Un au revoir à notre affection Doll réinventé la mode!

A fond goodbye to our Reimagined Fashion Doll...
   If you have an interest in IFDC, visit their Official Website.

As with every event, project, or documentation; our blog has to come to an end. But, take heart dear IFDCers, and remember it won't be long before you will not only be able to see these divas in person - but you will also be able to BID on them. Just look for Jim's auctions on this wonderful art created by your members.  

I sincerely hope you have enjoyed reading this blog as much as I have enjoyed bringing it to you.  Your blogmeister and fan of IFDC, Dot Festeu

But, never fear!  As we say farewell to this blog, we do have three lovelies to leave you with - those sent in by J'Amy Pacheco, RobsDolls and a collaboration from Hilda Westervelt and Mary Ann Roy!  Here goes!

RobsDolls

This year Jim Faraone sent out 80 of these "Back to Black" Natalie Fatale convention dolls and asked various doll artists to remake them and return them for a silent auction. I received two of the dolls, and these are my makeovers. 

They both recieved a full reroot, and enhanced facial paint. Clothing is by Mattel. 

You can read all about Rob on his website and you can reach him by email if you are interested in his dolls.     

J'Amy Pacheco

Inspired by Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, Natalia has been made over in the likeness of the dark magic villainess, Maleficent. Maleficent, as the evil-doer who curses Princess Aurora to prick her finger on a spinning wheel on her 16th birthday, which ultimately results in her becoming one of the beloved Fairy Tale Princesses, the “Sleeping Beauty.”

j'Amy Pacheco has been making beautiful OOAK dolls for years, but I wasn't sent any biographical information and could not find a website for this talented artist so we'll have to be content with her picture and doll write-up.  But you can email her direct if you are interested in her dolls or her work.  

HILDA WESTERVELT

and green with an elegant gold coat with vintage crystal accents.  Her outfit is finished off with a lavish necklace of Japanese Miyuki beads.
