The Making of Strange Flower

Somehow I never showed my process of strange flower's creation. Below are the materials and steps.

Materials I used:

Yellow wool (mine was yellow yarn that I carded myself with a carding brush / pet brush)

Cheaper white core wool (mine was recycled fluffs from poly batting of my pandemic-era grocery delivery packing liners)

Glass pins for eyes

Air dry clay (mine was green paper clay and wood pulp clay but you can color air dry clay with some acrylic paint)

Wood glue (for water resistance), or PVA glue (if you don’t care for water resistence)

A good stick. I got mine from an old messed up artificial flower.

Felting needles

Felting base foam (I used recycled polyurethane packing foam blocks from my online orders)

To make a strange flower:

Start by felting the base of your flower’s face. You can speed up this process by wet-felting with soapy water mid way. It should end up looking like a concave cookie.

Then start to layer some yellow wool on top of your core wool cookie. Cover all the whites.

Then start to add details like cheeks, chin, and lips. You can test-place your flower’s eyes to better figure out the placement of your flower’s cheeks.

Then cut your glass pins short, bend the pin slightly downward (so it’s long enough to hold its position but won’t stick out the back of your flower’s head), and insert the beady eyes.

Start molding the desired flower petal shapes of your choice. I wanted mine to be plump. So I made it plump. Let it dry a bit. Then I added a water-down layer of wood glue and smooth out my clay petal. Poke a hole at the center of the petal about the size of the artificial stem.

Tip: If you’re also using an artificial flower stem, try to mold the base of your flower petal to fit into the stem head’s shape. Mine was a bit flat and ended up having a big gap and I had to use more glue to fill the void and it took ages to dry. Save any artificial petals you can salvage. Incorporate the ones that work with your strange flower. The rest can be materials for another project someday.

Once completely dry, pin your petals onto your artificial flower stem with some wood glue or PVA glue at its base.

Once the clay petal is dried and secured on the artificial flower stem, carefully poke your flower head on top.

And a strange flower is born! 🌷

A princess dress for my custom middie Blythe, Bodie.

Handsewn with our aunt’s pink shirt in 100% polyester. Bodice, sleeves, and skirt are separate pieces. Gorl still needs some shoes, accessories, and a doll box.

Here’s her in her perfectly round form before.

This outfit took me so long to finish ( ༎ຶ⌓༎ຶ ) I never made any clothes or drafted any pattern before. And after this doll outfit, I still don’t really how to do any of that. I had to remake the skirt partially at least twice, the bodice also partially remade twice. The sleeves, wow, what even are these things. In the end I just said eff this and they ended up being detached puffs.

Lots of unexpected obstacles with this project.

Her stiff arms means the garment’s armholes have to be at least a certain distance, a surprisingly wide distance cause her hands aim outwards, making any sleeved top very wide if the fabric doesn’t have enough stretch.

Gathering bunches up quickly and it was hard to avoid her waistband looking unwieldy.

My solution for 1 is to not deal with it (for now). As stated, sleeves aren’t attached. For 2, an extra backstitch at the edge really helps clamp down bulk. Also, near the end I realized I could have just singed the edges of the fabric instead of hemming them (threads add bulk) cause I’m using all plastic fabric anyway, they melt, and that’s a perk of the material.

Bonus lesson, velcro is a really messy choice and they snag and ruin stretchy or loose weave fabric.

I just have a lot of respect for seamstress/ters who can draft from scratch and sew complete garments.

Dollhouse WIP

I still need to make the thimble look more like a stove, and make some framed pictures, and more shelves filled with books.

A little glow-up for my fertility goddess doll, Oon.

ICY doll (Blythe doll clone) head on an Ali preggo doll body. Her lips colored with Uni paint markers with one layer. Then scraped off the wobbly edges with a toothpick. Not at all the conventional method of doll customizing repaint tools but I got what I got.

I prefer my dolls looking fantastically plastic. For a quick repaint with just painty marker, it's not bad. It's a little thicker and darker than the original lipstick that I wiped off.

Maybe I will invest in an airbrush someday.

A big bow for my custom Blythe, Bodie.

Made with recycled fabric from a baggie that came with my headphones and some recycled fluffs from grocery delivery padding.

I'm doing everything but her clothes because clothes are so daunting!

My fertility goddess doll! Her name is Oon. You may call her Goddess Oon. She looks rather mortal right now cause of the lack of good clothes but hopefully that’ll change soon.

Made with an ICY doll head and this strange preggo Barbie body knock-off. I had to enlarge the neck hole from the ICY head to fit the preggo body neck but it worked out really well. I also prefer her with a longer body than her default shorter one.

I will be putting as many 1:100 tiny people in that egg-shaped belly because it makes the most sense, of course. I’ll also have to put a bit of makeup on her and make her some godly outfits.

Mixing doll parts is really fun.

Her next to a Tangkou doll for reference. The Tangkou could be a zombie with the lack of color on her besides her face.

I have successfully Frankenstein'd my most perfectest "Blythe" doll and she is my absolute favouritest thing right now. ( ˘ ³˘) 💕 I love her so much. So shiny!

For reference, this is put together with "factory" chubby Icy, which is a copy of Mimi Bobeck doll's body with an Icy head (not shown). Then I swapped the head with a "factory" bald middie Blythe.

I am SO THRILLED the neck joints fits and I didn't have to cut anything off, except I did break the hook notch thing behind her ear which is so expected of me ( ´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ ) but the head is still closing fine and she is still perfect.

I have had the chubby Icy since 2018. I never knew what to do with her until recently. The head and body proportion was not my favourite and I love how she turned out! Bonus is this head fits much better than Icy did and it doesn't droop down.

I even got the original Mimi back in 2018. I will likely try to somehow soften her head and see if I can remove it without destroying it eventually. I don't believe the chubby Icy / Blythe copies are sold anymore so this success is just reinforcing my hoarding tendencies.

She looks like a weird adult lady version of Kewpie. I might just make an onion wig for her later.

So here is my obscure Blythe doll log of total success.
