I think adding the eyelashes to my dark and red Adochans made them look a lot more like my blonde and green haired gals. I will admit those lovelies, helped guide my painting the these two! Next, I looked around the room to decide what to work on next... By the afternoon, I decided to make the Swimmer blue plastic bear a hat to coverup the hole in his head! I needed cardboard, yellow felt, scissors, tacky glue, ribbon, and forget me not fabric flowers. I began with taking the plastic bowl that sits inside the bear's head to help me make the top of the hat, on the cardboard. I used the glass dome my cute Sachiyo bunny sits in, because it was the perfect size for the rim of the hat! Ha!
After cutting the rim and top of the hat on the cardboard, I decided to take the cardboard scraps left, and cut about an 1 1/2 X 4 inches across band, and I needed two. This will make up the sides of the hat. After cutting all the pieces, I began to cut the yellow felt. The felt, would be glued onto the cardboard. It actually worked out well as far as the glue was concerned, and I had to take a lunch break to allow the parts to set. The last part, was adding the striped pink and white ribbon to the rim of the hat. I even made a bow, and added some millinery flowers, Forget Me Nots, and in blue. What do you think? Not fabulous, but still at least it makes the bear a bit more decent without looking like he is missing part of his head. Haha.
I even tried those LED solar lights inside him to see what that might look like. Not too bad, if I want to have him as a night light. Finally, in the mail Friday, I had gotten this lovely Swimmer blingy Fawn bag or pouch plush. Just adorable, I'm so tempted to keep her. She reminds me a lot of Ayumi Uyama's retro fawns. I also found this lovely Swimmer clock with a bunny riding a pony. The clock works fine and just requires one "AA" battery. Even has a light to check time at night. I've already listed it in my shop.
During my searches, I found a Lot of vases, made by Swimmer Japan too! I didn't know they sold vases. These pastel colored vases are just lovely too! All in different styles, and in different pastel colors of red, yellow, blue, and pink. My favorite is the pink one, because it reminds me of "I Dream of Jeannie" bottle! Right? These will be a part of my collection. Just lovely, but they are small. That's the only thing I would say, I wished they are a bit larger. Last, while searching for my charger for my retro radio, I found these two sweet bird shakers, and decided to let them go on IG. They sold super fast too! I was in shock. LOL
Have a wonderful week everyone! Who knows what the future has in store!
Happy Kitsch Hunting! ~ ggsdolls
