Beadbloggers and some photos by Jean of a custom Blythe

My custom, Wolvy, by Cindy Sowers, has an amazing mane of gorgeous mohair in all sorts of fantasy colors. She is wearing a Cindy Sowers dress and her earrings are by me. She is an FBL (a very fair skinned girl). FBLs are a particular fave of mine! Cindy's Etsy shop is here.

note: in this photo below, Wolvy is posing next to a print by Mab Graves. I think Mab's work is entrancing! She rightfully has a cult following.  :)  jean
