Cyanide

The second Blythe I own is the Petit De'jeuner Champs Elysees who sat in her box for so long I had almost forgotten about her. I had modified to a small degree, but never really felt the love for her with the bright red mohair curly locks I had given her. You can see the remanence of it on her dome and this is how she looked after pulling everything apart and culling her curls.

I ordered three slightly different shades of teal which I blended to get the shade I wanted for her.

Over the following days, I became engrossed in re-rooting and concentrated on completing her hair. Well it's took forever to re-root this doll's head . . . it's such a huuuuge head!! I don't know if other people find the finished re-root uneven at the ends, but as much as I tried, I could not get it to remain even.

The next photo was taken after the first trim. I probably took off a generous inch, maybe slightly more, and also cut a fringe which is currently in a curler. I really like how the three colours blended, it looks so pretty and will go so well with her new dress and cardigan.

After I began working on her I was much happier with her progress, so I shall probably keep her. Now that in itself, presents another dilemma. I don't usually like to have even numbers of a particular doll, so maybe, just maybe, I will add another to make them a trio. 

I will share more photos of Cyanide when I finally complete her.
