swap with me
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009With help from Lithuanian post, my part of a swap finally reached Loreta! So, what was in that box:

Jane. This girl has a bit of a history as originally she looked very different from what you see in this picture below (for 4 years she was very much a girl of more modern times - bright clothes, ginger hair… high boots and she was tucked away in one of my craft boxes). My swap partner loves original dolls and she loves old, vintage things, so I decided to embrace the challenge in order to surprise her… I’ve only kept the original body and changed the rest to make Jane look like she’s from some older times (her dress is actually made from a vintage and I believe early 20th century fabric and lace!) … It took me two long nights till I got some sort of decent (not perfect) result… I can only hope Loreta honestly likes Jane. As for me – no more dolls on my work desk any time soon!


Loreta’s youngest daughter Une is attending art school, this pencil case is for her…



It was a great fun. And I’ve got some beautiful stuff to remind me of it for the rest of my life. Thanks again Loreta! x
I want to do more swaps!
