I've spent a lot of time, studying Marilyn's pictures, especially the ones she wore furs in. She was stunning, the camera adored her, not one bad picture! I had a lot of fun creating a doll fur collection inspired by the furs she wore. I hope my furs, do her doll version justice:)

Inspired by Spring!
It's still snowing where I live, and the temperatures are below freezing, but, the calendar says March, and I'm sure flowers are blossoming in many places in the world. I'll have to wait a couple of more months for flowers to blossom in my backyard, but in the meantime I'll have them blossom in my furs:)
Two of my latest creations: Short bolero jackets, sleeve stops above the elbow. Made of Sheared Mink, embellished with two tone, Handmade Mink flowers. My two beauties, Bette and Sushi seem to be pretty pleased! Happy Spring girls!

~TLC for Sears' Exclusive Mink Stole for Vintage Barbie~~
When I purchased the Sears Mink recently, the fur side was in great condition but the back side was in serious need of some TLC. And that's exactly what I gave it. I didn't use a pattern for the lining. Instead I hand folded and stitched by hand where it was needed following the curves of the stole.
The stole was sold exclusively by Sears in 1964-1965 for $9.99, and it was reduced to $7.99 at some point. It was the most expensive doll item of its time. Only a few were produced or sold, making it a rare and very expensive item today.

~Most Elaborate Cape~
Just finished my most elaborate fur ensemble. It took me almost a week and I worked a couple of hours per day, trying to put the pieces together in different ways. It started out as a capelet, then I thought, wouldn't it be nice if it had sleeves, how about a train? and a big collar, a hat , a muff? lol So I ended up with a long cape with a very long, rounded train. I'm very pleased with the results, and I think my Syb is happy too:)
