Hi Every one My First Malibu Barbie Re-root. I am so pleased with her. I hope you all like her. These ladies do take longer because of the large amount of plugs needed but the results I think speak for themselves.  Kind regards Kevin x |

She is like "WOW" Kevin!!   You have so much patience to do this all the time. but you are saving History with each doll you restore, so you must be applauded for your tenacity ;D  Is the dress an original vintage one? Her hair colour is gorgeous - just right for Summer  Luv Anita xxx |

Kevin, Firstly congratulations for being member of the month for (hopefully) sunny June!  Malibu Barbie is completely gorgeous! Gosh! I bet it did take you a while to complete her, but all the time it took was well worth it!  |

Hi Every one
I am so pleased you like the Malibu, she is the first one I have re-rooted and she came to me as you can see very badly hacked but otherwise in good condition.
She did have quite a few plugs needed but was a nice change from the more complex patterns I have been working on of late like the Skipper and Patches so I used her to chill out when the more complicated ones needed some thought.
More pictures will be posted as they are finished but I am still working on a few commissions so I have to fit them in when I can
Kind regards
Kevin x x x

Hi Anita
its a data base which links full size images into a catalogue as thumb nails and then you can have information fields as much as you want behind the pictures its a superb programe used to make catalogues and the like enabling image printing from the master file held on computer. You just link your full size picture into the database. The catalogue programe is actually a minor extra provided with an image manipulation programe. I have found it very stable and ideal for many applications.

As always Kevin, you have done a fantastic job.
I don't know how you get them done so quickly, I am still working on my 60's Sindy re-root. I have been bitting and bobbing with it for ages.
Luv
Dawn
