A long overdue update – Paulkaiju x super-junk collaboration

So I have neglected to mention an exciting collaboration between myself and Paulkaiju - a “secret” project that will be debuting at DesignerCon in Pasadena next weekend.
Paul has designed and sculpted this girl, and I designed and handmade the clothes for a limited collection of one-offs. I’ll be posting more photos and details soon (I have to photograph them first!).

If you’re in So cal, come check them out! DesignerCon is always a great event, it’s like SDCC toy alley on steroids.

More photos in PK’s Flickr for now…

Once again, it’s pumpkin-carving time! Every year, Paul draws up some characters for me to turn into Jack o’Lantern patterns. This year, we’re offering up Boss Carrion and Biter Man for your pumpkin carving pleasure.

You can download them for free, print them out, and carve your own PK pumpkins.

Schoolhouse Dresses

As labor day weekend turned into a rain-out, It hit hard that summer was over, gone just as fast as it showed up. It made me think back to when we were little and the three months away from school felt like ages, by the end of it you were nervous but excited to get back to school, see your friends, see who had changed, start a clean page in a new chapter.

With the tapping of the rain as background music, I made a group of 4 dresses that would be perfect little back-to-school outfits- cute but sensible. I want to spend a little bit of time making matching socks and bloomers, but these will be in the shop in about a week or so.

Next batch of dresses – Wednesday!

My latest batch of Blythe dresses are inspired by vintage little girl’s dresses. I’ll be posting them in the shop Wednesday, August 24th at 2:00pm PST (I’ll try to finish a few more by then, too!)

Countdown to Blythecon!

In my typical style, I was not organized enough to be an official vendor at Blythecon (hey, it’s my first one!) . Instead, I’ve decided to hold a “secret” sale for Blythecon attendees right here. I’ve made a small batch dresses and a couple of other little bits that I will post for at a secret web address the weekend of the con. Any left after that will be available in my Etsy shop.

Happy 10th Birthday, Blythe!

In honor of Blythe’s 10th birthday (they grow up so fast!) A special event is being held in Junie Moon Daikanyama – Blythe Summit! Handmade custom Blythe dolls and outfits will be available in the store from May 31-June 19. Team Sibley was happy to participate – we customized a Nostalgic Pop, Maraballe Melody, and Little Lily Brown Middie. Christina made 10x of 3 different Jam Fancy outfit sets.

I was extra-excited to get my hands on Middie – I was intrigued by the few photos I’d seen popping up on Flickr, and I couldn’t wait to see what was inside. I’m happy to say that after working with her and learning how to fine-tune her unique glance, that I became hooked and miss her very much! It will be wonderful when eyechips and custom parts are available for Middies, they are really fun little ladies.

Head on over to TeamSibley.com to see all three girls.
