Time to boast about my wonderful uni life, my awesome friends, and my great love of sharing obsessions.
J, my Indian-from-Kenya friend has taught me the art of sari-making. I've talked about how I love Doll Divine before, I do believe, but I'm quite set in my ways, and matching is one of the largest. So…in the sake of spontaneity, J and i spent the evening with friends, first discussing tattoos, then Hinduism, and final (somehow!), we arrived at saris, and the dress-up doll at DD.
Both were modelled after myself (I'll have to get J to do herself soon!), and I thought I'd share.
Our first doll, that came complete with sari-wrapping lessons performed on my old fuzzy blanket.

| I was surprised by the purple-ish tone J picked—I can't wear that shade IRL, as it completely washes me out. Nice to dream, though! |
Our second, in the style of a modern/traditional Indian wedding. I love how red is used so much—my favourite!

| Wedding Mahara. J loved the incorporation of green that she picked, for my own accent I think I might pick a golden/caramel brown, or a teal, perhaps a paler, yellower green if I were to do this over. |
Here's the Doll Divine site—I highly recommend spending precious, valuable and productive time there.
