Tsukifly Mix&Match and headpieces

I have been inspired lately.
Unfortunately I have currently no access to any sewing machine so everything must be done by hand.
This takes time and effort, however, I consider the pieces made by hand as good in quality as those done by sewing machine. Very old fashioned ways, but that was how it was done before sewing machines.

Some of the new designs have been added to the store.
Recently my good friend featured Tsukifly's Storenvy shop in her blog. Thank you!
Please take a look, also for cute giveaways.
Her blog is named Caketown ~

She was also the one to introduce me Storenvy. I have been greatly inspired by the whole thing although I am still a bit unsure how the whole thing will start to work in the long run. Something that I have to see during longer period of time.

I was asked to do some Mix&Match with Tsukifly clothing. As I now consider I have enough stock around to try them on I also discovered that the skirts made in SD/SD13 size do fit nicely also on Supergem girls. Luella (Soom MD Cuprit) is wearing all possibly by me. The flower headpiece was done today, the choker has been listed for sale and the skirt and top will be there at some point. It is challenging for me to get whole pictures to function. I prefer close-ups. But my point here was that all the pieces can be worn together and are thus quite functional in my opinion.

Headpieces - Today's project

Well, not all were done today, as the first picture shows previously made pin with a beaded dragonfly and flower details. I just needed to get proper pictures of it. Had not done that yet. Luella is also wearing the black choker for the pictures so I got that one pictured as well. Happy about that.

 Okay, these two headpieces were the ones I made today. I wanted something with a summer touch to it. Lace was used for the band itself with nice (and big!) flower details. I also love things that hang and therefore both of the pieces have something hanging from them. The other more than the other :) The pink one has a small pink ribbon and plain gold ring details, not really visible in the picture though (sorry!). The blue one had Alice in Wonderland white rabbit, chair and playing card attached on the other side while the other side has a spoon and a clock details. More of a theme headpiece.

I don't know about you, but I am complete fan of these headpieces.

It is likely that I will do some other colors and designs similar to these.

I also welcome commissions if there are any specific color combinations/designs you would like to see.

Always open to try out everything new.

Tsukifly has a store~!

I must say I did not plan to set up a store so quickly.
However, I concluded it would be easier to keep track of what I have in stock and what I would like to make next. Some variety in products will be achieved through this, I hope.

The Store can be found from: http://tsukifly.storenvy.com/
I will try to keep it as updated as possible. Most of the stock I have available ready  to be shipped are now there. The blog as well as the story are still to be made more user friendly. I will be doing the work when I have time. Please enjoy~

New products include underwears!~
I heard they might be wanted so I wanted to try and make some.
This is a set offered at the shop, includes both top and panties pictured. Size is SD, but I plan to try some in MSD as well. Later also MNF size if I am able to get my hands on a model.

 I am very pleased how Supergem bra turned out. The color is not exactly what my girl would wear but then again they were made out of curiosity. Personally I love how the details came out.

I also had some cute leftover stuff to make some necklaces. I still have plans for several others but they have to wait a little until I have more time to think about them.

Also a cute Lollipop/ribbon necklace. Have to have some accessories as well.

Overall a lot of work for one day. I think I have earned my break. Please keep checking back.

New design and a pullip dress

Dolliverse has gone and other things have been in my mind.

My lovely suitcases.
White one for Alina (CP Juri '05) and pink/flower one for Vanamo and Hisa
Also found cute pastilles. 

My dear friend went back to China and I am also leaving the Netherlands for a while to do my internship.
I am hoping to have access to sewing machine and my extensive fabric collection better when I get back home home. I suspect I might feel like opening a treasure chest or something~

At least now I have some pictures to share.
The suitcases I chose from our table at Dolliverse to be used for some dolly photos later. Absolutely love their details. There is also a hot air balloon necklace thing shown on one of the suitcases. That is going to be a necklace for either Hisa or Vanamo. Will see who will claim it once I get it done.

As said in my previous post there would have been more demand for pullip sized dresses.

I decided to test one as my dear friend was kind enough to provide me one extra body as a model.

Poor thing is headless, not really an ideal model but still, the dress can be shown :3

The light blue Pullip dress shown above is currently for sale: 17 Euros +  shipping

 

My lovely Luella (Soom MD Cuprit) is modeling a new lace tie back top.

Etsy fabrics which I will use later for dresses

Too dark for her style, but this was made to be offered for sale.
I think I like the design though. Also love the details through laces and ribbons (there are two at the back, as well as nother detail as there is only one snap fastener). I am fan of my own things~

I got loads of new fabrics and ribbons.
My lovely friend contributed a lot - Thank you sweetie ♥

I had also placed an Etsy order for some new fabrics. They arrived this week and are absolutely lovely. Have to wait a bit till I get around doing something with them but they are so nice to look at. Keep it as a glimpse of what might be used for future designs.


Black lace tie back top.

