First Try

It's rainy season in Orlando. Today we went out for lunch and grocery shopping and caught a big shower. We came back home quickly and kept enjoying this relaxed and peaceful afternoon. My husband is watching the World Cup -Brazil vs. Holland (now 0:2) while I am posting this now.

See what I did this morning? I helped Aria upgrade her body to an Azone Pure Neemo S body (natural skin). It was my first time to try this and was so afraid that I would scratch her face by using the screw driver when I opened her head. I had changed Barbie's Body (Miss. Grace') but it's just simply pull out and push in. Blythe is more difficult than that, but it's also easier than I thought. I didn't take pictures of the process but if anyone is interested, I would be happy to make a tutorial.

I was so excited after the successful surgery and floored by everything the new body can do. Although Spencer  has the same body type (with white skin), I didn't change it by myself, she came to me in the Azone body so I didn't really feel the big difference.
Aria: See what I can do now?


Also there's a picture of Spencer with Bunny: 
 
Do you like the bunny hat on Aria? I am so glad to find this cute and unique crochet bunny ears helmet for Blythe. Made with 100% wool yarn then felted. The ears are floppy and have a soft wire inside so that they can be shaped to the way I like. The shop link is: https://www.etsy.com/shop/elifins?ref=l2-shopheader-name .This is my favorite Blythe helmet shop on Etsy. The shop owner Elisa did a great handmade work and the deal was really good. She also makes different helmet style and the classic crochet helmet is $5 each, really great deal!

And remember the diorama project I was working on? It didn't turn out successfully. I tried to make a tiny gap between the wall and the top baseboard but the wallpaper just didn't seem to fit in this way. The other problem is it's too small to make a scene for Blythe. You can see I use it as background for couple times when taking pictures of sylvanian families. I will still use it as background when the size fits and it now has fixed wall paper, one side ivory one side purple.

Now Brazil vs. Holland is 0:3......

I found this picture on Flickr and was so happy to see Re-ment finally came up with a realistic theme design. It is named as '80's theme' so far and seems to include many things that I've seen/used/had in my family when I was a little girl. The three characters on the picture means "stage of revision" so it may not be the final version. Anyway I am very looking forward to this and hope Re-ment will achieve the notable success once again.

  1. My man watched soccer too :D; but tonight I'll exceptionally watch it. The new body looks great on Aria and I'm sure she loves her new ability to move in more ways :).
    The bunny hat is so cute :D and Spencer is a real beauty. I'm sorry for your diorama, but as long as youcan still use it... The re-ment 80s theme looks great; again something I'd like to have :D.

  3. I just typed a comment and blogger ate it! Oh well, here is my second try.

    Spencer is a great name! She is a beautiful doll! I love her eyes and hair. The Azone Pure Neemo body is really awesome! I just can't get over how flexible my dolls are now. I am planning to give one to my DAL too but the bodies are so expensive. It will have to wait a few more months. Have you tried Obitsu 23 cm yet? I heard the body would suit most Blythe clothes. I am not sure if the Blythe head would be to heavy though for that body.

    Ah I hear your woes about the diorama background. I struggle to find something good for my big head dolls! They are too tall to fit nicely in the Barbie dollhouses unless they sit down.

    And I am so excited about the Re-ment new set! Please please please let me know when they come out for sale! I prefer the realistic design to the cartoonish Disney stuff they had released lately.

    1. I've never tried the Obitsu 23cm...have you? Is it good? Blythe head is heavy and from the feedback I read it's too heavy to fit Azone Pure Neemo XS body. So I used the size S. They are very expensive so I will wait too for my other Blythes' body to upgrade.

      I am excited too after seeing this design picture. I heard it will be released in October and I'll keep you updated.

    2. I did buy an Obitsu 23 cm for my Licca doll! The body is really well made and flexible. It is however less heavy than the Pure Neemo S and so I am not sure it would be strong enough for a Blythe head. I have not tried a Dal head on it because I have never opened her head before! But my Dal's arm just broke T_T and so I might have to resort to that. I'll let you know how it goes.

  4. 第一張相有點.....哈哈.三級吧,幸好你加了打格子,如果不是的話你這個部落格要變成18以上了,哈哈...
    我其實都有想過幫我家小姐換身,但又怕一換要把全部LICCA換了才佩合,人數有5,6個之多,都是打消念頭了

    1. 哈哈哈你好幽默~~不打格子也是二级吧,她有穿底裤嘛!!Licca身体本来就够灵活,手方向往里也能抱住东西,好多Blythe玩家都把Blythe换成Licca体呢~

  5. The new body looks great! I have been thinking of getting a new body for my Blythe, but we will have to wait and see if I can afford one someday =)
    The bunny hat is very cute!!

  6. It is fun trying new things, and I'm sure Aria is really happy for the change. :-) Thanks for showing the 80s Re-Ment. I heard that it was coming out soon, but I hadn't seen any pictures of it, until now. xo Jennifer

  8. 雖然我無玩公仔, 但都覺得你將BLYTHE改咗個BODY好合適.
