One of the biggest pieces of advice to people when they are experiencing burnout is to get a hobby. But, what if your hobby is getting burned out? Here are 6 ways to help reignite your passion
Read MoreI simply adore anything that has character, so when I saw this tutorial by Unniedolls I knew I had to share it!
Not only is it super easy but it looks fantastic. Think of all those bare wood items at Michaels that you could spruce up - oh, and don't forget to download their app too to save extra $$$ ;)

As we all mourn the untimely, and down-right shocking news of Prince passing, I secretly have to hope that the world will finally be able to enjoy Prince more now. His videos, concerts and recordings that have been held so tightly for so long may finally see the light of day once more.
I would very much like to enjoy the antics of Le Petit Prince once again too.
In 2011, Seattle-based artist Troy Gua paid tribute to his favorite artist via a very charming and amazingly detailed doll: Le Petit Prince. However, after his work went viral in 2012, Prince and his people were not amused and "requested" (via a cease and desist) that he remove all images of the project from his website. Of course, no images are "gone" from the internet, so...here they are. (All images are property of Troy Gua)
Tonight, we will watch Purple Rain and shed a few tears, but ultimately celebrate one of the most talented musicians ever to walk this Earth.
RIP Prince Rogers Nelson - man, that one hurts a lot to say
Dropping May 2, the STAND Lookbook is a brand new art pub, celebrating some of the most jaw dropping photos by some incredibly talented photographers worldwide and available for FREE online. (Print copies are also available via print on demand. International shipping is available at really affordable rates, as well. )
Note - the printing isn't off on the cover above - it's my lack of understanding how the Photoshop mockup crap works. I promise it's all perfectly centered for the printer, lol. (sigh)
I found this fantastic tutorial today and was mesmerized watching her. I'm sharing part 2 which is about placing the hair on the wig, I think making the cap is probably fairly simple and I'll leave it to you to go to her site and watch that one. I really just wanted you all to see that it isn't as hard as you might think to make your own.
Of course, I probably never will as I'd prefer to pay someone else to do it, lol...BUT if I got crafty (though my crafting skills are really limited) I actually think I could pull this off. So who knows, maybe I'll get industrious one day and give it a shot ;)
Give this a watch and check out Unniedolls website for more. She does some fantastic mods and repaints.
Each issue of the STAND Lookbook will feature two variant covers. A bjd cover and a fashion doll cover. If you purchase a physical copy for your collection you will have the option of choosing whichever cover you'd prefer.
The fashion doll cover of our first issue is by Dollcis. For those unfamiliar with Paul Pham and his Numina ladies, I highly recommend you take a peak!
Thanks so much Paul for contributing this image! If you'd like the chance to see your work featured on the cover of an upcoming issue click the CONTACT link at the top of the page to learn how.
Icarus Love Melody does a fantastic job of showing us how to restring. Many of us have dolls that get kicky (too tight) or floppy and lazy (too loose) - and Lord knows, I'm the only lazy bitch allowed around here!
This looks way more simple that I thought it was. Maybe a few of my dolls will get tightened up a bit now.
Hmm, can someone please come pull my strings and tighten me back up too? ;)
Want to bond wood to glass? Styrofoam to rubber? Here's the answer.

Oh, you guys know I love tattoos, or maybe you don't, but you do now!
Can you believe I don't own a doll with any tattoos though. It's something I really need to fix and I found this tutorial to help me do just that!
Who knew it would be that easy!
I stumbled upon this one and thought it was a fantastic idea and fairly simple to follow along. I was finally able to trace it back to the original poster, who does some fantastic crafts, so be sure to check her out. (I'm also completely jealous of her nails, though I wouldn't be able to function - they are beautiful)
We love this no pattern dress - it's actually right up my alley :)
