1. Introduce yourself, who are you and where do you
live?
I am Rebecca, aka glamourfae, and I live in Indianapolis, Indiana.
2. What do you make for Blythe?
I make Blythe accessories, mostly headbands, coronets, and necklaces. I
like to use high quality beads (Swarovski crystals, Czech glass, etc)
to make my creations and I think this is one of the things that really
sets them apart. I began making my signature headbands in 2007 and am
thrilled that people still enjoy buying them. I also crochet and knit
for Blythe but beading is my main passion!
3. Where can we find your creations?
4. What are your main influences?
Victorian era, fairy tales, history, whimsy, mori style, kawaii,
kitschy, mod. I have a really eclectic mix of influences and love to
create jewelry for a specific "look". When I collaborated with Romina
of I Have Wings it was heavily influenced by Victorian and mori so I
chose beads in natural colors such as browns, ambers, deep greens,
peach. When I collaborate with Shershe I try to match her whimsical
dresses with fun, bright colors and choose beads that are pastel and
candy colored. When I am creating just for my brand, I like to chose
specific models and outfits that match the style of headband I've
created, all of which can encompass my main influences. Lately I have
been obsessed with a more "royal" fantasy look and make jewelry that
could be in the realm of Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, or Tudor
England.
5. How did you get started with Blythe dolls?
In
2005 I was in a bookstore and saw Gina Garan's postcard set of Blythe
photographs. I was really intrigued by her big eyes and unique look. I
bought the set and immediately began researching them on the internet.
It was only a few months later that I purchased my first Blythe
(Mademoiselle Rosebud) and the rest is history!
6. Do you collect anything else?
Yes,
I collect retro robots, Monster High dolls, vinyl toys, and an ungodly
amount of craft supplies that I will never be able to use up in my
lifetime.
When I was about 8 years old I had an unnatural
fear of being abducted by aliens. It gave me constant insomnia, I would
stare at the window at night thinking I saw aliens watching me, I would
look for UFOs in the sky while riding in the car, and any bright lights
coming into my window (i.e. headlights on a car) would send me into a
panic! My Dad let me watch Fire in the Sky and I suspect this is where
it came from. So, thanks Dad!
