Busy summer

I haven't been able to update much around here for a while.
My apologies about that.
Some of you may know I moved around last month and such things always require time and energy.
Moreover, I was working as well so no free time in the beginning.
Now while I have some free time to enjoy my dolls are elsewhere where I cannot enjoy them.
Maybe next week we see some change to that situation.

I haven't been able to update or sew new clothes for sale either.
Despite of this fact I have focused my time on something else. I have completed few new jewellery pieces.
There were others as well, but as I happened to forgot my camera charger elsewhere as well.. No fabulous pictures to share at the moment.

Additionally I have been painting a bit. I have previously taken occasional face-up commissions and decided to give it a try after a longer pause. My 'victim' was a lovely NS Supia Lina head. Brown colors, natural looking lips and eyebrow model to follow. I had her eyes and a brown wig to match the tones.

I was concerned that the face-up came out as too dark, but with her wig it looks very nice indeed. Hope to see pictures of her later once her owner adds eyelashes and finishes her look. I had very much fun painting her, but this isn't exactly easy cup of tea, all those small details take hours to finish. But I am happy about the practice I got. I hope to do more commissions at later stage as well.

Moreover, I have another project besides the finished face-up commission. Nerida (previously Soom FC NS Amber) made her return as an original Soom Amber w/ gorgeous Soom default face-up. Her eyes are elsewhere (will be blue) and her fantasyparts are currently waiting for a blush / some color on them.
I am still having debate over violet / brown or a combination of the two, but I should probably make my decision soon and get over it. I don't want her to wait for them too long!

I should do an update of Tsukifly clothing and everything. Maybe at the end of the week I might have some possibility to do something along the lines. My plan book is also full of new ideas if only I find time to try them out!

One plan involves laces bonnets. 

Have to test those patterns I drew before I am ready to show any pictures though.

Please keep checking back!~

Wrapping up

Few days until Dolliverse.
I must say I am excited and I do hope my products will be liked.
In addition I have tried to focus on this garden theme, having a lot of flower / butterfly / dragonfly related items. A small set up will be around the table as well. Currently working on it. Finishing touches.
Moreover, the Tsukifly Pullip custom has now been finished, named and boxed up. She will come with a full Tsukifly outfit, wig and face-up. I have also a box and a bag to give where she will be safe during travel.

Up for Adoption at Dolliverse

Two more Tsukifly Pullip dresses were finished.

Additionally I finished one more yo-sd/tiny babydoll tulle dress, modeled here by Mina. This year I have not only more dresses but also accessories. In my previous post those new headdresses were shown and here we have white lace chokers with additional details or without. Futhermore, there will be hairpieces, necklaces and such available as well.

My dear friend supplied me with a lovely suitcase for the table which I am going to use to display all the various second hand wigs we have available. I can assure you. There will be more than 20 different wigs available. In several sizes varying from tiny size to SD/Pullip sizes. And what else? A lot of second-hand doll clothing as well, shoes and such.

So, I hope to see you at Dolliverse on this coming Sunday! 

This year I even have small cards to hand out - not too many, but better than nothing right ~

Now I should have a test run on the set-up. Whether it works the way I hope it does.

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

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.

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,
