Pullip custom progress and doll planning

Somehow it seems the time is flying.
I have been trying to work on Tsukifly stuff but it seems to be rather slow  at the moment.
Regular life requires my attention at the moment.

Nevertheless, the pullip custom has progressed somewhat.
I have completed her eyes and the dress is half way through (slow progress since I am working on it completely by hand..). About the style. She will have a long dress in brown color, layers, lace and ribbons. Just to give you a little hint. She will be offered for sale as a fullset but to have a special twist she is likely to have short pink wig and kinda special eyes - the other being "blind" which is why she is to wear an eye patch over it (matches with the dress of course). Headdress is likely to accompany the dress although I was also considering whether I should make a Tsukifly flowerband for her. Would be more special than the headdress but we will see.

No that I am talking for once.. I might consider turning this blog towards more general dolly blog, thus also including my doll planning etc. But this might defeat its purpose so I am still considering whether to do this in a large scale. Now however, I must say something in relation to Volks Dollfie Dream Dolls. I started my BJD hobby with Volks DD Sirius. She was an amazing one, but in the end I felt she did not get the attention she deserved. Therefore I resolved to sell her. I didn't think I would regret but I must say I do, tiny little bit. There are qualities in Volks DDs that aren't there in "regular" BJDs made of resin. DDs, as they are made of vinyl are light and easy to carry although being the same size as SDs. Two other qualities are their ability to pose amazingly and moreover, hold those poses as well as their anime style faces. Of course, I am aware that the face is important and if you are more for realistic look then DDs are perhaps not your cup of tea. However, I found I also like them, along with my regular BJDs. As said I didn't think I would miss the one I sold, but I kinda do.

What is done cannot be undone, but I have a new promising target. I think she might prove to be much better suited for me than the one I had. This is Volks DD Saber. I just love her smiling face. Makes me smile as well. I have forbidden myself to try to bond with sad looking dolls, they don't seem to work for me. Saber would certainly be something else. Maybe I am able to get a DD Saber at some point (she seems hard and expensive one to obtain.. =-=)and then I could offer DD fitted clothing as well. The DD body is very slim from the middle compared to SDs. Otherwise they can wear same clothing. So yes, she will be on my wishlist. I am also doing some serious considerations with my current BJDs. Soom Beauty, Luts Delf Juri '05 and possibly one more Soom girl will most likely be up for adoption.

Volks Dollfie Dream Saber (FATE/Extra ver.)
There are also other versions of her but I would prefer extra with these lovely green eyes ~

As the days are full of sunlight and nice weather I wish I could shut myself in a forgotten garden along with my dolls and sewing thing. Only then I would be able to achieve an ideal position to start working for Dolliverse with full speed. The theme is garden and I have a small plan for a set-up as well.

I hope to have some new creations to share with you after I get these other things off my hands.

Thank you for reading!