I must say I was very happy to receive a commission work for one of my dress designs.
I will be updating picture of the finished product once that has been done.
As for the designs I can do them in different sizes if there is interest.

I am going to update commission/general infos and such later on. I have been considering whether to open an Etsy shop of my own. However, so far I don't have enough courage or time for that. Would need to do some better picture taking.

Maybe later then. For now I will just enjoy using all these new fabrics and surfing Etsy for new things (there can never be enough)..

Dolliverse 2013

So, yesterday I attended to Dolliverse 2013, a wonderful dolly event here in the Netherlands.

Met a lot of wonderful people and a special thanks to all those who liked my dresses and bought them.

 

Last time I had issues as I had very little time to prepare and very little to sell.

Now I had more which is why it took so long to get the stand up.

All those price tags...

I feel I was right to make tiny dresses as there were many tinies to  try them out.

However, I did notice that more Pullip sized clothing would have been needed.

Both dresses I had in Pullip size were sold.

There is something for me to consider for the next time I hope.

So, a list to remind me later.

 

To do better next time:

- Stand display planning

- Pullip sized clothing

- MSD sized clothing

 

Mai - DD-Anne March Hare is searching for a new home, she was also on display at the table.

Thus, it was not only the clothing but also DD-Anne table set and her, which made half of the display for this time.

 

Overall I am very pleased how the day went.

Now I will post some of the remaining stock to Den of Angels for sale.

The actual sales post can be viewed here:

Some pictures from yesterday as well. To share my excitement of the day.

My Hisa ( the one standing) and her twin sister Himawari were the cuties of our table

My attempt to take a picture of the stand itself..

A closer picture of the Tsukifly side of the table (as I shared my table with my friend).

 

My next plans are to work on some Alice in Wonderland themed dress sets.

I have plans for at least a girly white rabbit outfit set - So far I have half finished with a hat.

Also I need to plan a Cheshire outfit. Each of my girls is to take on a character from Alice in a photoshoot.

Once I get there someday. Of course would be awesome to make all the outfits for them myself under Tsukifly.

That is something to try at least.

So yes, that is all for now.

Big day tomorrow!

I have been working on the remaining stuff for the table set-up.

Dolliverse will be tomorrow! 16th June, 2013~!

There will be a whole table set for sale, kind of special one, Alice themed by a chinese artist DD-Anne.

Necklace stuffs also arrived so I was able to make some new designs :3

(See a teaser below.. )

So many amazing stuff. I totally love Etsy ~

We had a temporary background problem, but luckily we figured out a solution.

Tomorrow it will be seen whether that will work in practice.

 

I have also painted some mannequins, even made a wire stand for one.

Going to do similar ones for the others, but for now they just have to stand in some other way.

I really love how they display the clothes though.

 

People just shouldn't be afraid to also buy the dresses on the mannequins as well as on hangers. Nobody will ruin my table set-up by doing that, they are there to find new homes and bring happiness for dolls and owners who buy them :3

I am excited to see how these designs will be received by the people.

Tomorrow I shall finally see.



A teaser how necklaces will be displayed and what might be available at our Dolliverse table.

 

Finally, I had some serious problems to be able to fit everything in my suit case.

Setting up a table requires a lot of additional stuff on top of all the sales stuff and stock I have.

Whoah. Somehow I got all packed up. For now. Only my camera remains... And I seriously want that with me as well..!

I just have to fit it somewhere else..

 

If you are around Utrech, The Netherlands tomorrow there is Dolliverse to visit!

I hope to have some news and table pictures later, provided that I get the camera with me.

Thank you for reading~

June has started

Yet another month has started.

It seems that summer is gradually here.

Along with June there will be Dolliverse in few weeks time!~

 

Other things have taken my time lately, but some work has been done.

Firstly, I took my tinies out to a japanese garden to have some nice pictures of some Tsukifly dresses.

Mai (DD-Anne March Hare) displaying one of the longer tiny dresses.
She herself may be up for sale as a DD-Anne fullset as well.

Enne (Soom R.Picro) displaying one of the shorter tiny dresses.
She will be offered for sale at Dolliverse as well.

Sewing has taken direction from tiny dresses towards SD sized skirts. Here are few new ones. Good for making Mix&Match. I cannot wait to test how they display hanging in the rack.

My plans to make some shirts has been postponed until further notice..

Mai displaying heavier tiny dress seen previously on Enne.
She can carry it a bit better.

 Lately I have been inspired by Alice in Wonderland a lot. May be partly because of Mai, but I have had this plan of making a themeshoot with this theme for a longer time. Haven't got around doing something for it. But now it seems I have allocated characters for my dollies and some outfits are slowly coming together. So later during the summer there might actually be some pictures.. and dresses to that regard.

Next week is for building the table display for Dolliverse and seeing through the dresses, skirts and all the other stuff. Possibly some quick pictures of that will be up later :3

Thank you for dropping by!~
