Close Enough: Saige's Painting Set

 Hey, there! Today I'm going to show you something I love doing: Making my own version of American Girl items! I have made my own version of Saige's Painting Set.(And, it's way cheaper than 48 dollars!) Here we go:

 Thanks to Char's idea, I used the easel from American Girl's Doll Dining Set for an art easel. I stacked boxes to make it tall enough for Kanali. *Want to know more about Kanali and her outfit? Check out this post:Springfield Fashion Show/ Meet the AG Dolls  

Here is Kanali's "picture". Drew it myself. :)

  

I made Kanali's "paintbrush" by coloring a part of a white Post-It note black, cutting it out, and covering it with tape. Then, I cut slits in the top of the "brush". To make the handle, I wrapped some duct tape around the brush and then wrapped duct tape around that to make the handle longer. Would you call that part of a brush a handle?

This is Kanali's "palette". I traced the design onto cardboard, then colored in the paint. Next, I cut out the palette. P.S. I am using doll hair elastics to help Kanali "hold" onto her items. I am using these because I don't have clear elastics.   I love how the background is blurry in this picture.

Next: The art set. My dad made the pouch out of duct tape (who really knows how he did it :) ). I also have the ruler and scissors from Chrissa's craft set and a mini glue from a fashion designer kit. I saw that idea on the Internet. So, thanks, to whoever put that on the Internet. :) (I'm on a roll :) )

Here are the pencils close up. The bigger colored pencils are from a restaurant, and the small ones came with Chrissa's Craft Studio.

A notebook from the old AG backpack set.

A tote that my Nana crocheted.

Springfield Fashion Show/ Meet the AG Dolls

 Hey, everyone! 

Today, we are going to have a Springfield fashion show! Springfield is a doll company where most of these clothes are from. Here is their website:http://www.springfielddolls.com/ They also have a website where you can play games:http://www.sfstyleclub.com/ I am not a member there, but if you sign up, you can play games and sometimes, they will send you free doll items! *I found this out at Doll Diaries. http://dolldiaries.com/

          Here are all the girls. From left to right: Nellie, Samantha,                   Kanali (Just Like You #29), and Rebecca. 

Kanali comes from the names Sonali, who is Chrissa's friend (Girl of the Year 2009), and Kanani ( Girl of the Year 2011) combined.

 This is Kanali by herself. All of the items are from Springfield except her sweater, which is from American Girl's McKenna's Practice Wardrobe.

 Here is Samantha, looking cute in her pigtails. My mom did a home ear piercing on her.

 This is Rebecca, my third doll. This a coincidence because she is my third doll and this is the third picture of individual dolls! Rebecca's shoes are not from Springfield; I think they are from one of Samantha's dresses.

 Our last doll is actually the doll that I got first! This is Nellie; I got her when I was five years old.

I hope you liked this fashion show! If you want to see the names of these outfits, go to the Springfield site that I linked at the top of the post. 

If you want to learn more about my dolls, just leave comments with your questions under this post. Then, I will try to answer them.

*I do not work in any way with Springfield.

Cupcakes and Cows

 Hey, readers! You probably just read the title and said "Huh?" Well, this is a video that I made a while back. It is called Cupcakes and Cows. You'll see why it's called Cupcakes and Cows after you watch the video.

 Enjoy! Doll Whiz
