...5.6...Bride Doll Project - Day ONE...

...these photos are from an old JamCam - my first digital camera from the 90s...so the quality is not great...
...well...not these two...I snagged them from ebay to show a before of her hair...
...she came with long wavy brown hair...
...and I had just donated about 2 feet of hair...not really sure why I decided to do that just weeks before my wedding...who knows...

...this is a photo from the youth room at my church and Mom and Sissie are helping me put on my veil...but I had fairly short wavy hair...
...I don't have a before/after from the Bride Doll's haircut...but I think I just chopped it off...as I'd be curling it...any unevenness would not be very visible...

...also she had blue eyes...and very red lips...
...I wrapped the shortened hair around pieces I'd cut from a straw...with a little bit of paper towel to keep everything nice and tucked in...
...and secured it all with pins...
...I heated up a pot of water...
....then I dunked her head into boiling water to set the curls...fake hair sets as it cools...
...here she is with her hair dry and set in curls...and at some point I painted her lips pink...as I didn't like the bright red...
...and then I taped her eye open so that it would stay open when she was laying down...
...and used a brown Sharpie to colour the iris of her eye brown...
...so...here she is 20 years ago...with brown eyes and (too) curly hair...the Sharpie covered the blue eyes quite nicely...and is still clear enough to see the detail...

...these are all of the 20 year old photos that I have...and then I put her in a plastic tote and forgot about her...

~Have a lovely day!

    1. Hey K,
      I know...I have one of those Black Box thingies that you can plug a hard drive into...so that's where I found it...the hard drive is at least 20 years old...but still works...on it's own...it's no longer connected to a pc...
      Love,
      T
