Vendor Interview- Atelier Blythe

1. Introduce yourself, who are you and where do you live?

    Hi! I’m Sharon (sassybead) Sears. I’m from the beautiful city of Seattle.

2. What do you make for Blythe?

    I love to make all kinds of things for Blythe, and I sew and knit for her. At my Blythecon table, you will find raincoats and hats, fancy knitted berets, pretty Mighty Nighties, and a steampunk outfit or two.

3. Where can we find your creations?

    I have a shop on etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/AtelierBlythe

4. What are your main influences?

    Vintage fashions are a huge influence for me. I love color too, so that will often influence the direction my projects take. There are many wonderful Blythe artisans whom I admire as well!

5. How did you get started with Blythe dolls?

    My friend Heather in California introduced me to Blythe. She and a friend wanted to get the SBL Prima Dolly collection (Ashlette, Violetta, and Ginger), and Heather asked me if I wanted to buy Ashlette so that we each had one. A few explorations on the Web, and I was sold! I’m one of those people who can say I’ve never looked back since that day. 

6. Do you collect anything else?

    I do have other doll collections - Monster High and mini Lalaloopsies, Liddle Kiddles. I also love demitasse cups and saucers. Oh and fabric… yarn… but those don’t count if they’re materials for my shop do they?

7. What's one interesting fact we may not know about you?

    In addition to sewing, knitting, and beading, I also tat. And, I played the violin all through school.

Tinsel

... Will she find it? 

Tinsel is on the hunt of a lifetime. A long time ago in a dark, deep forest, Tinsel lost her heart. She has been searching  for it ever since and is so hopeful that she'll find it in the Emerald City! She has heard that this city is magical, and that those who come seeking their dreams with an open and happy soul are often rewarded. So, Tinsel has set out, meeting other travelers and finding new friends, and having many adventures along the way! 

Tinsel is happibug's donation for Blythecon Seattle. Tinsel is an RBL mold (University of Love) dolly with a "Kiss Me True" scalp, trimmed into a layered bob and over-dyed for depth. Tinsel's little Tin Man uniform is made by happibug as well, and features a stretchy silver metallic jumpsuit and hat with heart appliqués. Tinsel has had extensive carving, airbrushed make-up with hand-painted and chalk pastel details, four pairs of happibug's handpainted chips, airbrushed lids with a handpainted stitched heart, and custom pull charms. Tinsel is happibug custom #190. She was created with lots and lots of love and care, just for the attendees of Blythecon Seattle, and she is so excited to meet you! Please come see her at the raffle table, and come by and see me at my booth! Lots of love, happibug 

Thank you so much Lynne for this spectacular BlytheCon raffle donation!  We greatly appreciate your generosity, support, & the heart you have put into creating Tinsel for the Seattle BlytheCon!

4. What are your main influences?

Hmmm, as far as Blythe-outfit-wise, Marie Antoinette?  Or anything I want to wear.    

5. How did you get started with Blythe dolls?

I saw a Blythe at a toy shop in Tokyo long time ago.  I thought $100 for a doll is crazy at the time so I didn't get it but kept on thinking about it.  One day I found one online and that did it.  

6. Do you collect anything else?

I collect vintage Licca.  I'm a big fan of 1st gen from 60's.  

7. What's one interesting fact we may not know about you?

I've been working on my own line of doll.  One is middle size BJD and there are few other projects I'm currently working on.  Once BC Seattle is over, I'd like to focus on finishing all of them so I can have an art show.  This and that in life takes so much time, so I really really want to concentrate on it!  

Raffle & Goody Bag Spotlight: Confetti by Lexi

Up next we have a very special donation by Confetti by Lexi.  Confetti by Lexi has begun a tradition of creating and donating Blythe sized magazines for the BlytheCon gift bags.  This will be the 3rd year in a row she has so generously donated to BlytheCon and created these wonderful mini Blythe magazines.  Confetti by Lexi is also donating two 8x11 inch prints to the raffle.  We would like to thank you so much Lexi for all of your time, hard work, & kindness!  Confetti by Lexi gets inspired by finding a local & popular magazine of the host city of BlytheCon. Then she creates a fabulous Blythe version of the local magazine & shrinks it down to fit into Blythes little hands.

This year we are so lucky that she has created a Blythe version of our local magazine the Stranger!  Lexi's daughter provided the fantastic artwork seen in the background, so we would like to also thank her for this amazing contribution!  We absolutely love how it turned out and we are extremely excited to be able to share this with all of you now.

Vendor Interview- Puppy52

 

 

1. Introduce yourself, who are you and where do you live?

Herro, I am Chun/puppy52, I'm a Singaporean Chinese currently living in Vancouver, Canada with my Husband and our two cats :D

2. What do you make for Blythe?

I enjoy making casual and girly clothing for Blythes, I love cute things and I hope the things I make are cute!

4. What are your main influences?

I think I am influenced by actual human fashion, things which I think looks good and also clothing made by my fellow Blythe seamstresses - adding a touch of my own twist.

I like clean lines, well fitted outfits but that sometimes can mean my sewing need some wiggling to put onto the doll ^o^;

5. How did you get started with Blythe dolls?

I first came across blythe on a friend's xanga, the first couple images I saw was of an open head blythe! Imagine the horror I felt lol!

But eventually I saw that Blythe was a muse for my friends, and for many others around the world, and I was hooked before I know it!

I started making clothes for my first Blythe, after lots of trial and error I got to where I am.

6. Do you collect anything else?

I currently am collecting 60 cm Dollfie dream, by Volks Japan and just started a new obsession with Smart Doll (manual version) I make clothing for them more frequently.

I have a few other type of dolls which unfortunately I don't have time to create for. Also fabric, lots of fabric ^^;;;; I especially LOVE Japanese fabric with cute prints. But I have tried to slow down my purchases in recent years.

7. What's one interesting fact we may not know about you?

I have been drawing illustrations since my teens and have an art page http://puppy52art.com, I currently draw a running weekly comic strips heavily inspired by our cats for a Singapore chinese daily papers, and translate it to english on ginkoyoshi.com One more tibit: Despite the "puppy" in my usernames, I love cats, very very much :P
