All about me!
Well a little about ME (Rhonda Ingram Calhoun, creator and owner of CREAM SODA):
It all started a few years ago dabbling in a few different things.. such as full-size medival gowns for real-life people, and one of a kind (ooak) fantasy art dolls such as fairies and mermaids, etc., but now.. over the past couple of years I have come to fall in love with ball-jointed dolls (bjd) and through that, came to create CREAM SODA fashions..
While sculpting my ooak fantasy dolls, I stumbled across a few books for Yoshida style ball-jointed dolls..
I started making these dolls using the same polymer clays as my ooak fairies, and soon realized how amazing ball jointed dolls were, in comparison to the static posed sculptures I was making… What I mean to say is, how EXPRESSIVE the very SOUL of these dolls are! Why, with every tiny movement or change in pose or gesture, you could completely change the whole look and character of the doll. It was absolutely fantastic! I knew I was completely hooked when I started to make custom outfits for the dolls — I fell in LOVE with them and knew from that point on there would be no turning back! Here I was, creating a whole closet full of one of a kind fashions for ball jointed dolls, and, naturally, wanting to share this joy with others, CREAM SODA fashions was born.
I am getting so much enjoyment out of creating teeny tiny outfits in MSD and SD sizes — all of my past experience and knowledge now had an outlet for creativity, and this passion can now be shared with YOU, the community of ball-jointed doll makers and owners! Each time I create a new outfit, it seems to be my new favorite.. The ideas are pouring through and at times I wonder how I’ll ever keep up with them, cranking out new outfits almost daily… it can get pretty crazy at times, but, it is also very rewarding.. the benefits far outweigh the trouble put into sourcing the fabric and being a miniature seamstress — every effort put into the fashions are well worth it, and I am just tickled, glowing perhaps seeing the fashions on my models, as well seeing the pictures from customers who bought clothes for their treasured dolls, and they look so awesome, I just love it ^^
Treat yourself, and your doll to the great fit and look of a Cream Soda one of a kind creation — each item is unique in the world, so your doll will be the only one in the world to have such a fashion. They are all made with quality vintage clothing, and with care will last the years!
