I'll be honest... her head is bigger than I thought it would be. I have never seen a Blythe in real life, only ogled online and my perspective was skewed. But I love her.
And I have big plans... I am just not sure what they are yet. I am a total beginner. Do I dare change her face? Do I want to do something drastic and artsy? Should she be a Steampunk (my current favorite aesthetic)? A nerd? Look like me, with miniature sugar gliders riding on her shoulders and in her pockets? I just do not know.
What I do know...
- I want to make her less shiny. From reading things like ThisIsFakeBlythe I surmise this will either mean some serious time with fine sandpaper or a nail buffer.
- I want to PROBABLY replace the pink and basically orange eye chips with something less creepy. One of them I want to be brown. The other maybe something awesome like maybe dark purple or a steampunk graphic.
- I want to give her better hair. I bought a wig on ebay from Blythaholic and they were SO good to work with, by the way. It is close to the same color, but with a little purple braid on top.
- She needs a name. I am thinking Amythyst Kimball, as it is my go to Steamsona name, but I don't know for sure. She just hasn't "told" me yet, you know?
By the way, her specs, as in the way she was described for sale were thus:
12" Doll Big Head Blybe Basaak Color Changing eyes CCE
