March Update

2018-03-07T10:57:00.002-08:00

I'm doing something a little different this month.

I usually have one big shop update each month, but for the month of March I am trying something new. I will be listing dresses as I make them, so they will be listed sporadically throughout the month at different times as they become available.

So, if you want to snag a dress or two, be sure to follow my Etsy shop and also follow me on Instagram for updates!

Happy Spring!

Eliza Antoinette!

2018-03-01T12:13:00.001-08:00

Here is the reveal of my “Eliza Antoinette“ doll ❤️ The doll that I created for the talented Eliza Rickman and her video campaign. 🎥
This was so much fun and took me soooo long. I am really excited to finally be able to show her to the world AND to mail her off to the backer who bought her ❤️
Eliza’s video will be coming out at the end of this month, so don’t miss it! Be sure to follow this magical musician https://www.facebook.com/elizarickman/

Melacacia Custom Blythe, Ansuz!

2018-02-06T16:00:00.001-08:00

Introducing Ansuz!

She is a little shaman girl from the time of the Vikings, and the embodiment of the rune Ansuz. She is a magical and divine force symbolizing the breath which gives life. She looks forward to meeting you!

CLICK HERE TO VISIT HER FULL LISTING

Base Doll: FBL Simply Chocolate

Work Done:

Extensive carving of the mouth, philtrum, and nose. I carved the mouth open and added little teeth inside.

All new face up and eyelids created with the highest quality artist pastels, watercolor pencils, and airbrush acrylics.

She is sealed w/ multiple coats of MSC uv-cut matte. Back plate signed and dated.

All new eyechips: 3 Melacacia hand painted (two plastic sets and one glass) and one hazel green Puppelina pair. New brown lashes.

Eye mech was altered for a corrected gaze and sleepy eyes. Pull strings have beads in a viking/rune theme.

Extra piercing on left upper ear.

New Pure Neemo Flection Body which includes 4 sets of hands.

Her scalp is handmade by me using the softest mohair I have ever worked with. Two tones: ash blond and dark brown. It is not a wig and cannot be removed. It is sewn directly onto her new Coolcat scalp.

Headdress:

I created the headdress with a vision that I had after doing some extensive research on ancient Norse Shamanism. The main "headband" part is made of faux leather. I hand beaded it with beads made from wood, tiger's eye, crystals, and shells. I acquired the bones from a local artist and they were ethically sourced. They are bones from rabbit and rodent. The feathers are from my own property and were sanitized before I worked with them. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!

She will come with the items shown in the photo of her laying flat surrounded by her goodies: dress, boots, headdress, necklace, earrings, bone wand, 3 extra pairs of Pure Neemo hands, and a random stand (which I forgot to include in photo).

Thanks for visiting!

Art Prints

2017-11-02T14:20:00.004-07:00

I received quite a few requests for prints of my Drawlloween creations (thank you!!)

So, I have listed a few in my shop!

I will continue to list more this month, just bear with me. I am new to this art print thing so I am a bit slow at getting them out there. I'm having fun with it though, I'm lightly embellishing each print and it turns out that I find that is strangely satisfying. :P I think I'll just have to continue to add art (in paper form) to my shop! :)

Happy November!

It's Drawlloween!

2017-10-09T12:32:00.004-07:00

Drawlloween is here!

Three years ago I joined in on the fun and now I look forward to it each year. If you don't already know about it, you should check it out!

Every day in October there is a drawing prompt. Everyone comes up with their own little interpretation and shares it using the hashtag #mabsdrawlloweenclub.

It's so much fun and very inspiring if you are any kind of artist :)

I join my friend Mab Graves Drawlloween club:

I hope you join in (it's not too late!)

Happy Halloween!

Newest Melacacia Girls!

2017-01-19T14:04:00.000-08:00

The newest members of the Melacacia family!
I had to make them these dresses and give one of them (Babettte) a new face up before introducing them ;);) So here they are! Still trying to decide on names....

<3 span="">

Dresses! And Drawings!

2017-01-10T08:49:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year!

So far this year, I've been working on making more dresses and listing them as I make them, almost daily. I'll be making a variety of sweet cotton dresses in different colors and prints, most of them will be the new 3/4 sleeve style but still using my signature Angel Dress pattern/design.

So keep an eye out on Instagram and Facebook for my dress posts! They sell very quickly and I am only listing 1-2 at a time (I am only one person but I'm doing the best that I can :P )

I am also currently working on my drawings and trying to get my children's book going, so I will be posting my drawings here & there as well!

Wishing you all peace and happiness this new year!

Mel

I'm writing a children's book!

2016-11-15T18:56:00.002-08:00

So, one night in October as I was falling asleep, I had a dream, a vision, about a children's book. It was so vivid and real that I jumped out of bed and had to jot it all down... The words, the images, the feel... It was all there. In that moment I knew I had to make this little book a reality, so that is what I intend on doing!
I have begun the process of illustrating and writing and I am realizing that this is going to take me some time. But once I have enough of the book completed to share with you all, you will be the first to know :)
Stay tuned for updates on this new endeavor and thanks for your support!

Meet Amethyst. She's a sweet orphan girl who is looking for a home!

2016-10-12T12:38:00.000-07:00

She was boggled and her gaze lifted and given sleepy eyes with new pull charms/beads including two genuine pieces of amethyst stone

Her scalp is rerooted in multiple shades of purple alpaca and it is incredibly beautiful and soft. It was done by Piparrot and she does amazing work!

Introducing Ava! Melacacia's September Custom Doll

2016-09-08T20:53:00.000-07:00

Introducing "Ava"
Melacacia Custom #162

Click here for her AUCTION

Ends on Sunday!

Ava (which is Latin for "bird") is a sweet little orphan girl who dreams of flying freely in the clouds with the birds.

She was fully created and customized by me, Melacacia, and had the following work done:

Completely sanded and an all new faceup was created using pastels, acrylics, and airbrush

Her eyes, nose, and mouth were reshaped and carved

3 sets of eye chips were replaced with my signature hand painted eye chips

She was boggled and her gaze lifted and given sleepy eyes with new pull charms/beads including a sweet little bird cage.

Her eyelids were airbrushed pink and then I hand painted little black birds flying.

She is signed and sealed w/ multiple coats of MSC Flat

Her hair is human hair that I hand dyed to a pink and skillfully sewed onto a new Coolcat scalp

Her body is a Pure Neemo Flexion body. If the winner of the auction prefers her original Takara body or a Licca body, please let me know and I am happy to swipe it :)

She will come with the pink Angel dress (unless the winner would prefer black, please choose and let me know)

**other items shown in photos are not included

I create all of my girls with lots of love and attention to detail. Please understand that this is a handmade doll, not fresh from a factory, so please do not bid if you expect a perfect doll ;)

I am not sure of the original mold of this doll. The head (and original body) was an RBL and the eye mechanism is unknown. The mechanism sometimes sticks after clicking the eyes open but it always clicks shut perfectly.

Please contact me with any questions before bidding

Also please follow me on IG (user name Melacacia) for more photos of her during the duration of her auction! <3 div="">

I hope you love her as much as I do!

Thanks for looking

Hello from your long lost dolly friend!

2016-07-28T15:02:00.001-07:00

Hello Dolly Friends!

It has been way too long since I have posted here on my website and that is mainly because it has been way too long since I have made a new custom doll!

Life has kept me very busy but I have recently been working on making dresses that will be available to you soon. I have missed it so much and it feels so good to be back to creating little dolly treasures for our little Blythe girls.

Please, if you don't already, follow me on Instagram for more current and frequent updates on my work!

Thank you and I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!
