The Secondaries

For the longest time, I've been planning to make gowns representing the colors of the rainbow but then I realized I'm not so much of a gown person. Then I planned to make Filipiniana dresses still representing the colors or the rainbow. I got stuck at violet since I wanted it to be more complicated but it was more than I could handle. Plus, they are still gowns.

There was also a time when I wanted to make dresses of different colors for Superstar/Shani bodies. I didn't even have that large variety of dolls with that body back then. Who would wear them?

Now I'm here again planning to do that Rainbow Collection, this time on model muse dolls. Since I don't have that much time these days, my mom helps a lot. She did most of the work for these 3 new dresses. I only did most of the finishing touches.


So far I only have the secondary colors of orange, green and violet and I like how they turned out so far. The green dress will be repaired since I find the skirt too revealing.



The next color should be yellow. The challenge is to do it right the first time since I don't have that much yellow fabric. the design can't be too complicated either but it can't be too plain. You know that feeling when a lot of things can go wrong and you just want to stop? That's what I feel about yellow now.

Shani


Another doll that changed ownership because the former owner was making room for new dolls, is my first doll with a Shani headmold, the Ghanian Barbie. She'll be simply called Shani since she's the only one I have, Shani-wise.


She got some photo time tonight. I decide to have a Christie doll join her in one pic because (1) there was a time I didn't know how they were different (2) these two dolls reminded me of my relatives (my late aunt  and cousin, if only the dolls' skintone were lighter).
