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.
This basaak doll was generously donated. She was in dire need of some love, so, I gave her some.
Here she is now!
She is a super silly little one named Durpee.
I felt like this doll needed a bunch of personality. Since her face plate was already carved all the way through I gave her silly "O" shaped mouth. Her nose had been previously carved and some of plastic underneath her nose was worn very thin. I reinforced the plastic with moulding clay and smoothed out the roughness.
I gave her some cross eyes to match her personality. Since she was given cross eyes you need to hand roll her eyes to change them.
She is on a Licca body. The arms do not bend. She has a very small gap where the faceplates meet on one side.
Durpee is not a perfect doll so she is looking for a new parent that will embrace her silliness and love her the way she is.
If you think you could give this silly one 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 Durpee away- FOR FREE- however- the winner must be willing to pay shipping.
On top of receiving Durpee, my sweet friend Heidi at Blythe Fifth Avenue has decided to generously donate an outfit for Durpee. Once you win feel free to contact Heidi for you free outfit. So sweet! Thank you Heidi!
On November 20 (two days before Thanksgiving) I will randomly select a winner on random.org and will announce it on my blog.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Let's be grateful for Blythe in our life!
I would absolutely LOVE to bring Durpee into my home to be loved and adored and takien on silly family days out and adventures. Pick me :) Thank you for the chance... <3

ReplyDeleteDespite her imperfections...she is sweet and I would love to welcome her into my dolly family.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I am terribly challenged, I'm afraid. I have been trying and trying. I really thought my last comment worked, but I don't see it. I will try one last time. I am so sorry if these are all backing up somewhere. So here's my original message:
ReplyDeleteMy daughters have fallen in love with your girl. I would love see them give her a home.
Wow you have truly done wonders with this little one. She is so cute. Love her crazyness she is just so different from any other blythe i have seen.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful congratulations on helping this little one come to life.
Her new parent will be thrilled by her x
Adorable and lovely girl! <3

She is super adorable! I would love to have her!
ReplyDeleteShe can come live with me! <3
ReplyDeleteDerp, derp Durpee!!! She makes me smile every time I look at her. What a great rescue job!
ReplyDeleteWith me please !! She is awesome !
ReplyDeleteShe's adorable :)
ReplyDeleteDerp!!! I love her!
ReplyDeleteMy "clones" are all girls with rescue stories (I can share privately). Youtube (so traumatized before rescue that she doesn't speak), Fifteen (poor thing), Skype (the best-adjusted of the bunch), Wikileaks (still acclimating but doing well), and Jazzz (only yells "Momeeee!" all day and begs to be picked up, would make Durpee very comfortable with who she is - and one of my more mature neos (Tara) cares for these girls personally. I think Durpee would be a great example for the others and may be just what this family needs. :)
