Oriental style

This weekend was productive.
I got lots of new ideas and I was also able to finish some of the products I have been working on for a longer time (longer time because I haven't had time to finish them..).

List of currently on-going/nearly finished products:
*Knee-length SD skirt (pinkish macarons fabric)
*Yo-SD/Tiny tulle dress (black/pink/orange/red)
*Commission pullip dres (candy themed)

Model: Iituheika's Ama [Soom Migma (LV)]

I am especially proud of this one dress I finally finished during the weekend.

The Oriental styled dress is made to fit Soom Supergem sized girls. Ribbon to tie it around the neck + snap fasteners at the back. A lovely flower/bead details in front and a long furry skirt which I personally love. The dress will come with a headpiece shown in the photos. The headpiece has flower/bead details to with matching colors with the upper part of the dress.
I hope the dress will be well received.

I am having lots of fun with my new dress designs etc. but my own dolls would need time and some consideration as well as style changes. I recently made a Licht wig order to get some new styles for my girls.

Also eargerly waiting for snow to come. Probably won't happen for a while but maybe next month? This week I have heard news of huge storm..

First snow and feeling of frost

Its been a while again. My apologies for that.
I haven't been able to take many pictures due to some difficulties with my camera.
Considering to update it to something smaller and more convinient although my Canon 400D has served me well.

Last week I was granted a small autumn holiday. While I was greatful for that I decided to work on some new Tsukifly designs. One long Supergem dress is waiting to be finished (I must say its a bit different from my previous designs). There is also one Yo-sd dress. Two MNF/Unoa sized corset tops were also almost finished. One SD sized knee-length skirt is around as well. Most of these pieces need snap fasteners and some small finishing details.

Tsukifly set suggestion:
One of the last bigger headpieces (there were three bigger ones and one with smaller flowers) is still around so I decided to try it out with one of the new dresses. The Paris themed dress, not properly pictures in my previous blogpost was selected.

My dear friend took a lovely picture of the dress on one of her dolls. The two parts of the set are both for sale.
The dress is pictures here with a longer petticoat which is unfortunately not included with the dress.
However, it is shown here how an underskirt can create a nice extra lift for the whole dress.
Both the dress and the headdress can be found from Tsukifly store~


Model: Ceylon

One commissioned pullip dress is around my table now. It is going to be a candy themed thing. Just to reveal something about it until its ready to be shared. I have some issues how to create frosting so we will see if that works out...

Oh, you are probably wondering about the title of this entry. During my autumn holiday in Northern Finland we got first snow, frost and minus degrees. I didn't spend much time outside, but still, the air is quite nice when its cold. Somehow fresh but different than what you get after rain. Hard to explain really..

My doll crew is also experiencing some 'cleansing' so to say.
I have the feeling I have too many around so I am selling some of my lovely ones on DoA. They are not getting enough attention or I am just not bonding with them the way I hoped.

Almost all the newest ones are going to have to go. These include DD-Anne March Hare, Soom Sweet Witch OE head, Soom Ai (see previous blogpost), and Noble Dolls Valentine Raspberry in Dark tan. As said I feel I need to consider a little what I want from my dolls.

I have a story around my dolls. Unless they become a solid part of it they are in danger to be up for adoption (sometimes even quite fast). Currently I am looking for a MNF model though. I was hoping Raspberry would have worked for that but nope. She is too special for my taste if I may say so. I am hoping all the above mentioned dollies find their new loving homes soon.

You can see a glimpse of the other corset top here as well.

Please keep checking back for new updates once I have finished those I am currently working on.

Lovely autumn and Tiny/MSD/SD stuff

I should learn to be quiet about estimations regarding schedule as I do not seem to be able to keep them.
But! Now I do have more news to write about. That, I hope, will compensate a little.

First I must comment the lovely autumn here in Finland.
All the colors! Its getting darker and colder though. A minor minus side to all the glory.

Something autumn inspired for sale

I have been waiting for a nice weather to go out and take photographs.
So far no luck, I have been sitting at work during those days I have seen such a weather. There should still be some time before the colors fade for the winter.

I found some autumn colored flowery stuffs from which I have made some headpieces previously. These were more varied and nicely colored.
Made a wreath out of them as seen in the pictures.
It is first one in Yo-SD/MSD size. Possibly there will be more to come.
At least in this size if not with autumn theme. 

Yo-SD skirt - Pink macarons!

Previously I think I mentioned I had some pieces done or half done. This little Yo-SD skirt made from pinkish macarons fabric was one of those. I am still working on to make a piece under it so that I could properly take pictures of it. It is a skirt up to waist area, with a huge bow tie at the back.


My cute little helper - Soom Ai

 For a while I was without a proper Yo-SD model. Then I discovered this little Soom Ai looking for a new home and decided to try her out. I am a bit difficult with small sized dolls, they don't seem to work for me as good as SDs do. So far this little one has captured me with her innocent look.

I made her a face-up and now she is intently taking part to my sewing processes. More pictures of her can be found from my Flickr. Still undecided about the name.

I had problems with MSD size as well as I didn't have proper model for that sized clothing either. Now I have my Tori [Dollmore Cherry Dream Torrie] around again. Here is one MSD sized tutu dress going for sale. Light colors are not perhaps entirely for Tori, but she can model them okay :3 


 

MSD sized tutu dress for sale (for flat chest MSDs)

Also one SD sized dress. Made from a lovely Paris / France themed fabic I previously found from Etsy. I am in the process of getting proper pictures of it on a doll. All my SD girls are now elsewhere so that has to wait a bit.


SD sized dress for sale.

At least now I can say that I have posted some pictures and that some progress has been made during the weeks I have remained silent. It seems don't have as much free time to dedicate to sewing nor inspiration (I have done some dolly face-ups to balance out with sewing though..) and without time and inspiration the process is quite impossible. I have gone through huge pile of dolly things that need to go for sale and cleaning in my dolly closet will take place at some point.

Thanks for checking back,
