Nothing fake about this photo, not a single bit of photo-shopping. I had to put a cap on her because the wind was blowing hair in her face. A tad chilly, but silicone won't develop goose bumps.

This fur feels so good.

Ok, can we pretend for just a minute she isn't a doll. Let's just say you came home and your girlfriend is laying on a table....

This chair was covered with the same fabric as the couch I built earlier this year.

The finished chair. 

The wood buns prior to fabric. 

I cut wood buns to fit inside the circles of the chair back. 

I added the wings on the back of the chair because it reminded me of palm trees. My doll was manufactured in Florida where palm trees are native. I named her Miami for the same reason.

This is the girl the chair was built for. 

I needed a chair scaled down for a MLD, so I built this.

I took this photo for minilovedolls.com because they wanted some money-maker shots. It might be worth mentioning, these holes are over 8 inches deep. Not too bad for a "mini" love doll. 

There's something about this girl I like, I just can't quite put my finger on it.

Note to self, just because you see a hot girl wearing jeans with one leg cutoff, torn up, don't think your doll will look hot. Nothing wrong with the doll, something wrong with the jeans. Not sure what.

It doesn't matter how nice the kitchen, she still can't cook!!! Sigh...

                             Quick, before we move the bed in, look pretty for the camera!

It's hard to believe this doll is only 42" tall. She was made by minilovedolls.com

My doll has an internal skeleton but her joints aren't quite stiff enough to stand on her own. So I built a stand for her so I could photograph her standing. Here she is with the stand concealed behind her. 

And the following photos show what the stand looks like. 

These boots are made for walking... and posing!!!

As any Mini Love Doll owner knows, great things come in small packages, but when it comes to clothing them or posing them in the real world their size can be challenging. The above photo shows both the couch and the boots. 

Finding sexy shoes for a foot this small (size 5 in toddler) is nearly impossible. So I decided to make my own high heel boots. I cut some thin steel plate for the sole and bent them into a curved shape, then welded some round rod onto the sole for the heel.

The blue color is from the bondo used to fill in the low areas and to give it shape. Bondo is used for filling dents on a car body prior to painting.

So then I strapped my doll's feet into the steel sole using wire and covered her feet with fiberglass cloth/resin. 

This formed a hard shell which was finished off with the blue bondo, and black paint.

I found some great black imitation leather at a fabric store and used Super-glue to attach it to the shoe.

Now that my doll had some sexy boots to wear, she needed a good way to show them off, so I built what is called a fainting couch. Fainting couches were popular in the 19th century, and were particularly used by women. One theory for the predominance of fainting couches is that women actually were fainting, because their corsets were too tight, restricting blood flow. But I think they just look sexy. And what a great piece of furniture to drape a lovely doll over, with so many different positions.

 This was such a fun project to work on. Little did I know when I bought this doll that I'd spend most my time making things for her, but it's been so much fun creating things in a smaller scale so the world around her doesn't look so big. Here's a photo of the couch as it sets on top of a full size Love Seat so you can get an idea of scale.

And here are a couple photos of the couch prior to being painted and upholstered.

 Next on my list is to build a sexy bed also scaled down to the size of the Mini Love Doll, so be looking for that.
