The possibilities are endless! Being able to design and sew your own costumes for ballroom dancing to Barbie and Ken will help you create whatever you want, and here are some tips on how to do:
1. Start with the standard models of Barbie and Ken clothes. You can buy these in most fabric stores and craft websites. Monitor sales pattern, and you can save money. You probably will not find real reasons doll ballroom dancing, but you can select some suitable for dresses, suits, or whatever you think working with your ideas for costumes.
2. Decide on the style or theme of your costume. For example, when I decided to create a tango costume, I knew I wanted Ken to have pants with a shirt with long sleeves and a frame of coordination. As for Barbie, I wanted her to have a long dress with ruffles on the sleeves. Knowing a little detail like this before will start to accelerate the creative process and let you use your time more effectively.
3. Think about the quality or type of fabric and color. For tango costume, I chose the red and black fabrics in a variety of textures. Velvet, nylon and Lycra are all excellent choices, as they sew easily, and they do not shred on the edges, like many other tissues. In addition, they exhibit excellent stretch factors. Costumes made of these materials are flexible and design dolls well.

But for me, this happens rarely and I usually adjust the pattern to get what I'm looking for. To do this, I buy inexpensive muslin and experiment until I get the perfect fit. Can I use paper to draw the final pattern that I can use it again in the future.
5. Have fun with embellishments! How often you make use of glitter, glam trims, fringes colored, fluffy feathers, or bright and flashy fabrics that glow in the dark? Let imagination be your guide and have fun as you make your selections.
6. Remember that there is no right or wrong way to create your own ballroom costumes Barbie and Ken as long as you are happy with the final product. Your unique designs will be the envy of the doll and many dance lovers. Do not be afraid to experiment with colors and textures. Sometimes accidents happen along the way and unexpected style may actually be better than the original. Good luck, enjoy, and let the dancing begin!

By Victor Epand

With time, every aspect of our life has become more sophisticated and advanced toys for children is not away from the impact. Toys for children have witnessed a sudden burst of variety and overwhelming choices. Toys now have a revised definition though they are now not just sources of fun and entertainment, but a lot of toys serve as a mode of education and training for children. There is yet another more interesting aspect to toys and they are very aptly named collectibles. The toy manufacturers have now created a new market for collectibles, its amazing how these collectible or rather items have found buyers among children and adults both. For example Ashton Drake dolls, if you have seen at least one Aston Drake doll, you would know why they are called collectibles. Ashton Drake Dolls are very real looking dolls and the sizes that they come in make them look all the more real because the sizes of dolls mostly correspond to real human-size.

One has to take note of the fact that most of the online sellers of the Ashton Drake Dolls clearly mention that these dolls are not meant for children to play with it. Most of them market these dolls as 'dolls for the child in you'. It is certainly an amusing concept as some of the websites have an outlet where the dolls are sold in the manner the hospitals discharge a newborn baby. The buyers of the Ashton Drake Dolls who come to the store are treated as the new parents and once they buy the doll of their choice they are handed over the doll bought as if they are sending the newborn home with the new parents. One feels how creative the toys and collectibles have become and equally creative are the sellers of these toys.

Most of the Ashton Drake Dolls are created based on themes and are marketed based on those themes. Like for an example 'Emmy' is one of the from a theme based collection called - Tiny Miracles. It's a baby girl doll that is again a very real looking baby doll and is one of the most popular collectibles of Ashton Drake's products.

Normally most of the dolls that are the toy dolls are made up of either plastic, fiber or wood but the Ashton Drake Dolls are known to use their trademark materials that give all their dolls and also other collections like Teddy Bears, jewelry, Figurines and Ornaments close to life and very real feel. One can say that Ashton Drake is one of the popular and highly acclaimed companies that manufacture realistic dolls and Teddy bears. All the features of the Ashton Drake Dolls are carefully carved out of again their trademarked material Real-Touch Vinyl Skin. The hair is micro-rooted and the eyelashes are deceptively real and one can't find any visible difference between real and created eye lashes here. A close observation would reveal that even the fingernails and toenails are hand painted to give the doll an overall realistic look.

Vintage Paper Dolls - The Beginning

In Pioneer America, vintage paper dolls were a valuable treasure since paper was limited. You were given a paper doll, maybe two. The paper doll provides a very broad look at the cultures from all around the world. The most obvious were the vintage paper dolls representing royalty and for the children of royalty.

Paper dolls first appeared in the 18th Century in Paris, during the reign of Louis XV. On the other side of the English Channel, proper British printers printed the paper dolls. They would mix fun and virtue by printing stories with morals and values, on flat sheets of paper, and that comprised the dolls. Vintage paper dolls were then produced as a beautifully lithographed full-color collection. It was from that era the paper doll was invented.

