Winds of relocation and continuation

What a major failure from my part.
This blog has not seen any new updates since April.
My apologies but I finally have all my news at once.
As you probably know sometimes "life" comes on the way.
An intensive study year has been completed successfully and now is the time to taste new winds.

First I should start by thanking my dear friend (check her blog!) for her efforts with Tsukifly brand and for acting as a representative for Tsukifly at IDOLL. Thus a trip to Asia was made possible and Tsukifly dresses and headbands were on display. What a lovely table and lovely models for Tsukifly!

Secondly, I have had rather a limited access to any materials such as fabrics, sewing machine etc. and this has made it difficult to make any new designs into reality despite my previous plans. Those designs are in my book and still on the list to be realized when the time and place so permits.

Tsukifly Airy flower dream -dress set(Yo-SD) 

Additionally I wish to introduce the newest Tsukifly dress set. This is to conclude the relative silence in the field of new Tsukifly dresses / accessories.

Tsukifly Airy flower dream - dress set
(incl. the dress and the headdress)

Flower patterned fabrics in light colors accompanied with lace details. Fastening of the dress with ribbon to tie at the back along with snap fasteners. Smocked skirt part to resemble a bell shape. Made to fit various Yo-SD sized dolls. The dress comes with a matching flower headband. Please inquire if interested. 

Finally, as the new year has arrived I wish to outline few plans regarding Tsukifly that are to take place during the coming year of 2016.

• Relocation of Tsukifly blog to mark the change and reform.This is scheduled to take place during January and therefore any new updates will be written at the new location. The blog will cease to be updated in this Blogspot location and will relocate to its Wordpress address.
• After relocation has been successful performed a monthly update with at least one new creation will be made each month (an ambitious promise I acknowledge that..).
• Etsy Shop for Tsukifly has been opened. Find Tsukifly at Etsy.

I hope those who have been following the blog so far would kindly make their reappearance in the new blog after the relocation has taken place. Thank you for your support.

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.

Idaheika's Ceylon with one of my
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.  

First MNF dress with blue toned headdress

A new year and activity increase?

I feel rather worse for having neglected this blog for so long.
While studying in another country I haven't got even a single needle in my possession at the moment. Let alone anything with which I could do anything productive...

While I did make several sketches of possible new designs - mainly in MNF and DD sizes I didn't have time to touch my sewing machine during the holidays. You know how it is. Be away for a long time and go back to visit and you just need to visit everybody within that short period of time since who knows when the next possibility will present itself?

Tenrai - Doll-chateau Russell

Anyways, at least I got Tenrai during the holidays. He had been patiently waiting in his box since September. Originally I think I ordered him in April - long wait but I am happy with my little fantasy foxie. He is so nicely sculpted. In need of new eyes but no immediate hurry. I have also sketched a plan for him - kind of jacket thing once I have the possibility.

Additionally Rein, my lovely DD model is more or less ready to step up on stage. Sodadress is absolutely gorgeous and that deer headdress is more than cute.

Button themed dresses are on my planning list. MNF size will be tested once my little MNF model arrives. Possibly during Easter I will have some extra time to get into working again.

Additionally it may be that Tsukifly products will end up all the way to Taiwan this year? Who knows...

So there, nothing much of an update but at least few nice pictures of my new models and some hints of the coming plans. I try to provide more information sometime in the future.

I am planning to post some old pictures of some very first Tsukifly products. Once I come across them.. Oh the nostalgia (?)

Hope to see you around ~

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.

Tsukifly 'Sarinna' Pullip Custom
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.  

White lace chokers - different designs
SD/Supergem size

Tiny/Yo-SD babydoll tulle dress

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.

Pair of new dresses

I have had huge stress over school lately.
Haven't had much time to think anything else.

New dresses - MSD and Tiny sizes for Dolliverse
Baby Pink Skin Soom Sammi will be
available for adoption at Dolliverse as well.

Now I seem to get more time for myself when most of the pressing matters have been done away.
Preparation for Dolliverse among other things.
I have been active in DoA posting a lot of stuff for sale which will be coming along to Dolliverse as well.

