Life was… interesting this summer. I made things but didn’t have time to make as much as I wanted, and barely had time to post. So please forgive the giant post as I get caught up.

Project Name: Doll Hair Restoration
Project Link: Doll Restoration (in progress)
Brief Description: I’m slowly restoring my 36-year-old doll, Fernando, whom I left behind in Brazil in 1997, when I thought I was only leaving the country for 1 year. 10 years later, my mother brought him back to me when she moved to Canada. He is a hairy baby, and I began the restoration by dealing with his severely matted hair.
Project Photo(s):
This is his “after” picture. His hair is textured, but it was very matted prior to this.
