Poppy at the Beach

August 25, 2019 Megann Zabel

The beach vacay for the year has come and gone, but I got some fun photos of Poppy at the beach. The blue-haired “Looks a Plenty” Poppy is such a great doll. I’m a sucker for a doll set that ends up being several dolls in one, especially if they have wild hair colors. I haven’t used the red or blonde-haired versions of Poppy yet, but stay tuned to see them in future photos.

It was an interesting experience trying to balance keeping a doll upright and avoid waves with a camera. Poppy Parker was much luckier than a Momoko doll that took a swim (a few times). She will be seen in a future post.

In the early summer, I picked up the fabulous Barbie Look Collection Poolside Fashion Pack. Poppy is wearing most of the pieces from the Poolside set. Is it too much blue? I felt that way at first, but it has grown on me. The robe floated in the wind and really provided the beach vibes.

Going on vacation any time soon? I always recommend grabbing a doll and taking it with you. Some of my most interesting doll photos are on location while I’m catching a breather from everyday life.

I will have a few more photos on my Instagram account, if you want to see some more blue-haired Poppy eye candy. Support an artist! Visit my Etsy shop. You can also follow my Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest pages.

My Friend Mizi

Have you ever seen a Mizi doll? She’s a newer fashion doll to hit the scene. She has articulated joints, making her more posable than some other dolls. Mizi is a good price for an articulated collector’s doll, but her plastic does seem a little less robust than her rivals.

My Mizi had a photo session today in one of my first gown designs. It’s funny to look back on my work and say, “Yeesh, I’ve come a long way.” The dress is still acceptable and fits Mizi okay. Mizi is also wearing the FR Queen V crown, Mattel doggy, and Integrity Toys necklace and ring. I think Mizi is going to get a new hairstyle in the future.

Smart Doll Kizuna

Move over Dollfie Dream, Smart Dolls are the new popular large vinyl doll. I'm sure there are plenty of people that will be Dollfie Dream fans for life, but I'm amazed at how quickly Smart Dolls took off in the doll collecting arena. I picked up a Smart Doll a couple years ago, right before this Kizuna head was retired. The new Kizuna head is a very popular sculpt and screening.

I took my Kizuna out for a simple photoshoot. She's wearing a blouse I designed for SD sized BJDs a few years ago. She's also wearing a necklace I picked up at a BJD show and Iplehouse jeggings. The wig isn't her original, but it fits her well.

Calico and Lace Dress Set

I FINALLY finished a new set for Momoko! It sat around for quite a while because I really wanted to work on my tatting skills to add a little extra to the outfit. It turns out, I’m WAY better at needle tatting versus shuttle tatting.

The set comes with a beige coat with handmade tatted lace applique brooch, sleeveless calico print dress, underskirt, and purse with matching tatted lace applique. It fits a variety of fashion dolls, including Poppy Parker, Liv, Jenny, Tiny Kitty, and some Barbie sizes. I noticed it was sometimes difficult to get larger hands through the sleeves of the coat.

In the near future, I hope to do a variation of this outfit in a digital pattern to sell in the shop. Support an artist! Visit my Etsy shop. You can also follow my Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest pages.