Here you can see a glimpse of two new dresses, out of japanese white/light blue dragonfly fabric, which will be at Dolliverse. One is Tiny sized baby doll -styled dress, another in MSD size with slight differences. This MSD dress is made to fit an MSD with more bust so I am trying to answer the demand here.

I was afraid I wouldn't have time to complete many Pullip sized dresses, but it appears I might have made some progress so there will be some available. Mostly layer dresses with different fabric designs :)

My Aileendoll Camellia arrived this week.
I was going to sell this wig but it looks rather cute on her...
Oh Mina! She has her own mind, different from my plans...

So what will be available at my table at Dolliverse?
Dolls - Soom Beauty, Soom Sammi, Luts Juri '05 head, Luts Kid delf Event head and Fairyland MNF Juri 2013 head up for adoption
Clothing - Pullip, Tiny, MSD, SD, Supergem - lots of different designs, some new things. Pullip dresses are all OOAK and won't be offered again.
Jewellery - different designs
Accessories - Props and other stuff for your dolls to use in various photoshoots
A Pullip custom - complete with face-up, Leeke wig, Tsukifly dress-set
Second-hand doll stuff - outfits (Volks, Dollheart etc.), wigs, eyes - all in various sizes

Yush, something listed to give you a hint. So do not miss Dolliverse on 29th June, 2014!

I hope to update at least once before the event, maybe pictures of the Pullip dresses / custom?

Sneak peak - Pullip custom and little lace dress

This new update comes rather fast.

I got a little boost of inspiration and to my happiness these turned out pretty nicely.

First about the Pullip custom currently under preparation.

I had no idea what kind of face I would like for her, but something came up.

This is how we started off. Clean table? 

This face-up was done using pastels and watercolor pencils. 

 For coating naturally MSC. I will add gloss around her eyes and lips once I get a chance (currently waiting for a new bottle to be tested..)

Pullip custom - face and eyes
No name yet, but she will be kind of candy victorian girl.
Whatever that description might disclose. 

This was my first time to assemble Pullip eye mechanism and I was a bit horrified by it. But once it was there, everything in their rightful places (I do not tell in detail how I have my issues with attaching eyelashes... Every single time...) I am rather pleased by how she looks. The eyes even. Turned out as I hoped they would. The other, as said, is a bit "blind" so it is more hazy looking than the other. Eye patch is under preparation.. Also the dress has been started to a certain degree.

Tsukifly clothing then. New baby pink lace dress for Tiny/Yo-SD was completed today. Will be posted for sale later. I rather like how it turned out. This dress will be commissionable as long as the lace lasts. For now, only one is completed. For Dolliverse I plan to do few so they will be available there as well. I have also few other dress designs drawn - for tiny and MSD. I got MSD torso part that I can use to plan MSD sized clothing for those MSDs that have more mature bodies. My Tori has very childlike body - that is what Dollmore kid body is although otherwise I have no complaints whatsoever.    

Baby pink lace dress - Yo-SD/Tiny
Tied with ribbons at the back.

Yes, think that is a quick update and sneak peak on what is going on currently. I will keep you updated.

Lacey Dream dress set

 

Fast update to announce that I am finally starting to get inspired again.

I got very nice fabrics and lace during winter from my trips around the world (China and Finland mainly) and even ended up ordering some from Japan to where I haven't had a chance to go personally just yet.

 

Here is my newest little dress. Lacey Dream for SD/SD13/Supergem* girls.

Just a small introduction that the lower part composes of two layers of white tulle and on top we have a lovely light blue lace. The upper part is polkadot fabric with light blue ribbons, two different laces and beads. Snap fasteners at the back.

 

The fit seems to be better for smaller SD/SD13 bodies but will also go on new Soom Supergem body (picture), which is a bit slimmer than the older one. I hope this will be liked. Would make a nice dress for the table display as well.

Tsukifly Lacey Dream Dress set for SD/SD13/Supergem

Candy Pink and planning

What an unimaginative title. Sorry about that.

Lately I feel I haven't had time nor wishes to touch anything near the sewing machine.

Other things in my mind and creativity seems to come in circles.

Or rather, in periods.

 

Little something I have been doing.

I think I need to give deep considerations as to how I want to display my girls and clothes.

I haven't been quite happy with the quality of my photos or clothing lately.

  Now I have to learn to use my camera properly.

