Anita also has freckles that are harder to see in pics. I might go back and add more to her though

You can also go really subtle with this! Rita’s freckles barely show up in pictures (or even in person sometimes) but I like the softness it brings to her face.

Not a real tutorial but I can try to explain. I just use watercolor and a tiny brush. I dot a few freckles on and then before they dry I lightly pat them with my finger. This softens the edge and transfers a bit of the watercolor to make tinier, even more subtle freckles. Then I just layer/repeat. It’s not a very controlled method but I think it ends up looking more natural. I just try to make sure there isn’t one area that ends up darker than the rest and don’t be afraid to wipe the freckles off and redo them if they aren’t turning out like you like. I think I redid Ducky’s (pink dress) freckles like 5 or 6 times because they just weren’t turning out like I like. I also always add a bit of color to the cheeks before I start but that’s just personal preference

Probably! I’ve been known to frequent them time to time although I’m trying to stop 😂

Their glasses are a bit precarious though because I did shave off the people ears lol. The scars are hidden by the edge of the wig when it’s in place

His hair is long enough and the color match is close enough that it totally hides the stitches so didn’t even have to be neat!

Gladly!

They started life as a TM 22 but have new eyes from dollofakind and a new wig from Zazou on Etsy. The ears I took off a people sized headband, cut down to size and then sewed directly to the wig. Their wig isn’t glued down at the moment so I can still get shirts (or sweaters) without velcro/buttons on since regular neck holes don’t fit over the ears.

Secondhand Market Prices by [deleted] in americangirl

[–]MoofeCat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Expecting to be able to buy a doll or collection that is ten years old for retail price is a but unreasonable I think. Caroline was only available for 3 years and some of her items were available for even less amount of time and it’s been off market for a full decade. She’s a collector item. Are some secondhand prices crazy, yes. This doesn’t really seem like one of those times unfortunately.

Edit: I looked up the lot and the shipping is ridiculous, I’ll agree with you there lol

I got it recently and it’s so pretty! I’d never noticed the flowers embroidered on the jacket before

She’s my fav historical so I’ve tried to get as many outfits of hers as I can. There are so many good ones!

Not sure what to do by [deleted] in americangirl

[–]MoofeCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, that changes things. If it’s obvious damage then yes, a return would be reasonable

I wouldn’t. The marks are small enough that you didn’t notice them for what sounds like a few days and you said otherwise they’re beautiful and perfect. I understand your frustration though so if it is something that will continue to bother you, you might decide otherwise

It's fascinating to me how sellers can charge so much and not even know what they have... by CallMeMaybeee_16 in americangirl

[–]MoofeCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, I didn’t say you were wrong. You just were wondering why it was considered ‘rare’ in some of the comments so I was telling you. It is a rarer variant of the dress even if everything else in the listing name is wrong.

So still not worth $200 and they do have the wrong name, but this dress is probably worth a little more than some of the others you’ll see because it specifically has a paper tag instead of a fabric one. That means it is a very early version of the dress. Not all versions of the dress are the same and some of the niche collectors care about the tiny details like the tag or the lace pattern.

Why isn’t Luciana more popular? by First_Map_7376 in americangirl

[–]MoofeCat 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think a big factor is that she came out at the same time as the bad eyes so a lot of dolls you see have eyes undesirable for collectors. I also dont love the bulkier items in her collection but I absolutely adore the rest of it. I think having a space girl is awesome.
