Caty is a doll.
Today is one of those days where I realize how much I haven’t posted.
I sat down to type up a post about a finished project I named Bi-Little Pony. The project involves a person serving as an inspiration who I have Dolled before so I went back to find those posts and found…only one post. I’d never posted the final product.
In May of 2018 I’d recently returned to Japan from a trip to America with some Barbie Made-to-move bodies in my luggage. The curvier MTM body inspired me to buy a used Byul doll I’d seen with matching skin tone.
I had a model for the doll, my friend Caty. Caty is an amazing MUA on Instagram. Go check her out NOW. Caty had done a look inspired by one of my dolls. I then decided to do a doll based on one of her looks.
I wrote up a whole post detailing how I put the Byul head on a MTM curvy body...but failed to follow up after that. The last time I featured her here she looked like this. She had a new body and a temporary outfit and wig but I hadn't remade her face or found the right wig for her. There might be some more photos of her here and there in the blog, but if there are I haven't properly tagged Byul.
So, what has happened to Caty Byul since?New face! This was the midway point.
Then I got her a new wig at Mandarake (I usually buy used wigs but Caty was sporting a her own wig in a color I wasn't likely to find used quickly) and new eye chips by BeBeBlythe on Etsy. It was getting closer but she was still sitting around in a random outfit.
I found a pattern for the Curvy Barbie Fasionistas by DGRequiem on Etsy and some suitably bright fabric. I swiped some insane stockings from my stash as well.
And, as a final tribute I made her a simple felt beret...seen here with an almost matching fuzzy backpack.
And that should catch me up on enough Caty-Inspired posts to start writing about..Bi-Little Pony