 

If you check back my previous entries there have been several girls working as my models.

I plan to update a list somewhere in the blog frame of my dolls. Easier for you to check their models and names.

 

Few photos here. This pink/white headband I actually made in November, but didn't have a camera to take any proper photos. Better late than never, right? I think it looks rather nice on Migma, with her violet skin.

Soom Migma with a Tsukifly headband w/pink and white flowers

 And talking about sewing. During christmas holidays I fininshed Candy pink skirt with Candy/pink pearl details. It suits SD/SD13 girls and also goes on Super Gem girls as I discovered when I tried it on Migma.
Nicely all pink pink when combined with Candy pink corset. Mix&Match works with Tsukifly clothing.
This new picture (along with some others) have been updated to the Store. I must thank my friend for taking them ~!

Mix&Match Tsukifly clothing - Candy skirt with Candy corset

That is all for now.

Some plans I have for sewing but will see when I get around those.

Thank you for reading.

Commissions

Days are dark, but so far snow has not stayed on the ground.
I hardly have any chances to take pictures so that there would be daylight around.
Thus, my apologies, the pictures are rather dark and bad quality at the moment.
I still feel its better to document with something than be completely without pictures.
Pictures give some life to my dull writings, don't you think?

My models at the moment. Hisa and a new cat hat design and a Soom Migma, nameless girl with lacy choker and headpiece.

Commission: A full white satin dress similar to Soft Peony design.

I have been busy with few commissions. Finished one bunny hat in MSD size, Then got a boost to try one new fabric I recently found (I can never have enough fabrics although I keep saying I won't buy anything more until I have used all I have... ). There, I got a new cat hat design you see on Hisa. Also made another with bunny ears, maybe the third and last (the fabric will only be enough for three SD sized ones..) will have yet another set of animal ears.. Which ones I should choose? Maybe mouse ears or something?

Polkodot skirts - light brown in Supergem size, dark brown in Narae/Unoa size

Completed one Narae/Unoa sized polkadot skirt. The biggest thing was that satin dress. It is lovely though, now I see it completed. All shiny and long. Should perhaps do few more longer dress designs for sale as well.Along with the satin dress I completed one black corset top and black Supergem underwear set. I might be able to get some pictures of them later on. No light to do that now.

Next on the table I have Hisa who would need at least something new to wear for Christmas. Thought I would give it a try out of some nice polkadot fabrics. Accepted a commission of MSD dress set as well. So two projects going on even now. Few weeks till Christmas! I was thinking to do a kind of event but in the middle of everything I don't think I have sufficient time to complete that plan, not for Christmas. But! I didn't say I would give up on the idea. Will keep those plans firmly in my mind~
Now to finish some seams and to start off something new.

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.

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!

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
Please see my friend's Flickr: Iituheika's Flickr photostream

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.



Noble Dolls Valentine Raspberry (Dark Tan) up for adoption.
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,

Short update

It seems I haven't been able to keep my promise.
While I am still hoovering around without my dear camera I have no means to take proper photos of what I am currently working on. No proper models around either. I feel I cannot "torture" boys to wear girl stuff.

I can tell you though. Or try at least.
First, I am very grateful to my dear friend who has been my support.
Also providing me a proper access to her sewing machine <3

Currently working on a layered tiny dress out of one pinkish macaron fabric. Recently finished one dress (later offered for sale), a bit different style, lovely creamy color, SD-sized. Also made an attempt to make a pair of bloomers for a tiny. Came out pretty well if I may say, have to picture them later as well. I have also drawn some patterns to try out MSD sized dresses once I get Tori (my DM Torrie) around to model for me.

So, pictures maybe there next week as I am going to get my camera this weekend.
Please be patient and keep checking back :3

Updates coming soon

It is apparent that I have been rather quiet recently.
I have had a lot going on in my life and thus haven't had much time for sewing.

Hisa is away getting a new face-up and I am missing her terribly.
During the spring she was my primary model for SD dresses and although I now have a possibility to use my other SD girls (Vanamo - Volks Kurumi and Aya - CP DES) as models it is hard to change my preferred model.
Hisa's body got hot-glue sueded of which I am very glad. She is able to pose better.

