Happy Alice in Wonderland day! Music from a paid subscription. Doll purchased From Junie Moon Online store Japan. I’m not sponsored by them, I purchased the doll myself.
Arledge is a beautiful rendition of Alice. I especially love the black and white toile dress she is wearing. I always enjoy seeing what you have sewn from your pattern books. It is inspiring me to get up and sew something pretty for my dolls. Arledge looks amazing in that lovely black dress and headband. I enjoy watching all of your videos, Claire. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. 😊
What a wonderful and pretty doll! Thank you for your video. You have such a lovely way of showing your dolls and your creations. Thank you for sharing. 🥰
She's absolutely beautiful, I love that she isn't wearing much make-up. The clothes you made are gorgeous and it was fab seeing the Alices together. Fabulous crafts as well Claire! ♥️♥️♥️ Brenda looked like a movie star 🎥 📸 The Oxford celebrations look great fun, perhaps I'll go one day ☺️
@@millydollydame Thank you so much Milly. I really can’t believe why Brenda isn’t a popular doll, I think that she is absolutely stunning! I’ve really enjoy having her.
What a Parade of Alice dolls! I do love a red/black/white theme ❤🖤🤍 You've done a terrific job creating the whole scene!! This is another wonderful and inspiring episode for all members of the Blythe collecting community 😊 and I'm so so looking forward to your whole collection of dolls being displayed in the new craftroom. I've said that before, I know, but it will be well worth the wait!
Thank you so much Rowan, I really appreciate your comment. I did so much planning before I started this project, I made a virtual mood boards, sourced materials, then got making. It was really difficult leaving my doll in the box for so long. I was staring at her through the clear plastic and tried to imagine what would suit her😆. It’s difficult to style a doll that has such amazing stock. If only I gave myself that care and attention! lol
@@ClaireWhoMakesThings I really can see the work you put in ♥🌹❤️ What restraint you have, hard to contain so much excitement!! I was the kid that picked holes not only in my own Christmas presents, but everyone else's!!!
Everything you’ve made is incredible!! So many details ❤️🤍🖤 obsessed with Brenda’s dress!!! Arledge is a really lovely doll. I really love her purple eyes xx
@@Findingjoycollecting Thank you so much Hunny. Thank you for sharing your viewing on your instagram story. I hope it all looks ok on the big screen. I only see it on a tiny screen when I edit which is smaller than a phone screen!
Your videos are SO good! I really want to get Arledge now , Im not sure where I can find her though, she is not on the Junie Moon website now. You certainly have a wonderful talent for making clothes for your dolls! I have the pattern for Luna, and her books, am looking forward to making her and some outfits too. Looking forward to your next presentation, you obviously put a lot of thought and effort into producing them.
Thank you so much Rhonda, I think that she is currently out of stock, however I find they always seem to make a few more, and bring them back. If I see her on sale, I will post a story. I can highly recommend Luna. There is a dutch rabbit pattern coming soon, I’m so excited about it.
Loved watching you unboxing Arledge. I actually didn't order her when she was on Junie Moon, because I was in two minds. I liked the fact that she had silver hair and I also liked her dress with the neck ruff but I just didn't feel super-compelled to get her until later when she was sold out, so I ended up getting her from CC-Toys instead and she arrived a few days ago. She'll be living in her box for a while as I tend to space out my Blythe unboxings. I really liked the dress that you made for your Brenda Blythe as the Queen of Hearts - the roses all over it were perfect for her and the shape of the dress was lovely for her too. I think Alice in Wonderland is massive in Japan, they really seem to love the whimsical and surreal aspect to the story and characters. I know there have been quite a few Blythes which have had the Alice theme, although didn't quite know that there were THAT many - as featured in the intro to your video!
Thank you so much. I only started collecting authentic Blythe dolls July 2023, so I’m rather gutted I’ve missed out on Alice themed dolls of the past, however I suppose I would be over run with them by now if I had started sooner. 😆I really enjoyed seeing your unboxing of Brenda. I haven’t used my Brenda’s hat since unboxing her, it’s difficult to get it to look right on photos, however I will try to use it. I’ve also used a fine sanding pad on her forehead to the take the shine off. She photographs so much better for it. I hope that you enjoy your Arledge Time keeper as much as I have. I’ve ordered Chloris have you?
@@ClaireWhoMakesThings Brenda's hat is a bit awkward, the actual crown of the hat should have been bigger so it fitted her properly rather than it just sitting on her head like it does now. I started collecting Blythes in 2021, I currently have 8 unboxed and 2 still to open. I also have two middies. I really have to be wowed to get a new Blythe, Chloris is lovely, but she doesn't grab me.
