Cherry Pie

Cherry Pie Sahra a la Mode (Azone)--one of Lauren's wonderful Christmas gifts--has been redressed in a gorgeous dress by MegannArt and a lingerie overcoat for Tiny Kitty, yellow pumps from a Sabrina set, I think (Integrity Toys), and bracelets from Tracey Balanger.

Isn't she just so cute? I love how her eyes pop in green!

Looking for additional clothing options for Deja Vu?


Check out some of MegannArt's latest additions, designed especially for Deja Vu, Tonner's newest fashion doll. This adorable pink tulle dress is available for just $15.50, and also fits Cami & Jon (Antoinette), Integrity Toys Poppy Parker Fashion Teen, and Soom's Rosette BJD.

I highly recommend Megann's fashions--she specializes in tiny seams and delicate fabrics. Check out her store--just in time for the holidays!

Help Out Your Fellow Dolly Friend & Vote

In honor of a photo contest put on by Peak's Woods on Facebook, I decided to make a special outfit for my FOF Hucky.  The contest requires a person to take a picture with their doll, so I made sure Hucky's OOAK outfit matched mine.  We are both sporting pink dresses with white dots.  Can you also tell I did some bokeh work with my camera?

Now, I need your help!  If you are on Facebook, please "like" my photo on the Peak's Woods page.  Your help will be greatly appreciated and will actually help contribute to further MegannArt dolly clothing on new doll bodies.

Remember, go to this photo on Facebook to vote, and you have to "like" the photo itself, not a comment, feed, etc.

Support an artist!  Visit my website (MegannArt) for an Etsy shop, Twitter, Facebook (with occasional discounts), Pinterest page, and much more.  Plus, there is even a new pattern book out now that has some BJD patterns, called Dolly Bureau!

Dolly Bureau, Volume I - A new pattern book by Megann Zabel

Doll patterns in a book, all to scale, with clear instructions in English, designed for beginners to intermediate dolly couture fans? Sounds too good to be true--but it isn't! Check out Megann Zabel's newly released book, Dolly Bureau Volume 1, available now!

The retail price of the book is $27.95, and you can currently find it for sale from DollyBureau.com, Amazon, Denver Doll Emporium, The Doll Peddlar, The Swell Shop, and also at Azone's booth in doll shows in Japan. This price gets you a 100-page full color book, in 8.5x11 size. Inside, you'll find 14 full outfits (lots of mix-and-match pieces) for various dolls.

Volume I includes outfits for Momoko, Poppy Parker/Misaki, Chip (FR:Homme), and 1:4 (MSD) and 1:12 (Lati Yellow and Pukifee) sized BJDs. Additionally, lots of full-color photographs display other dolls, such as Pullip, Odeco, J-doll, Tiny Betsy McCall, Model Muse Barbie, Ken, Limhwa To You, and Liv. The patterns are to scale, and require only tissue paper to transfer.

Megann Zabel, the owner of MegannArt, has a background in fine arts and design, which really shows in this publication. The attention to detail in her patterns, illustrations, and overall design of the book is amazing. The book is beautiful--it is a must-have for any fashion doll fan, in addition to the budding designer.

In addition to her gorgeous layout and photography, I must add that the instructions are really wonderful. Megann includes a step-by-step photo tutorial of the first pattern, which--for me--is particularly helpful. Even if you have no (or limited) prior knowledge of sewing in smaller sizes, the supply lists, techniques, and clear instructions (such as what exactly "easing" means), all make me want to try again.

Additionally, the author invites her readers to share the results of their endeavors online. While the patterns are designed for personal use, you can join the group on Flickr here--plus sneak a peek at the terrific patterns inside the book. Personally, I am in love with Megann's photography!

This is Megann's first publication, and I happen to know Volume II is in the works now. I'm thrilled to see more from her, and am so excited to see this new line of easy-to-use patterns.

This book would make the perfect gift for a young doll collector, in addition to those of us who have been collecting for a while. My nine year-old Lauren is really inspired, and I hope to be sharing some of her creations shortly!

Girl on Fire Katniss outfit - for 13" Revlon by MegannArt


 May the odds be ever in your favor! Are you a Hunger Games fan, and are you having difficulties waiting for other companies (either Tonner or Mattel) to release licensed products from this movie?

Wait no longer! Take a peek at MegannArt's Etsy page, and check out Katniss Everdeen Girl on Fire gown, designed for Tonner's 13" Revlon body (this will also fit the 13" superhero bodies). Megann does a great job capturing this gown--and she's charging just $20 for this gorgeous piece!
