But this airbrush studio caugh my attention, I saw some youtube reviews of it, and I saw the posibility to be creative and make some unique clothe for my Liv dolls.
In january I looked at the Airbrush designer studio in Toys r us, and our big retail store called Bilka. But the price was 450 kr (68$), and I thought that was too much, especially because the set came with a plain barbie doll that I didnt want.
So i decided that I would have to let it go.
But then one day in february when my boyfriend and I was in Bilka, I felt the urge to look at their big bins with marked down toys. I dont often look in those bins, because I havent found annything I wansted before. But this time I found, the designer studio marked down to 200 kr (30$). The box was in bad shape, but I felt seriously tempted. I was unsure thought, since I felt like it was alot of money to use on an impulse buy. But my boyfriend urged me to get it, he said it wasent really an impulse buy since I had wanted it, and that I might regret it if it was gone the next time we would stop by. I thought he was right, so I picked our the one in the best shape (there were several of them in the bin).
And I quickly became pretty excited to try it out.
The front of the box show the airbrush studio, that you can do alot of defferent designs and it shows the stencils it comes with. It allso explain that the color will go right off, when you wash the clothe.
You can allso see the doll that it comes with.
The back shows the 4 pieces of clothing the set comes with, and more about how you do it. I really like how the clothes is differeny types instead of just 3 mini dresses, like anothe Barbie design studio I have seen around. It allso shows that there are two add on packs, with even more different clothes to decorate. That is one of the reasons I thought this set, would be able to keep me entertained. I really want those add on pakcs, it looks like they have some nice clothes in them. I would have liked to buy them soon after I tryed out the studio, but I could not find them in any of the danish stores. Offcors there is allways Ebay and Amazon, but havng to buy them online made me put it off getting them.
Here is the studio out of the package, with the markers and stencils. There are only 4 colors to work with, and I find that limiting. As far as I have seen, these kinds of playsets, dont come with many colors - which I thihnk is a shame. It would have been nice if the add on packs came with different colors, like green or yellow. But as far as I can see, one of them come with a pink marker and the other with a purple marker.
The Barbie doll that caem with the studio, is verry basic and plain. I would rather that she didnt come with this playset, since I dont want her and I dont know what to do with her. I quess I could sell her, with some of the Barbie clothe I dont whant.
Her face is pleasant enough, I like it better than the previous barbie face. I think this "new" face looks more sweet, i still think she looks plain though.
This is the first outfit I made. Hannahs favorite colors is orange, but she does not own a single piece of oraneg clothing. Since she loves animals, I decided to do the cat stencil in orange with pink hearts. I think the cat turned out okay, but the hearts ended up being pink blobs instead.
I tryed to make her a matching orange skirt, and decided to decorate it with purple stars. I think it turned out well, and the stars look really nice.
Since I dont like Barbie clothes with plain backs, I offcors decorated the mini skirt on the back as well. There is however some white spots, that I didnt get covered. It does take more time to do solid color, but I wont be lazy with this.
I was content enought with my first try, but i felt like I wanted to make something a little different for Hannah.
So I decided to wash the top and miniskirt. The orange came out right away when I put it in the wather, the pink took a little more time. But aftet I had rubbed it and let it soak, the clothes was perfectly white again, and ready for a new design.
The second time around, I decided to drop the tank and miniskirt. Instead I chose to decorate the T-shirt and pair it with Hannahs favorite skirt. I made the shirt solid orange (as best as I could) and use the setncil to make a pink cat on it. Im content with the result, it fits Hannah nicely. Its not perfect - I kinda wish I could have sprayed the orange on more evenly. But I allso think that its part of the charm.
Shina was in need of something speciel as well, she needed a dress that would match her blue glasses. I made the bodice of the dress a solid blue, and it was a perfect match. Instead of making the whole dress blue, I choose to make the skirt solid purple. I allso wanted a pattern on the skirt, and I tryed to use the stencil, to make a blue and pink zig zag pattern. But unfotunally it blurred out, and I sttled for stripes instead. I considered making a pattern on the bodice as well, but I thought that would make the dess too busy.
Im personally verry happy with how this turned out, I think its a nice simple summer dress, that is allso interesting with the colors and pattern.
And offcors I remembered to do teh back as well.
Lilly dosent have much clothes, and I have trouble figuring out her style. I wanted to make something to match her green shorts, so I made the top solid purple. I wanted the top to have a pattern, but I didnt know what woudl suit Lilly. i just ended up choosing the dimond stencil, and the blue marker. the dimond shape didnt turn out verry well, so im not really happy with how the top turned out.
My original plan with this post, was to get the add on packs, and write about them as well before I posted. But I kinda forgot about this post,a nd I kept putting off getting the add on packs. I recently took the desiogner studio out of storage, because I wanted to redo the top, and then I remembered that I was gonna meke a blog post about it. Hopefully there will be a follow up post, with the add on packs and more designs I have made.
