DOLL - CANDY

 Hello Everybody.
Hope you all are safe and taking precautions.
Thank you to everyone who posted on my last posting!
I appreciate it so much.

Sorry - it has taken me so long to post again, but
I literally had to scour my computer and my brain to
find something to post.
I have plenty of things to show you that I have made
(even from 2 years ago) that I never got around to
showing.
But am doing so now.

After the death of my daughter I knew I had to keep
my hands and my head busy. 
The following year around August 2018, 
 I joined a doll group.
I joined Dana Burton of (Miniatureart).
Then, I made
my 1st doll named Rhonda (toward the end of the year). 

Candy was the 2nd doll that I made
as well as entering her in a contest with a roombox.
I did enjoy making it all and now I am hooked!!
I am still doing the dolls today.
And to date - I have only made 6 or 7 of them.
I have also found that I still need to keep myself
busy.

I have learned to assemble a doll, dress and wig her. 
My roombox still is not the greatest but at least I am
trying. 

There will be multiple postings involving Candy such as
her roombox, her closet, her accessories and of course
Candy herself. 

A little bit about Candy.
I did not win the contest but I did have fun and there
were some lovely settings along with some lovely 
Candy's. 
The setting was supposed to be 1940s to the 50s era.
Mine was about 1950, but with a little twist.

This is Candy - not my doll but the doll that
Dana Burton made and sold doll kits to everyone
that bought them.
And I was one of those customers!
Because this was my 2nd doll to be made - I surely
did not think that I could do this doll justice.
So, I made my Candy - DIFFERENT
than the one pictured here.

Everyone made a roombox, and also this closet
that you see below.
This was literally the first thing that I had 
ever built so my closet didn't come
out perfect either. 
Neither does my closet look like this one
cause I changed it. 
Am pretty sure that you can still buy the parts
and pieces to make this closet from
minikitz.com
There are also other items for sale that go with
Candy.
Hope you will take a look and see. 

My roombox was a football display case
that I painted black on the outside.


On my next posting I will show you
my Candy.

Thank you for visiting me!
