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!

Glimpse of Nerida and her parts going for blushing ~

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!~

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.

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.

Pink candy dreams

13 days since the new year started.

I have been busy with lots of things, but occassionally been able to spare some time for handycrafts.
I try to keep a little distance to sewing as I did so much before Christmas.

What I have finished now:
*Knitted a scarf - light blue and silver coloured. Even though it is not Dolly sized I have been considering I might offer few things in Human size as well. I started knitting another one - light blue violet which is narrow version of the other one. Pictures later.

*Origami cranes ~

*Bunch of flower headbands, tiny/MSD/SD sized. I will post them to the shop later as well. Please see below for few designs. Flower wreath is something of an experiment.

*Finished a skirt in SD/SD13 size. Candy pink with satin and organza layers, few Candy details and glass beads. A bit heavier for a doll to wear but bunch of details to look at.

Candy Dream skirt - SD/SD13 size

Flower Wreath - pink, white and violet paper flowers and berriers

Nene modelling one of the blueberry headbands.
Two designs were made. Goes well with the Dollheart dress she is wearing.

I will be updating more pictures soon. Please check the store for new headbands and other clothing!~
Few tiny dresses are waiting to be finished. I am in desperate need of proper models and pictures of the clothing..
The snow finally came to Finland. Therefore more light is reflected during the day. Better for the pictures.
My apologies for the poor quality of the pictures before Christmas. Things should be better from now on ~

New year - new plans

Happy New Year for everybody!

I had a chance of testing my camera when the year changed. I rather like the pictures I got.

 

During my Christmas Holiday I had time to try something new. Rather pinkish theme, later something else.

First up few lace bras for SD girls. Two petticoats as well.

Pink Lace bra for SD girls.
Two different designs. 1 piece of each. Snap fasteners at the back.

 One of my dolls was suppose to have all pink outfit and thus all this pink theme. Lace bra, petticoats.. Yes.. But this wasn't the end of it. There is also satin/organza skirt dream with few candy details and such. It is not quite finished yet so no pictures yet. Should finish it next week..

Pink petticoats - satin waist piece, elastic band enables them to fit variety of SD sized dolls.

Majority of my time went into finishing two bigger commissions - that MSD set with a complete underwear set and changes to that white satin dress I previously posted. Completed Super Gem black underwear set and black corset top.



 

Just for my own track keeping - Other things I made:

Inspired by origami cranes I made a mobile out of them. Why origami, it might have something to do with the fact that  I got some lovely Kiki's Delivery Service themed origami papers. Also tried out how to make an origami lily, the paper was handmade.. a bit too thick for the lily to keep its shape properly.. Made a kind of storage pocket for a tablet for there was no right sized one in the store. Also tried ambiously to make a box for my camera.. that however, didn't turn out too well.. I am concerned it won't protect it very well.. I will try to take few pictures and post some evidence of these other things.

Maybe Tsukifly blog should turn into a handycraft blog and not just a dolly clothing blog? What do you think?

Thanks for reading and I will be back with more photos.
