When Julieanne came back from the Dawn in DC convention she spoke to Tracy about the idea of an Official Convention Pippa. Julieanne knew that Tracy, as a talented Pippa customiser, was the best person she could ask to make it work, they discussed the project many times, doing research on the web for the materials needed and planning the practicalities of bringing together 20 dolls and making them over into an identical Scottish themed doll that would be sure to thrill the conventioneers. !Click on each image to see a larger version! |

As the PIErs (Pippa in
Edinburgh Convention People) signed up they were asked to send a standard
Pippa to Tracy. Tracy worked hard on the dolls over a number of
weeks, some required minor work, others more involved restoration.
By the time she had finished all the dolls had identical features, pretty
much 'as Factory' but with gorgeous green eyes, golden highlights and
delicate little plaits. |

Tracy liaised with
Tricia, Christine, Jeni and Julieanne to create the outfit and packaging.
One week before the convention, all the dolls were dressed and ready to be
packaged and Julieanne arrived with the boxes which she had reworked into
a unique presentation display box. But first it was time for a photo
shoot! |