No pictures for this post as I had to leave my camera behind as well.
Next month is sure to be more productive. Both pictures and clothing.

During my short summer break (3 weeks only and constantly travelling) I was able to use few days to sew one dress out of the lovely Etsy fabrics I got earlier. Pretty much the same style as my previous ones, with some nice details. Vanamo was the model for that one, therefore it will fit to SD girls with larger bust. Next post will probably bring around few pictures.

I am also happy to announce that MSD sized clothing will be available next month.
I have few plans for MSD sized full dresses from some fabrics I found from my closet.
Those will most likely have layer designs, those were previously well received and I wish to do more.

I have been requested to try out some bloomers.
Made a few attempts in tiny size. If those come out okay later they may also become available.
So far the pattern has made progress, but not quite enough for me to be satisfied.

Thank you for reading,

Commission and White Rabbit outfit

Lately I have been rather quiet. It has to do with summer holiday and the fact that I have been unable to gain access to internet for most of the time. Now that period is more or less over. This means I will be able to update more often.

 

Here is what has happened. After Dolliverse I got commissioned to make an MSD sized version of the bunny outfit I had made in tiny and SD size. Additional arm cuffs were requested as well. One picture of how it turned out. I had no MSD model available so the dress was made accoding to the size chart. A bit more difficult since I prefer to see it on a doll while making my dresses. Different methods need to be applied sometimes. 

Tsukifly MSD commission dress for meymeez.
For more pictures please check her Flickr:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/58332578@N03/9309811770/lightbox/

From what I remember I already hinted I was working on Alice in Wonderland themed dresses as my next "bigger" project. First one of those is White Rabbit, now posted for sale as well. The dress comes with upper corset top, choker, arm cuffs, bunny ear headdress and a puffy skirt. Size is Super gem or similar sized dolls. Luella acting as a model for these few pictures.

First Alice themed dress: White Rabbit

Dress and all its parts

I have also used some nice macaron/Paris themed fabrics for few new SD dresses, knee lenght. I hope to get pictures of them at some point when I finish smaller details. Inspired to use the fabrics. Now I have my MSD model around as well. It is likely that  moreMSD sized dresses will soon be available.

Tsukifly Mix&Match and headpieces

I have been inspired lately.
Unfortunately I have currently no access to any sewing machine so everything must be done by hand.
This takes time and effort, however, I consider the pieces made by hand as good in quality as those done by sewing machine. Very old fashioned ways, but that was how it was done before sewing machines.

Some of the new designs have been added to the store.
Recently my good friend featured Tsukifly's Storenvy shop in her blog. Thank you!
Please take a look, also for cute giveaways.
Her blog is named Caketown ~

She was also the one to introduce me Storenvy. I have been greatly inspired by the whole thing although I am still a bit unsure how the whole thing will start to work in the long run. Something that I have to see during longer period of time.

I was asked to do some Mix&Match with Tsukifly clothing. As I now consider I have enough stock around to try them on I also discovered that the skirts made in SD/SD13 size do fit nicely also on Supergem girls. Luella (Soom MD Cuprit) is wearing all possibly by me. The flower headpiece was done today, the choker has been listed for sale and the skirt and top will be there at some point. It is challenging for me to get whole pictures to function. I prefer close-ups. But my point here was that all the pieces can be worn together and are thus quite functional in my opinion.

Headpieces - Today's project

Well, not all were done today, as the first picture shows previously made pin with a beaded dragonfly and flower details. I just needed to get proper pictures of it. Had not done that yet. Luella is also wearing the black choker for the pictures so I got that one pictured as well. Happy about that.

 Okay, these two headpieces were the ones I made today. I wanted something with a summer touch to it. Lace was used for the band itself with nice (and big!) flower details. I also love things that hang and therefore both of the pieces have something hanging from them. The other more than the other :) The pink one has a small pink ribbon and plain gold ring details, not really visible in the picture though (sorry!). The blue one had Alice in Wonderland white rabbit, chair and playing card attached on the other side while the other side has a spoon and a clock details. More of a theme headpiece.

I don't know about you, but I am complete fan of these headpieces.

It is likely that I will do some other colors and designs similar to these.

I also welcome commissions if there are any specific color combinations/designs you would like to see.

Always open to try out everything new.
