Tiny tiny yukata time

I was travelling during the weekend.

Therefore was not able to complete much, but at least I got something done.

One evening I got a boost to test those new japanese fabrics I previously mentioned. What would be a better way to try them out than to make something useful? Nene was indirectly in need of a Kimono/Yukata so that she would have something for the teaparty shoot I have been planning to do at some point. So, the idea developed into this: 

Yukata and Yo-SD/Tiny headpiece photographed together

The lovely picture here is taken by my friend Idaheika. I cannot take many of my own at the moment since I go home too late for there to be any daylight. But! Isn't it lovely how well the yukata goes with the flowery headpiece? New headpieces will be posted for sale at later stage when I get proper pictures of them. They are more simpler in design than those I made out of roses before. So, something new again.

Currently I am working on one commission - An MSD Bunny hat. Other possible commissions include a long satin dress, bra set for supergem and a corset top all in black. As I usually use bright and flowery fabrics (that is what these japanese fabrics are..) it feels different to use dark colors for a change. Previously I used to make a lot of dark clothing for Aya [CP DES], but currently as said, I have moved to these bright flowery fabrics. So, will see how those pieces will turn out. I promise more pictures once these new pieces have been completed. Also, I have been lazy with that SD macarons skirt. Having some issues with Hisa's style although that shouldn't prevent me from finishing that one...

Yo-SD/Tiny clothing

I believe I promised pictures of the clothing stuffs as well.
Although I had different sized stuff on my list it seems my pictures include only tiny clothing I made.
It seems I have a period to do something for smaller sizes, so I don't think there will be much SD stuff coming in near future. Probably also because I only have my MSD and Tiny around at the moment.

In these pictures you see Nene, Soom Sammi who recently arrived. I was in need of a tiny model and Soom Ai just didn't seem to work for me. Now I have Nene to try out. I have a special head for her as well, but I haven't gotten around doing the face-up for it just yet. It has been raining a lot. Maybe within two weeks time I might be able to do that..


Knee-lengt Yo-SD/Tiny sized dress

 I have no idea what kind of style I would like for her, but she looks nice with this new dress. Button details in front and corset style details with ribbons at the back along with lace. Nice one ~


The same knee-length tiny dress has interesting details at the back..
With ribbon you can adjust it better ~

The color of the fabric suits her pink skin. I believe I have posted this for sale already so please take a look.

I was suppose to proceed and try some patterns I have, but I didn't get there yet. Instead I ended up drawing a new pattern for a simple Yo-SD/Tiny sized yukata. I received some lovely kimono fabrics as well as lots of polkadot fabrics to try out some plans. Now I think I do have enough fabrics to work on for a while. No fabric orders coming to my way. Well, maybe laces and buttons(!), but still.

Other thing I finished already a while ago. A waist high skirt in tiny size. Previously I mentioned something about doing Mix & Match stuff and this was one of those. I also have one simpler one in SD size once I get it fully finished.

Yo-SD/Tiny Mix & Match Macarons fabric skirt

I have various plans to buy wigs and eyes. I want to use them in the pictures as my girls hardly have any extra ones. Its also nice to change the style from time to time. So maybe later there will be pictures with more effort for display purposes. I would love to develop my skills with photographing dolls. I try to take more innovative shots rather than only head/close-ups. Might consider that as one good promise for next year. As for now I am afraid of those many Winter Events coming around... Already have few I need to consider... But enough of that.

As my last thing here I wish to mention that also bunny hats have gained some recognition :3
Received few commissions regarding them and will start working next week.

Scrapbooking and jewellery

Weekend came and went. All too fast.
As promised I was able to complete a lot during the weekend time while having 'leisure time' for myself'.
I like scrapbooking so I wanted to test whether this kind of book would come out nicely.
It did, in my opinion at least. A bit bigger for Tiny and probably just a right size for an SD sized doll.

Scrapbooking - A tiny book - just a right size for dolls ~!

 I plan to make few more for sale in the future as well. Along with the one pictured here.

I use a lot scrapbooking papers to make all kind of stuff. Also finished few boxes of which I didn't take any pictures. Good for storing little things.



Sometimes magazines are a good place to get inspiration from ~

Tiny-sized butterfly handcuffs

New jewellery designs - SD/MSD/Tiny

Usually I do not buy many magazines or anything. However, there are few publications I like. One of them is Daphne's Diary which has nice little things - DIY stuff and interesting articles from antique markets, places etc. Too bad we don't have something similar in Finland. So, while I have  the chance I enjoy reading this one.

