Heidi Ott dolls and some dolly delights

I have been working for a promotion that's why I have less time for dolls lately but when my Heidi Ott dolls finally arrived, I felt I have to give in to some play time!



Heidi Ott Dolls are high quality 1/12th (dollhouse) scale dolls that can be redressed. The adult dollhouse dolls are made of 34 body parts which are manufactured in Germany, then assembled, and ultra sonically welded together and hand finished in Switzerland. The body has 14 movable joints, the heads are hand-painted and some have mohair wigs. The elderly dolls have a soft cloth pose-able body instead. Some outfits are sold separately.

I got myself two male dolls. The above photo shows the size comparison with other dolls (Takara Compact doll, Britney Spears doll and Aaron Carter doll). The first doll on the left is a mini clone while the jointed lady is unknown to me.

I have plans for my two Ott dolls. I want to tan them, repaint their faces and create new hairstyles for them. I'll sew clothes and make them shoes and build them a small dollhouse or room boxes, and I don't mean the ones made of cardboard like I did for dolls their size before. I want these new ones to be more permanent so I need to plan carefully. I want a rooftop garden, something like Tuesday Taylor's penthouse apartment. Sounds ambitious enough? Oh well, I have to start somewhere. I'll just change my plans as I go along. :)





This of course doesn't mean I'm going to ignore my bigger dolls. In fact, I have an on-going project with Michael and Melinda. I saw from a Flickr pal artworks of different fashion packs for the couple.


I instantly got inspired to make my own. I still have to make the closures for the clothes but then I saw an episode on Glee about sex education. The cast had a number where they sang "Afternoon Delight" and they wore outfits similar to "Party Day Blue" so I was inspired to take a picture of Michael and Melinda having some afternoon delight! :)
