Hello again everyone, your creator here! I’ve been enjoying my hiatus as a new parent, but new projects are on the horizon. No release date yet, but this is what I’m planning! Some updates:
When I stopped customizing, the market was flooded with custom dolls. It has become so much easier to create simple custom dolls that I knew I had to carve my own niche. I’ve been brainstorming and have decided to offer several custom pieces that NO ONE else on the market is offering.
What made American Girl so special to me as a child? The stories, of course! But I’ve never seen a custom doll come with a story. My background is in writing and illustration, so I’m proud to announce that every custom doll will now come with her own special story, with blank pages for girls to fill in! Naturally any commissioned doll will have her story tailored to her owner’s preference.
Personally, I was more drawn to the historical dolls as a kid. I’ve always had a love for history and historical fashion. America has such a rich history that I’d love to offer custom historical dolls for time periods, places, and backgrounds that haven’t yet been featured by the American Girl company. I’d also like these dolls to more reflect the spirit of younger girls, as I personally feel many of the newer historical dolls feel quite “grown up.”
These projects will take time, but I’m so excited to be back embarking on this adventure. Stay tuned!
