies.<br />-<br />Before & After:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nillakitty/4003845180/" title="My First Custom! Before & After by nillakitty, on Flickr"><img style="width: 406px; height: 272px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3428/4003845180_15f995d3fe.jpg" alt="My First Custom! Before & After" /></a><br />She began as an ADG Perfect Parfait, already customized... So I suppose my first custom was also my first rescue! That squiggly thing on the side of her face is sharpie or paint pen or something, and the eyelids were painted without opening up the head, so paint was all over the edges of the sockets :( (The before pics were from the seller, not me...)<br /><br />Much work was done!<br />Work done: Sandmatted, Pastel Makeup, Painted Eyelids, New Lashes, Sleep Eyes, Gaze Lift, Carved Lips, Eyes, Reshaped Nose, Mohair Reroot, Neemo Flection Body, and Glass Pulls. You prolly have to be into Blythe to know what any of that means.<br />Her name is Moth now.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nillakitty/4003074191/" title="O Hai! by nillakitty, on Flickr"><img style="width: 392px; height: 262px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2540/4003074191_a579f05092.jpg" alt="O Hai!" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nillakitty/4003065015/" title="Moth by nillakitty, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3208/4003065015_4d6834de25.jpg" alt="Moth " width="332" height="500" /></a><br />More pics <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nillakitty/sets/72157622301844299/">here</a>.<br /></div>nillakittyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17952738937835642936noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1065589965783415518.post-56003131428160632642009-10-09T11:04:00.000-07:002009-10-09T11:22:40.953-07:00Well, well.It seems that two of my life long dreams have come true:<br /><br /><div>1) The <a href="http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/">Monterey Bay Aquarium</a> has a <a href="http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/efc/efc_programs/adventures_family_sleepovers.asp">program </a>where you can spend the night.
