Hi, Your Tina is very beautiful and her outfit is very sweet looking. Did you do her pig tails with a magnet? How big is she? I haven't attempted a toddler yet. yikes..that would be a job to root them.

Thank you so much Aviva. Tina's hair is Secrist mohair, and I just glued it inside with Ultimate glue and styled it. It is so pretty and shiny. It didn't take very long to root. I needed to put a lot of hair on her head, so I was able to use a larger 38 gauge rooting needle from Secrist. It doesn't look pluggy at all. I just go over the head, when I finish, and pull out anything that looks at all pluggy. I did a Stoete Audrey recently, it took forever to do that newborn look with a 43 gauge German forked needle. It was worth it though, one of my customers came over a couple of weeks ago, wanting to see the babies I have ready for the doll show this weekend. The customer snapped up Audrey right away. I just had to share Tina. She really melts my heart, so much so, that I ordered another Tina right away, otherwise I don't know how I would part with her. Have a great day, and thanks for your kind words.
I couldn't bond with my Tina, but your might change my mind. I don't think I've ever seen a cuter Tina. You did a fabulous job with her. I, too, am curious about her limbs.

Well, I can see that making an account would have been better, since anyone can post with the same name I have "anonymous", oh well. I think the limbs belonged to Daniel by Maribel Villanova, but I am using Secrist 22" limbs on my next Tina. I measured them next to the limbs I have on Tina, and they are very similar in size. I think she looks so nice and chunky, because I used a 24" in body on her. I sure wish Secrist would start selling a body in that size. Thank you so much for your wonderful compliments on my Tina. I am overwhelmed.
