I'll take some more photos of Kitty later when I change her into the lilac outfit and hopefully by then I'll have better photos to share.
I'm happy with both dolls, though I cannot for the life of me manage to put Sindy's earrings in. I think I'll have to try using a hot needle to pierce all the way through her vinyl, but if someone else has any better suggestions please let me know.
I hope you are all enjoying your dolls, I'm going to enjoy some down time from blogging for a few days, so I can finish off some overdue projects. However, I will be popping in now and then to catch up reading your blogs. :)
My Delilah Noir's earrings won't go in either, so you are not alone in that boat. Oh, Cindy and Kitty were worth the wait!
ReplyDeleteOh they look fantastic and in really great condition too. Both of their faces are so beautiful. Kitty looks like she stepped off the pages of a 50s magazine. That's the vibe I get from her. Regarding the ears, I found this same issue with both my Tonner and IT dolls that had pierced ears but no earrings in it. A heated needle is generally what I use too but I try to find a small needle. I tried with those thumb tacks once and the hole was too big so the earrings just kept falling out.
ReplyDeleteLas dos son preciosas, la espera ha merecido la pena, disfrutalas.

Oooh, contratulations, I'm glad they are both with you, after all their travels :)! Both Kitty and Sindy are really beautiful, and I simply adore Kitty's eyes - they are so full of life! Good luck with the earrings (I usually use needle too) and I'll be waiting for more photos!
ReplyDeleteOh, look at these two, so beautiful! Congratulations! I really do like these two and especially Sindy. She is so adorable. Hope you can figure out how to put her earrings in. When I was younger, I just used a needle to poke around a bit so the hole would be a bit bigger. Nothing I recommend today, though.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Your new dolls are very beautiful. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteI lately also don't have time to blogging, but I'm reading posts time to time when my children let me :)
They both look beautiful! Good to hear that they've arrived safe and sound. I've never pierced a doll's ear before, so I don't know how you can do it safely. As a child, I used broken sewing pins as earrings for my dolls (I was old enough to play safely), but I wouldn't do that now.
ReplyDeleteHope you can manage to get things done during your time off the blogosphere. Take care.
Both are absolutely wonderful. I'm very glad they arrived safe.
ReplyDelete¡Qué bonitas! Son maravillosas las dos, no sé qué tienen las muñecas de Tonner que realmente me gustan todas, yo creo que es mi escultor de muñecas favorito. Incluso Sindy me parece realmente una versión preciosa, aunque mucha gente critica a Tonner por atreverse a hacer una Sindy. Me gusta la original de Pedigree, pero éstas también. Tanto Sindy como Kitty tienen la ventaja de su tamaño perfecto, ni muy grande ni demasiado pequeño.
ReplyDeleteÚltimamente están llegando unas muñecas preciosas a tu casa, tu colección es fantástica.
Besos.
Gracias Ilona :) Me atraen las esculturas de Robert Tonner, y por mucho que admire las muñecas originales, prefiero coleccionar sus hermosas interpretaciones. Las personas tienen derecho a sus propias opiniones, pero ciertamente no dejo que sus opiniones afecten mi elección de muñeca. Como dicen ~ la belleza está en el ojo del espectador.
DeleteEl tamaño de estas muñecas se adapta perfectamente a mi colección, y la calidad de las muñecas y el vestuario de Tonner es impecable. Agregaré más cuando los encuentre.
Grandes abrazos,

Thanks to everyone who has commented on this post and congratulated me on my purchases. I am so pleased to have added these dolls to my collection. :)
