Major flower headband update

Long time no see!
I have been busy with all sorts of stuff, but that is of no relevance for this post. Possible only to justify my irregular / rare recent updates. Apologies about that.

A little holiday and those many materials I got for headbands made it possible to get on the business. Finally if I may say. Sketches have occupied my table, but nothing concrete was created until just very recently. Better later than never, right?

Idaheika's Ceylon modelling roseband with feathers

I was reminded about the fact that IDOLL is approaching. Tsukifly stock - headbands, jewellery and clothing will travel there for sale. I am eager to see how Tsukifly brand will be received there. Event prices may be attached on some products. Prices will be considered closer to the event in more detail as to minimize the effects of possible currency fluctuations.

First I will note that stock of around 25 OOAK Tsukifly headbands will be there. Some examples may be seen from these pictures. Mostly SD/Pullip/SG sized, but as they can be gently adjusted any design will fit smaller dolls as well. Whether SD design is plenteous on an MSD/Tiny is another matter though. Depends what one is looking for.

personal favourites

Rose cupcakes - may be tied on doll's head,
waist or even owner's wrist! 

To my eyes these newer headband designs include plenty of foam roses together with different paper flower, feather, ribbon and/or lace details.

Sets of wreaths - two smaller, two bigger

Curious design in MSD/Tiny size

This time I wanted to make few in several different styles so that there would be larger selection of choice. At least for those who get to see the whole stock. These newer ones are exclusive for IDOLL. Only after the doll fair any remaining ones may be offered for sale.

Few simpler designs

Some prototypes will be there too. Like Rose cupcakes, two of them, which came out with rather varied list of possible usages. Alongside of rich rose/flower filled headbands are some simpler flower band designs as well as few wreaths - four in total.

Longer, but not too heavy in detail. 

What comes to Tsukifly clothing stock it seems all those that are still around will be send off. Next weekend will show whether I am able to finish any new pieces in time to be included in the sales stock. Sketches for few supergem sized dresses are around, one for DDS size.

I hope this picture filled post is able to give you some idea of what will be available in IDOLL as well as what has been happening in "planning / preparation line" of Tsukifly despite been somewhat quiet lately.. Please keep checking back. I am going to update some pictures of what will be send in total.

Doll crew got a new member as well. She arrived in March, but while she did not have anything in right size to wear I was unable to take any proper pictures. Here is Ella (FL MNF Mio) and thus we finally have a MNF size model in around. Therefore we proudly present the first MNF sized Tsukifly dress - prototype so it is without tags and with minor errors. This may give you some idea what is coming. Currently I like to experiment Babydoll / Empire waist styled dresses. Something with buttons has been in my sketch book for a longer while Hope to see something done at some point as well. Plans are there.

Plans, Dolliverse and Headbands

I am slowly starting to recover from my lack of inspiration period.
Not fully there yet, but Spring and all this sunlight is also helping me.
At least headbands are inspiring me.
Just finished two new ones and managed to put them up at the Store.
Previously I forgot to add some of the stuff, but sure enough I will add everything now.

Maybe they will end up on my Dolliverse table this year?

MIO kit has a lovely box.

 I made the decision to go to Dolliverse this year as well.
Planning the table should start at some point, but I feel it is a bit early for that at the moment.

I previously made cute bird houses, which might be up at the table. Huge fan of origami cranes as well. Maybe there would be something to consider? Definedly something cute and pink. I have been encouraged to make a Pullip custom as well. I have been a bit hesitant about that, but finally managed to buy a MIO Pullip kit. So, that is my next bigger Project. To complete this Pullip custom. For the time being my deadline has been set to be Dolliverse (she would be up for sale there) but might complete her sooner if I can. Eye mechanism keeps scaring me...

As I said above, I have been inspired to try some headbands (at least!). So I was able to use some of the new ribbons and foam flowers I acquired. Those have been sitting on my table for quite a while now. Sadly. But now it is over. For some of the flowers and ribbons. I think I will do few more. I want to try out those lime flowers I found as well as some minty ribbon - do you think they would work together?

Nene was my model for both of the new headbands.
However, they fit well on SD and MSD heads as well.

Here are some pictures of the two new designs. I especially like how the feathers look like on the second headband. Both of these have been posted up at the Store as well.

Two new headband designs.
One with feathers as I felt like trying them out.
I hope you like them!

I think that is all for now. I will be back with more designs and updates regarding the Pullip custom as well as other things. I received Luts Event heads as well, considering whether to do a face-up on them or sell them blank. At the moment blank is my reference as all my face-up stuff is in Finland. The difficulties when you live in another country. The distance is not so easily covered.

Thank you for reading!
