Before I even started working on Trixie, I ordered Olive to add to our family. Olive is a factory Blythe doll. This means she is not a Stock doll (comes with a name, outfit, and in a box), but she is also not a fake (clone). She is pieced together with real original doll parts. There are advantages to buying a factory doll: they are real (which makes a huge difference in quality), they have soft and often colorful hair, and their price tag is smaller than a stock doll. Her head is stamped 2006 and her body is a 2002. I fell in love with her green hair instantly. She and Trixie became fast friends.
I have not yet done any work on Olive, and don’t plan to until after I get more practice on a recently acquired Basaak (fake) doll. Story also has a Basaak we will be starting to work on (hopefully today if my back pain allows it!). After our Basaaks are complete, I will be creating Olive and she will be creating Kaiya! I can barely contain my excitement! She has also been playing around with making some clothes for us. It will be nice when we no longer have to wait for two months to receive the little pieces we need for our girls. Shipping from other countries already takes forever, now add Covid19 delays on top of it. 😦
Here are some fun photos I took of Olive a few years back:
