Modification Wazzy's Journal (The Magic Crew)

Hello everyone. Been on a bit of a radio-silence due to life and job. But things appear to be settling and there might be a nice window of calm where I could potentially get back to my dollies.

So to that, I say this Journal thread will cover my journey in customizing my Magic Crew. I'll try and keep updates here as I do any sort of progress, which I know for a fact will be slow.

"Phoxanne the Trickster"

Theme - Magical Witch Fox Girl
Doll - Dream Valley Ann, first edition (smooth ears) in natural pink
Mods - Soom YoSD fox arms and feet. To be modded to fit on Dream Valley joint peanuts.
Faceup - face, ears, paws and tail
Clothes - Autumn themed witch outfit with cloak
Props - potions belt, foraging satchel, staff
​

"Moony the Familiar:

Theme - galaxy cat
Doll - Dream Valley Moon, in purple
Faceup - face, body blush
Clothes - Maybe some arm wraps or a saddle bag
​

"Rosy the Dragon"

Theme - purple pansy
Mishi's Dolls - Spinie, in teal with pruple rose
Faceup - face, body blush
Clothes - leaf pixie themed dress
​

That's my goal, so hopefully I'll get something done on this list. Maybe not in order, though.
Wish me luck!

 

Hello everyone,

Pardon the radio silence. Life, stress and everything in between, am I right?

I finally took the first steps in modding my DV Ann to have Soom fantasy legs fit her. Here's a link to my IG post for pics and a rough explanation for the moment.

Cheers!

Wazaga on Instagram: "A billion years ago (2 years) I was meaning to mod these loose Soom Fantasy fox limbs to fit my Dream Valley Ann doll. . . Today I finally took the leap of faith and started ruining said limbs. . . I used a carving blade to shave off the little nubs first, shavings are less likely to get breathed in and are easier to clean and manage. . . I then used a hand drill and a dremil bit to make locking dibbits in the string channels on the knee join to fit the thigh's locking ball. . . Sanded it gently with a fine file to smooth off the corners and scratch up the side surface. . . Then I used epoxy to bulk out the sides to fill in the gaps in the knee socket better. . . Color matching is gonna be a pain. . . Now we wait for the epoxy to cure. My stock is nearly 10 years old, so I hope it won't be terrible... it was a gift from a friend and I just never got around to using it because "life" . . . #dollart #dolls #doll #yosd #custom #customdoll #sewing #dollclothes #bjd #balljointdoll #balljointeddoll #dreamvalley #chaosdoll #bjd #custombjd #faceup #dollart #artdoll #ooak #ooakdoll #bjddoll #bjdmarketplace #bjdmarket #dollchateau #dollchateaubjd #bjdcollection #bjdcentaur #centaurbjd #dollstagram #bjdstagram"

 

Thank you kindly. Haven't had the time to continue, but the next part is sanding and color matching
