2 new girls

Here are 2 more of my reroots. I have a lot more to reroot.

Nice job. I really like the girl that's sitting. She looks really cute. Maybe it's the big hat

[maywong]

Thanks DA. The girl sitting is Judy Garland from the Wizard of Oz.

The reroot really changed Judy, never would have recognized her!

[maywong]

Thanks Dollykim. Her head was full of glue and as hard as a rock.

[DollyKim]

I hate those, it's part of what turns me off from doing more rerooting than I do.

[Dark Angel]

Thanks Dollykim. Her head was full of glue and as hard as a rock.

I'm just curious, how do you fix that? Soak them in water for a long time?

[DollyKim]

I pour hot water in the neck hole, let it sit in a bowl in the water, and pull the goo out with long tweezers. Just keep changing the water and keep scraping :/

I cut off all the hair off. Then soak the head in hot water. Next I take my hemostat forceps and remove the hair and glue. (repeat the soaking in hot water )
After I remove all the hair and glue. I take a Q- tip and dip it in "Goo Gone" and wipe the inside of the doll's head.

Oh, goo gone is a good idea. But it sounds time consuming. But once they are rerooted, they are so beautiful.
