@kangaroolove: I have that pillowcase in your icon.

I have that comforter! LOL I still sleep with it. >___> I'm glad my husband doesn't think I'm weird.

Don't feel bad. At my house we have tons of character plates, cups, bedsheets, pillowcases. I mean the list just goes on. XD

Meeeeee tooooo....

I am a notorious bargain shopper. I happen to have Wall-E sheets on the bed (that were $3.00!)...soooooo... You too are diffidently not alone. xD;; (major dork)

Oooh! I loved the Pocahontas 1995 dolls! I had Pocahontas and John Smith, but when I bought Tiana and Naveen, they were so huge headed, that I had to revamp my Disney collection and bought all the rest of the Princesses and Princes to match THEM. So, when the old Mattel dolls all had smaller heads, and they didn't match the new Disney Store dolls, I sold them. I liked some of them better than these new ones (but I actually do prefer the new Aurora so much better!! It actually looks like her now!! YAY!) but I needed a matching set, so......

Anyway, I loved Pocahontas & John Smith together---the story and songs were amazing---and when the sequel came out, where she fell in love with John Rolfe.....I was upset to say the least.

But then, I realized, it IS true and in real life, she and John Smith were never sweethearts, so.....after shelving the movie for a few years, I finally decided, I'd just go with it.
So when I bought the John Smith Disney Store doll, I converted him into John Rolfe and made Pocahontas her English gown:



I love the old Pocahontas better but this one is pretty enough, too, so.... ^^

OH.MY.GOSH.
You are my hero! I've been trying to make a John Rolfe but never got the chance! How did you achieve that hair? Wow this is AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I am so incredibly jealous! This has totally inspired me to get back on to making John Rolfe! Do you mind if I post this on my Flickr page? Crediting you of course! This is so amazing to not share!

Sure!!! Go ahead, that's fine with me. ^^^ For his hair, I used Apoxie Sculpt to get his 'flip' bangs and ponytail. ^^ Luckily, he doesn't look that much different than John Smith, so wasn't too difficult to achieve. You should make one!!! It's really worth it and your Pocahontas will be so happy. ^^

Thanks everyone enjoyed it! Oh and thanks for introducing me to apoxie sculpt! I'm sorry if I'm asking too many questions but did you use any tools? His hair looks so good! No fingerprints or anything lol.

^^ Thanks again for liking him so much.

No, I just kept smoothing it with my fingertips and nails until it was right. I often use a hobby knife when sculpting but for John Rolfe, I didn't need to since his hair/bangs/ponytail are all curvy and full.

Here are some more photos of them, separately:












^^ And a close up of them together:

Well the general reckoning is that in real life Pocahontas was between 10 and 13 when she saved John Smith and HE was 28 sooooooooo, no. Frankly I think the movie would have been much better showing what a brave kid she was rather than making her into another "Disney Princess."
