So I've been planning and saving to do this custom for a while, and I managed to come up with the money... Mid-May, I believe it was. I should have had this parcel earlier, but I was hit by customs - the bane of all collectors - and she only arrived an hour ago. This is my first time using inset eyes, so any tips would be much appreciated, but I am fond of my little Matilda!

I did want just a plain blue dress for her, but I found the idea of dressing her little Alice in Wonderland too tempting, hence the Alice style dress. We did think about putting the bow on, but she found it far too loud for her tastes, and kindly requested that I put it away safely. Then asked me if I had anything for her to read - think I'll need to look into getting little miniature books.

Here she is with Anne and Beatrice, my two Ai dolls, who happen to be - at present - my only ball-jointed dolls. Anne and Beatrice are very chummy with each other; so I don't know if Matilda will be able to get into that friendship. I hope she does, I wouldn't like for her to be lonely.
So... yeah, there's my first little tiny custom. I'm very fond of her.
