Dollieh Sanctuary

This may or may not be a new site for you all but it was for me and I'm highly impressed with her work. She's got some great tutorials on her site for wig making and such besides. I was looking all over for directions on how to do a couple of these things and I found hers. The whole site is really helpful and pretty darned inspiring besides.

I have a huge bin of designer yarns. Her wig tutorials gave me an idea or two. I'm going to go and crochet me a few wig caps and try to make a few pretty mohair type wigs in size 5-6 for my 16" girls and the MT's. The one thing I don't want to do though is mess with glue. I really hate glue on wigs, any wigs. Since it's yarn and crochet caps I think I am going to try slip knotting and maybe sewing it down to finish it off. If I do it right and line it when I am done I shouldn't have any problem with hair coming out and I think it will look pretty nice besides. I like the look of the wool and mohair blends...

it's my goal in life to buy one of her fantasy fairy outfits for my girls. They're amazing! And if her tutorial weren't so scary-complicated, I'd attempt to make a pair myself, but I get the feeling the work that goes into them is WAY beyond my skill level. lol

Why?! Why you show me this?!
This is so darn useful that my dolls will want me to make more stuff for them. Especially the MSD shoes that have Kung fu shoes potential, the wig tutorial and the fairy wings.

*points to her dolls jotting down a list of things*
see what you did, they're making a project list. Now I have no excuse of saying 'I don't know how to start making such and such". I should consider it (un)lucky that I don't know how to knit yet.

Seriously. Thanks

That lady makes such beautiful things. I am far from that...get by though.

A lot of people are really talented. Its so unfair

She is amazing that artist. I've been following the blog for a while now, and if I could make dolly things HALF as good as hers I'd be happy. *Sigh*

I agree with you. She is amazingly talented and her outfits are gorgeous - so are her dolls.

Thanks so much for this link, the tutorials ae great, I love the way they are explained with good photos. Really neat stuff there!

I am in love with that site now. After first looking at it a couple weeks ago, I made a pair of wings based on one of her tutorials, and even though they didn't come out perfect, I love them! I also used her tip for making a skirt look weathered. The instructions were really pretty easy to follow, too.

What an awesome resource!! Thanks for the link! I want to make some wings now!