More than  sewing I have had energy to do some smaller things like jewellery and arm cuffs. First batch of jewellery was well received so I wanted to make some more out of the little stuff I had around. New designs can be seen from the picture below. What is also nice is that they are suitable for variety of dolls without looking into their size. Necklace is just longer for smaller dolls :3

In some of my previous entries I mentioned I had done few tiny sized head pieces. Here is one picture of them. I was suppose to take pictures of them on a doll's head as well, but unfortunately I forgot.. Next time..

SD-sized handcuffs were also well received so I wanted to try something similar in tiny size. As I love butterflies and Fireflies it was natural to try something like this. Butterfly themed handcuffs ~ Quite like them myself.

I plan to put them up at the store at later stage, as well as the other things shown in this entry. They were made for sale after all.

Must say I am pretty satisfied when I look at how much things I was able  to finish. In this entry I did not include the clothing stuff which I managed to work on as well. I will save those pictures to be posted later this week.

It seems to be the time for Christmas parties. Not that I have received invitations, but the general mood is there. Dark evening make me feel tired though. There is not much light to take photos either. I only have weekends when I am able to enjoy the whole day.
Such are the winters.

Eagerly waiting for snow to come. Still no sign of that in the way that it would stay on the ground. Too warm still. But I know there will be a time for that. If not sooner I will see it once I go up North. In the Netherlands snow is just a one week phenomenon which messes up everything whereas in Finland its suppose to be nearly half a year occurrence. Quite a difference there.

I hope I was able to provide some pictures of the new things and that they will be well received as well.

 

Please keep checking back for more updates.

Clothing entry is soon to follow although I may already post the items for sale :3

Also, if there is something you are interested in, but its in a wrong size/color please feel free to ask whether its possible to make the kind you would wish for. I do accept commissions occassionally when the time permits.

Fabric news

Just when I made a decision not to buy any new fabrics..
Apparently as soon as you decide not to do something the temptation increases considerably.
So, I ended up ordering some fabrics from Japan just to have a proper stock from which to do stuffs.
Now I cannot really justify any more. Have to start using all the lovely stuff I have gathered.

Some of the new fabrics that are coming...

I cannot quite believe its November already.
Christmas is coming soon. I have been wishing to buy some Christmas theme laces and ribbons, but their usage time is so short in comparison. Although I don't mean to say that Christmas themed clothing shouldn't be used on other times as well, especially when they are lovely.

My point is that I think I will try to keep away from totally Christmas themed clothing (keep such things on commission base only.. So you may ask if interested of course :3) and instead offer new stuffs for Mix & Match.

About my models (my own dolls). MNF Siean Elf face-up is completed and now she would need a body. Then I will have a model for MNF/Unoa sized clothing and hopefully will be able to offer such things at the beginning of next year.

I also feel I have been able to find a tiny that seems to work for me. Soom Sammi she is. Named Nene just recently. Probably will post few pictures of her modelling the tiny skirt + an underskirt I plan to make. Baby pink skin color is interestingly different, which is why I think she might stick around at least longer than other tinies. I admit I do have a difficulty with tiny sized dolls. Small as they are.. and I prefer more mature girls.. So lets keep fingers crossed for Nene.

For the coming weekend I have plans to complete / make this and that so I hope I have some pictures to share after those few days of intensive sewing. So please keep checking back.

HINT: There might also be a small giveaway of some of the old clothing stock I have around but as I have not done giveaways before this still needs some planning. There is no guarantee such will happen in time for Christmas but that will be seen. Other possible option is a random clothing gift for all those who buy during December...

Oh the plans! And I have to get some nice paper...

Tsukifly headpieces

I have been planning to write this for a while now.
Past week was productive as I got a real boost to make some new headpieces.
The previous ones were well received so I wanted to make some more.

These pictured here are all SD/SG sized ones, but there are few coming in tiny size when I get proper pictures of them.

Two headpieces with lace bands.

 

For some reason I like to have a bit ornate feeling in my headpieces, thus I wish to add a lot of flowers.

These are rather detailed in that sense. More small flowers to give details, even some glitter.

Finally I just need to show off my lovely model. She is Soom Sweet Witch in Grey skin tone. Sheri is her name. Currently I am travelling between two places while she needs to stay in one place. I miss her already, but at least I got few pictures to look at while being away. Her dreamy look is so lovely.

Sheri and a glimpse of one of the headpieces.

Currently working on:

- A candy pullip dress commission

- Tiny headpieces (x2)

- SD skirt (Macarons fabric)

- Jewellery pieces

 

The things mentioned on the list above are hopefully around sometime soon depending how I have time to complete them.

Keep checking back!
