Recue Blythe Project Giveaway- Star
The Blythe Doll Community has always been so good to me, I felt like I needed to give back some how.
I have always had a soft spot for misfit and unloved dolls. I love putting bits and pieces together to create special and unique dolls. So I decided to start the Blythe Rescue Project.So many kind and loving people donated parts and pieces from eyechips to scalps to help me out.
So then I found this poor girl. She was in dire need of some love, so, I gave her some.
Here she is now.
I have named her Star.
We had some bumps along the way...like glue where her mouth had been carved to fill in the carving, a broken eye mech, and her eye chips being superglued in.
But we carried on and I tried to take the imperfections she had and turn them into strengths.
Her lips that were carved into odd smile I smoothed out to make it into a little smirky smile with teeth.
Her eyechips finally came out after much soaking in water. I replaced them with pretty donated eye chips.
I decided because her eye mechanism was broken I would just manually roll her eyes instead of use a pull string.
Her previous owner had pierced her ears and had put a ring on her hand. I think they work for her now. I also gave her a Asymetrical bob with purple highlights from a donated Simply Chocolate scalp.
She is almost good as new and now I am giving her away as a thank you to the blythe doll community for being so awesome. If you think you could give Star the love she deserves even with her little imperfections please leave a comment below.
ONE comment per person. You are disqualified if you comment more than once.
I am giving Star away- FOR FREE- however- the winner must be willing to pay shipping if they do not live in USA.
On August 15th I will randomly select a winner and will announce it on my blog.
Good Luck!

Oh my gosh! I just love her, I love rescued and imperfect dolls best of all. You are amazing! And those blueish chips look so good with her hair!
ReplyDeleteWow she looks wonderful, and i love her name. You did such a good job! Its one thing to do a lovely custom, but to rescue a girl and make her so pretty :) xx
ReplyDeleteOh I would love to win her! You did an amazing job of rescuing her. How can you give her away??
ReplyDeleteShe is precious. I adore her haircut, stars painted on her, her eye chips - basically all of her.
ReplyDeleteIf a star were in human form she would be the perfect fit: after her makeover all of the gloomyness is gone and now she glows like a real star. :)
The second part of my comment is kind of off. Lol. What I should have wrote is:
Delete"If a star fell to earth and took form, she would be that star. Because before her makeover she was so gloomy and sad looking, and now there really is a glow about her that mimics a real star. It's almost like I can look in her eyes and see the wonders of the universe."
I am completely serious. There really is something about her; her eyes are amazing. :]
She is such a cutie!! You have done a marvellous job on her to get her back to near perfect. I love the haircut and always think I should do that for myself:) I would love to join in to have the chance to win her.......is there anything else we need to do??? I am happy to pay postage if I am the lucky winner!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing transformation - I love that you gave such a sad girl a new & beautiful life! Someone will love her very much now! <3
ReplyDeleteShe's awesome! I love her quirky unique look!
ReplyDeleteWould love to add her to my collection :)
You know I want her!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, fantastic job! :)
ReplyDeleteYou always make such great customs.
I'm glad that this once unloved girl will be getting a new home.
Good rescue job ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Christy, you did SUCH a marvelous job with this girl! I have a soft spot for "misfits" and you gave her a whole new life! I would so love to be entered for the chance to give her a good home!!!!!! Thank you for the chance!

What an amazing dolly rescue! There is something so special about taking misfit toys and making them into works of art, which you definitely did here!
ReplyDeleteEven those of us who have imperfections are loved by someone.....She would be loved and cherished (perhaps with a little extra TLC) by me. You did a beautifully unselfish thing in bringing her back to life.
ReplyDeleteWOW!! You did an amazing job!! She is gorgeous. Thank you so much for doing this and giving people the opportunity to to enter to win her. Can't wait to see the other dolls you rescue!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvelous transformation, great job and what a sweet gesture! This community is so much fun to be a part of! :D :)
ReplyDeleteYou did a truly amazing job at giving new life to this gal! And even more amazing is your willingness to give her away!
ReplyDeletehow lovely. :) this doll definitely deserved some love, and you gave it to her!
ReplyDeleteThis doll is exactly why I've fallen in love with Blythe. The people who love her are so unique, creative and caring. It has been truly a healing experience this year to be a part of this community. I'm glad I jumped in with both feet. You did an amazing job on this sweet, little "misfit." I think we all can relate to her.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool project.
ReplyDeleteI could give her loads of love; I am pretty imperfect myself. I think she is beautiful with her starry eyes! I would treasure her and crochet her little outfits :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous girl she is, love everything about her. I would be so happy to pay the shipping to Australia and I know she would love my other girls. Thanks for making her beautiful again X

ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful!
Sorry to comment again but I realised I forgot to put my BK username!
ReplyDeleteIm the 14th comment!

A friend mentioned in BK that she loves imperfections, so do I, imperfections makes something perfect, gives character and allows beauty to bloom.
ReplyDeleteGreat job I am wishing to be sent to a home that she will be loved most
She is amazing - you did an awesome job. I would love the chance to bring her home. Thank you.

I love people who want to give something back. I am disabled and some people consider me to be imperfect so i can relate. There is always someone who will see the beauty of a person or object regardless of what the majority see. I love that you saw the potential of this lady and gave her a makeover. I also love that she still retains her uniqueness, character and imperfection to the majority with the addition of her makeover. No one and no thing is perfect and never will be and who are we to say what is perfect or imperfect, there is beauty in everyone and everything. Thanks for the opportunity, Christy to own this lovely lady.
ReplyDeleteOh my gooness. Christy you are amazing she is absolutely gorgeous. If i actually got her i think i would die and go to heaven.. wow great job.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing doll! You did a spectacular job with her!
ReplyDeletees preciosa, ojalá le toque una buena mamá :)