In 1866, an artist named Raphael Tuck, was perhaps the best known manufacturer of the vintage paper dolls. The trademark style of this company was the set of vintage paper doll costumes and interchangeable heads. There were dolls representing actors from the theater, stage, opera and even television. The time when the vintage paper dolls were the most popular was during the 1930's to the 1950's. Collecting vintage paper dolls is exciting and can be done very inexpensively. Venture back in your memories of sitting down with your paper dolls, playing with your friends. Now you will be able to relive those memories with your vintage paper dolls collection.

The Art of Reborn Baby Dolls - As Real As They Get
By Jay Villaverde

The latest rage in dolls and doll collecting has been reborn dolls. Odd name you may think for dolls but it's because of the process of making these dolls, that they get their name.

Reborn dolls are highly realistic looking dolls made of vinyl that begin their life as ordinary dolls which are taken apart and reassembled. This is where the name (reborn) comes from. The artists put in a lot of time and effort to ensure that the dolls look and feel as real as possible. These dolls are becoming highly sought after by collectors and amateurs alike due to the realism of the doll.

A lot of hard work and hours are put into making these reborn dolls, every minute detail is performed to create a lifelike looking doll. The result of all this hard work is when you look at a reborn doll it will many times be mistaken for a . You would expect at any time for it to cry or laugh out loud. It is no wonder that these masterpieces are hardly toys for children to play with, these are a different dolls all together.

The reborn process is methodical and precise, every step is taken to detail to ensure that the artist can basically start out with a new doll and put it all together to resemble a newborn baby. After the doll has been taken apart and stripped of all factory paint and hair, to remove any remaining residual of paint and glue it is then bathed and thoroughly dried. This routine is simply the first step to a reborn.

After the last process the doll is now ready for the artist who hand roots its hair, usually Angora Kid mohair is used. To make the doll realistic, hair is sealed from the inside, this allows for styling the hair of which it is then hand-dyed to a particular color. The next stage is for the doll to be painted from the inside by in order to give it a natural looking skin tone.

After the doll is completely dry, the artist will use oil paint or oil based pastels to create and highlight natural looking skin creases on the outside, by doing this the doll looks even more lifelike. Eyebrows are hand-painted using acrylic paint, the same applies to the lips except these are finished with gloss sealer.

For the sleeping babies hand rooted mohair is used for their eyelashes, and for the open eyed babies glue is used. Finally the nose of the doll is opened by the artist so that the doll can breathe (remember this is a baby), after which he lines the opening with black felt and lastly the doll's fingernails and toenails are painted and sealed with white tips.

Now that the doll has been reassembled most frequently an artist likes to fill the limbs with high quality sand this gives a realistic weight to the doll. Each of the limbs are topped with poly fill and sealed with glue. More often than not an artist likes to fill the doll with craft pellets, glass beads or metal balls this is to add to the weight as poly fill is more for making the baby look plump. After the head has been put in place, the artist takes great care in painting fine lines to resemble the veins and ears.

The completed doll is now the most realistic looking doll to date. It's become highly sought after as collectibles and conversation pieces. A lot of adult people who buy these dolls or reborn babies actually take time out to go shopping and buy complete baby outfits, all matching colors. It is not unusual for them to have a high quality stroller to push their babies about. After all, these reborns look so lifelike that walking past a stroller would make most people stop and admire the baby.

Hottest Ugly Doll Toys

uglydoll

are the hottest collectibles today; both kids and adults are always on the lookout for the latest editions. Each doll is handmade and has their unique individual personalities. Created by David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim, they play up to the ugly theme with cute but monstrous design features like having 3 eyes, or just one eye, or snaggly teeth, or tentacles. I have my personal favorites and it's a satisfying feeling that no other people share the same doll as mine.

Abima

is out of control! He's got his hand in the cookie jar, and his mind on the next adventure, which is probably going to involve bouncing off the walls and knocking over expensive stuff. He only knocks over the expensive stuff. Not to worry though. This adorable doll is very protective and would always watch out for you.

Babo

will protect you and what Babo lacks in mind power, he makes up for in love. He's everybody's best friend. He will stick with you to the end and when something scary happens, he will send you a nice greeting card from wherever it is he runs away to. A very curious, mischievous creature, Babo may need some guidance and parenting, so make sure to bring him with you to as many places as possible.

ugly dollDeer Ugly

Deer Ugly lives in the forest where it's nice and quiet. But deep down, he's thinking: "Please take me home with you!" The nice quiet forest is great, but Deer Ugly wants to see the world...YOUR world! He wants to explore the fantastic places you frequent. Like that room with the desk and computer?

Cinko

This adorable doll fears the water. The best way to keep Cinko calm is to sit him down next to you to watch TV. Watch something about dry stuff. Maybe sit him on a towel. Those are dry. Or tell him your best joke.
