Here's my Disney Store Wendy with my custom Jane doll,,,, made from a Disney Store Wendy. I am incredibly relieved at not having to reroot a doll or making a majority of her outfit from scratch and my acrylic paint + rubbing alcohol mixture was enough to tint Jane's dress to be purple. However making her jacket really helps bring her outfit together and helps her look more distinct from Wendy at least. #janedarling #janepeterpan #janepeterpandoll #peterpan #peterpanreturntoneverland #returntoneverland #disneydoll #disneydolls #wendydarling #wendydarlingdoll #wendydoll https://www.instagram.com/p/CTxddL7h7vJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Jane doesn't need tea, she needs solutions. #janedarling #janepeterpan #janepeterpandoll #peterpan #peterpanreturntoneverland #returntoneverland #disneydoll #disneydolls #wendydarling #wendydarlingdoll #wendydoll https://www.instagram.com/p/CT5NKkSBJTh/?utm_medium=tumblr

It took a couple of days to figure out a cardigan for Jane but here it is after hours of hand sewing. The jacket is ofc weirdly made so it slants on the front and the armholes are GINORMOUS to account for Jane's puffy nightgown sleeves but I'm happy she has a cardigan now since her design looked almost weird without it, Her notepad is a stack of white papers glued together along the top and a brown piece of paper glued over it with the front flipped over like the movie while the pencil is a piece of bamboo skewer sharped with a pencil sharpener to get the right angle on the tip. #janedarling #janepeterpan #janepeterpandoll #peterpan #peterpanreturntoneverland #returntoneverland #disneydoll #disneydolls #wendydarling #wendydarlingdoll #wendydoll https://www.instagram.com/p/CTxdNG7h5Pj/?utm_medium=tumblr

While I wanted Wendy to look a bit more soft and ethereal to suit the soft hand drawn animation of the 1950s film, I wanted Jane to have a bit more of a modern edge to her paint to echo the more modern sequel. I'm really happy how both have turned out especially since Jane was a pretty low effort custom in comparison to my more recent dolls. #janedarling #janepeterpan #janepeterpandoll #peterpan #peterpanreturntoneverland #returntoneverland #disneydoll #disneydolls #wendydarling #wendydarlingdoll https://www.instagram.com/p/CTb2cyVhFqA/?utm_medium=tumblr

So instead of sewing the same dress up in purple I just altered Wendy's to be purple. First I removed the bow on the front, then soaked the dress in pure acetone for ten minutes. Then with a toothbrush, scrubbed off the glitter gunk off the dress, wiping with a paper towel and rewetting it with acetone where needed. I THOROUGHLY rinse off the dress before moving on. After removing all of the excess glitter I decided to try experimenting with acrylic paint tinting the fabric. Usually I would try diluting it with water, but today I wanted to try using rubbing alcohol since I read that you can get different effects and finishes when you mix paint with different fluids. I used a mix of 1 part paint to two parts rubbing alcohol and mixed it together, then soaked the dress in the paint for about 5 minutes. Since this dress was blue and I wanted it purple I just used magenta paint, hoping a pinkish tint would shift the colour. Afterwards I fished out the dress and rinsed it out under running water. Surprisingly, after a point the water just ran clear and the paint stayed in the fabric. Usually if I dilute paint with water it just washes out entirely, but this made the paint stick to the fabric without rubbing off. I then air dried it, and then after it dried, rewetted it to test the colour fastness and it's staying on really well. The only thing I was say is that it dulled the fabric a bit but all of my paint is matte paint so I'm not surprised lol. I also did test the paint on the bow I cut off, and you CAN remove the colour tint if you soak it in acetone but it doesn't revert it back to its original colour entirely. I'm really happy with this though as it saves me days of sewing a purple nightgown in the same shape as Wendy's dress, and I can focus on sewing Jane's jacket if Australia gets free from lockdown.... #janedarling #janepeterpan #janepeterpandoll #peterpan #peterpanreturntoneverland #returntoneverland #disneydoll #disneydolls #wendydarling #wendydarlingdoll https://www.instagram.com/p/CTb2UpAh82C/?utm_medium=tumblr

I've actually been sitting on this custom for quite awhile but honestly I felt a bit guilty at how simple it felt since I was essentially just repainting a doll and that's about it for her. But here is Wendy's daughter, Jane from the movie Peter Pan 2: Return to Neverland. She's a Wendy Darling doll from the Disney Store restyled, repainted. Surprisingly it was SO difficult to get her bangs to lay down but I figured they were slightly messy to suit the character lol. Otherwise it was a simple enough face up since I just followed the face sculpt and did my own interpretation of Jane. Unfortunately for me, her slightly sassier eyebrows (compared to my wendy doll) get covered up by her fringe, but I will know they're there lol. Her nightgown is just the Disney Store Wendy version but heavily modified which I'll detail in another post. #janedarling #janepeterpan #janepeterpandoll #peterpan #peterpanreturntoneverland #returntoneverland #disneydoll #disneydolls #wendydarling #wendydarlingdoll https://www.instagram.com/p/CTb2C8vhgMu/?utm_medium=tumblr

Of course, Jane would not be complete without a notepad to cope with a situation way outside of her control. #janedarling #janepeterpan #janepeterpandoll #peterpan #peterpanreturntoneverland #returntoneverland #disneydoll #disneydolls #wendydarling #wendydarlingdoll #wendydoll https://www.instagram.com/p/CTxdXKchjRS/?utm_medium=tumblr
