This doll is part of my personal collection.
The only touch up is to her lips.
As you can see in the before photo, she had all of her lips, they were just faded. I color washed them VERY little. Other than that, all paint work is original. I retied her pony tail, but did not wash her hair to do so. Also, I did not reset her hard curl because she has a LOT of her curl left in it.
 I am in the midst of treating her legs for mold spots. So far so good! I'll post pics when I am done.




 

BEFORE              AFTER

Doll was a bubblecut that I re-rooted to look like a Japanese Side Part American Girl.
She is a full re-root.

She has touch ups to her brows, lips, eye shadow and blush.
   
                                              BEFORE          AFTER pic coming soon!

This Francie was given to me by my dear friend April. Poor Francie must have been Miss Popular because she was worn out!
I re-colored her face back to a sweet peachy pink skin tone. I touched up her lips, gave her brows and soem blush. I also had to touch up her shadow and black lashes. I then reset her hair.
I also restored her dress. It now has a replacement bow. The bodice was separated entirely from the skirt and it was filthy. I wish I had taken before pictures of just this dress alone! It was indeed a HOT MESS!
Thank you Anita M. for gifting me with the cape to it! I owe you one, friend! ;)





 

touch up to lips, eyelashes, blush and eyeshadow

BEFORE

AFTER



 

 Some kind of a wig had been glued to her head as you can see the glue residue on it still. I repainted her face, re-flocked, rerooted and reset her hair.
 


Formerly a #5 w/ a bad haircut and a lot of missing paint. I rerooted this doll to be a blonde swirl. She has new lips, brows, lashes and blush. I gave her cluster curls as the base of her ponytail for a dainty touch.



  

Lovely #4.. her ponytail has been retied. Hard curl has been reset and is a TRUE hard curl again. She has touch ups to her lips, lash ridges, eyeshadow and blush. She wears nylon safe pearl earrings.
     
A dark black / brown #4 with nice long hair. Although it was a bit thin, it still was salvageable and nothing needed to be added. When I removed the previous attempt at restoration, I discovered this gal had none of her original eye brows. She cleaned up well, don'tcha think?
   
Poor Francie. I had to add some coloring to her face as she was very pale. She had nice hair and although it looked thin, it really was not that bad. I repainted her face and reset her hair, adding a new hair string using the holes that the original one had been sewn in.


   
Poor dear needed a bath... BAD!! She now has a few new lashes, new blush and is a full reroot. Her biggest issue aside from her hair was that she was just dirty.

 
Re-rooted Color Magic with new lips and blush
 




 
Poor bubblecut Barbie had a haircut. I rerooted her into a Platinum AG.
 
BEFORE
   
AFTER
She has a slight nip to her upper lip. You can see it slightly in both pics. Made it difficult to paint as the "raw" vinyl wants to soak up the paint. Her black lash paint was also peeling, and you can see that in the after pic. I did not remove it as it was original to her.


 
This #4 was given to me from my friend April in TX. She thought the doll was hopeless. The doll has been given new brows, a nose nip repaired, lips, blush, eyelashes and her hair has been retied / hard curl reset. She is in my personal collection.
 
 
What a great #6!!! This doll was not suffering too terribly bad, but now she is spectacular!

 



 
This was a Bubblecut! She had absolutely NO face paint what so ever. Now with a total face paint and rooted brunette hair she looks great! A fun different spin on a Pony Tail!
 
BEFORE

AFTER
Repainted brows, lips, lashes, blush added, neck split repaired, hair washed retied and hard curl reset.
 
Was a bubble cut that had a bad haircut. Doll has been scrubbed and fully re rooted. touched up lips and lashes. Added eye shadow and a bit more blush to make her high color.

 
Authentic No Bangs Francie has had her face recolored, she has new lips, hair reset and new lashes.
   
Very bad condition Francie w/ paled face and arms. I re-colored her entire face and arms. I then repainted her face to be that of Japanese Francie. Her lashes are original, I just straightened them out. I also reset her hair.
   
Was a bubble cut that had a bad hair cut. Doll has been scrubbed and fully rerooted. Touched up lips, and lashes. Bit of blush added.

 
BEFORE and AFTER
This doll had already been re-rooted when she landed in my hands. After I removed the previous attempts at restoration, I noticed that there was something under her lip paint. It was small and square. As if someone tried to patch a hole in her mouth. I could not remove it and was forced to paint over it. Still, she makes a nice display doll.


 
BEFORE and AFTER
A lovely #5
New lips, lashes, brows and blush. Hair washed, retied pony tail and hard curl reset.

BEFORE and AFTER
Who knew that this bubble held such beauty?!
All traces of prior restoration work removed. Hair washed and reset. New lips, brows, and blush.

A great #6 was hiding there!
Hair washed, pony tail retied, hard curl reset. New lips, lashes and blush.


   
This poor #6 was a hot mess!
Reset hair, new lashes, brows, lips, blush and eye liner.
   
Probably one of the more challenging dolls I have ever had to restore. As you see, her neck was split into the hair line in the back with a good bit of missing plugs. After some serious TLC and a partial reroot, she makes a pretty good display doll!
   
       
An absolutely gorgeous #3. I left her brows untouched to give her that truly vintage appeal.
     
What a pretty #6 when all cleaned up!
