Hi All,
It was brought to my attention that my miniature doll, china painting tutorial was missing several pages. I am not sure how that happened, but I am happy to report it is back up and complete. You can see the tutorial on my website, here: http://ginabellousdolls.com/china-painting/
I am so sorry for the inconvenence. I am still adding back the tutorials from my old site as time allows. I appreciate your following and your patience.
Hugs,
Gina
I am still working on Chantelle in between orders. I am trying to keep her gown simple but elegant. I want it to drape nicely and realistically and I don’t want to cover up those pretty gathers I worked so hard to put in. She is coing along nicely.
Hi,
I have really missed everyone.
So life gets in the way sometimes. So many things going on and something gets pushed aside! I have been wigging and assembling so many doll kits that I owe to customers. I am getting close to being done with them. I will be posting photos of Chantelle as well as some other ladies as I costume them.
Big Hugs,
Gina
>I have been painting doll kits for some of my customers. I happen to be working on some tiny 1/4″ & 1/2 scale dolls and it amazes me how much of a difference there is in the size of each scale. 1/4″ scale is so tiny, her head is smaller than a small pea, and the 1/2″ scale lady has a head just a bit bigger than a pea. The !/12th scale lady is about 5 1/2 “, the 1/2″ lady is about 2 3/4″ tall, and the tiny 1/4″ scale lady stands a mere 1 1/2” tall (if even).
Do any of you work in smaller scales very often? I prefer 1/12th scale myself but will on occasion dress some 1/2″ scale dolls as well. If anyone wants to share photos of their smaller dolls, send me the photos and I can post them.?

>I had my camera out today, so I couldn’t resist giving you a sneek peek of “Chantelle”. She will be a lovely lady in a fancy gown. I love her dark red hair, but I have always had a thing for redheads!

>Hi All,
It has been awhile since I posted. I have been working like crazy to finish up my orders! If your ordered a Victoria, and haven’t received her, the rest of the orders will be going out either Monday or Tuesday! I appreciate every one’s patience. I got a bit behind during the holidays. If you ordered other dolls, they are also going out by the end of next week or beginning of next.
Stay tuned, I will have some special ladies to show!
