MEET Eleanor
Eleanor is my newest custom doll. When GOTY Grace debuted, I saw this photo of her in a bomber jacket by
Snister's Flock.
I immediately imagined Grace as a 1940's girl who dreams of flying planes. Obviously, I did not end up getting Grace (that darn historically inaccurate side bang!). Instead, I had the opportunity to get MyAG #61. I knew she'd be my fly girl. But there was something about those green eyes...
They just weren't right. So I started out by buying a set of eyes to repaint for her.

Then I found this photo and challenged Michelle from
Custom Eyes on facebook to create them!

| I'm a sucker for space! |
| Aren't they gorgeous?! | |

One relatively easy eye swap later (practice first on another doll!), Eleanor was born. Her older sister is WASP pilot in the war, and Eleanor dreams of one day being a pilot too. She loves tap dancing, radio shows like the Adventures of Captain Midnight, Nancy Drew books, science fiction, and is also a Girl Scout!
Keep 'em flying, Eleanor!
