Overwrought on Etsy

This is an unlocked post, and the contents will be cross-posted (eventually.)  There's a stack of boxes on my desk full of stuff that needs to go!  (Although, one box is dedicated to things [info]mmymoon has already made a claim on...)

In no particular order...

Witch head and repainted LPS/Polly Pocket hybrid (copying Giulia's work, yes, but also made with Giulia's blessing...kind of a joke...)

Tan BBi Perfect Body figure with both chest plates, rerooted by Miss Merry the Third/Merryallthemoreso/Jen, repainted by me. Several pictures of this one: Full, hair detail, close, really close, moody, moodier

Male figures--well-articulated stylized rhinoceros guy (with original shoes, me-made shirt and Ken pants), Hasbro/SOTW-hybrid ape, SOTW/Eversparkle hybrid with no paint, old-style articulated Ken with neck adapted to hold Fashionist Ken head (no hair, no paint)

Stock females--a gorgeous SiS gal, original Kenner Princess Leia, Generation Girl Mari, Becky.  (These are in a condition suitable for donating to Goodwill, so offers of "postage only" are fine--even for the Leia, who I've had since childhood and have been offering online for a few years now...) *Mari is SOLD, Leia is PENDING*

Swirl suits--I designed the patterns and made both of these for female action figures *SOLD*

Obitsu body--As-is (I'm finally admitting that I'm just not fond of the Obitsu body) *SOLD*

21st Century Jacqueline/Matilda boots--These may fit MH; if anyone's interested, ask and I'll check *PENDING*

Repainted Happy Family Grandma, Bratz Kidz/Kurhn/Birdnest hair hybrid, customized Abby Chase (rerooted, lips painted by Jen, lip details and eyes by me) on a Dynamite Girls body, dressed as shown. Full body image, close up image.

Big heads--Customized Obitsu Gretel head with eye holes filled and painted, bait Namu head *Namu head is SOLD*

Denimina--the blue gal, a completely painted Teresa (the other gal shows how the Gretel head above looks on a standard Obitsu body)

Fem fig heads--The Aska with the plastic Abby wig behind it is an Aska with stains from said wig, while the other Aska is in a different kind of rough shape.  Sold as a single lot only.

Heads+ --Mostly heads, but a few other things.  All or nothing on this lot, too. *SOLD*

The MH customs are still on Etsy now, too--Repainted, custom-clothed Draculaura and repainted, custom-clothed Ghoulia.

Cotton Candy Calavera--Lea/Kayla headsculpt, completely rerooted with a mix of pink, blue, aqua, and white, using a single needle anchor thread method, and completely repainted.  On a Swappin Styles Fashionista Artsy body, dressed as shown in dress with working buttons and belt I made (Barbie shoes, not shown, are included).  Close up.

Blythe wigs and wig cap.

All repaints are done with mostly Vallejo paints for miniatures, with some Liquitex, and sealed with varying finishes of Delta Ceramcoat varnish.

I know there are more things in the boxes, I just can't find photos--or, at least, not photos of what's still there...  I'll try to motivate myself accordingly soon.  At least I stopped procrastinating on the bulk of the assortment!

Yes, there are no prices listed.  Make an offer, please.  I really wanna clear out this stuff...  Leave a comment, send me a private message, contact my email directly (andrea7566 atat yahoo dotdot com).

Thanks for looking!

Unclutterer versus Sentiment

Posted on 2012.04.13 at 08:04

"...sentimental treasures are respected and treated as treasures.

"If you’re storing sentimental items in cardboard boxes in your basement or attic or garage, it’s a pretty good sign the items are clutter and not treasures. Cardboard is easily damaged by water, mold, mildew, and pests and doesn’t protect belongings for any length of time. Plus, you can’t see your items or appreciate them through the walls of a box in a corner of a room beneath boxes of holiday decorations. If you truly treasured the items, you would protect them properly and/or display them in your home. It would be clear to a complete stranger what is a sentimental treasure to you. If it’s unclear, it’s likely the item is sentimental clutter."


Determining if a sentimental item is clutter or a treasure (aka the cardboard box test)


Yes, there are always exceptions.  There are also always excuses...
