Greetings from Dolliverse 2014

This year's Dolliverse is now over. 

An amazing experience. I had wonderful time and moreover a wonderful driver who took very good care of me. I don't think the experience would have been as wonderful without him!

There was a lot to see around our tables. This year my dear friend was unable to attend herself so I was the sole person minding the two tables. It was an experience. And a busy one! 

Tsukifly & Hime*Hime table - seems to have a lot of things..

A big thank you for everybody who bought my creations. 

I am very happy that many of you remembered me from last year. I was very happy to see my creations on your dolls as well! For this year I even had some cards to hand over. Nothing much, but the blog address was there at least. Furthermore it was wonderful to hear your comments! Not only regarding my products but about the table set up and everything as well~! 

Comments give me renewed confidence for the future. They also give me hints what you would like to see next time. I was asked several times whether I will be there again next year. Well, I will try of course, but since I have some major changes coming (graduation!) circumstances may change. Please keep checking back - I am sure to write about my plans later on.

This cute girl visited my table.
Along she had two smallest BJDs I have ever seen.

Last year there were more Pullip people around. This year MSD size would have been most preferred so for the next time I must stock up on that one. MSD seems to be a bit tricky for me, my MSD model being elsewhere for the most of the time. 

  

If there is any size you would like to see available please feel free to let me know, I will see what I  can do :)

Overall I got the feeling that Dolliverse was more international as many dollmakers were present as well. The only thing I regret is not to have time to check all of them more closely! Otherwise I am very happy how it all went.

I was especially glad to briefly see DD-Anne and her lovely dolls. I have been checking her Flickr regularly for updates regarding Alice in Underland Chapter 5. She is making a queen ~ The size of the queen is intriquing. Additionally, now that I have seen the queen in person I think the sculpting is even more detailed than I imagined.

A saw her new Queen which seems lovely.
The size especially appeals to me..

Now I am looking to sort out the remaining Tsukifly items, take some new pictures, update the store and such.

Love the tan skin! 

What is coming next? I may give a small hint that as a Dollfie Dream fan I have been wishing to bring one home with a new Volks DDS body. If I succeed in getting her then I presume there will be DD sized clothing coming available sometime in near future. Nothing much different to SD size, only their waist is more narrow. I might have few more adventurous dress set designs in mind...

What I would like to try is to make something for Cerisedolls. I like their body shape. Another such would be Leekeworld A or B bodies, the newest ones. I really liked Leekeworld's new fairy ~

I believe this suffice as a little account about this year's Dolliverse. I am looking forward to next year as I would love to come. Would prefer a more central location though, if the travel is going to be a long one, it may be difficult to reach. I will look into it. Thank you for your support and interest towards Tsukifly!~
Please keep checking back here as well. Next entry is likely to be somewhat different. Will be about DDS body and if I feel confident I might provide a tutorial on how to assemble one ~

Decorative flower headpieces

If you have checked Tsukifly's Store regularly you might have noticed that I have added few new designs after the headpieces I introduced in the previous post. After that post the blue one pictured at the bottom found a new home. I am happy and its currently waiting to be shipped.

So, encouraged by some of the comments I got concerning the previous headpieces I wanted to try a bit more decorative ones with more details. This naturally meant more flowers. Also tried out some new color combinations.

Only white flowers. I must say I like the bridal look of this one.

This one is my favourite out of the four new ones. Used colors are blue, white and gray.
Seems to go well with Luella.

This one is the most extensive, the Store has a better picture of the details.
Used colors are pink, white, gray and blue.

One with less details and big flowers to balance out my day :3

Almost all of the new headpieces have been listed for sale as well. I will also post the last one with less details later on. Currently I am working on a complete dress set for Supergem girls. Unfortunately that is the only size I have a model for at the moment. All my girls are elsewhere except for Luella and I am eagerly waiting to get back to them once my summer holiday begins at the end of next week. During my holiday I have bunch of plans and I wish to take more creative photos. Inside photos aren't really what I like to take, but in the absence of an alternative... Well, have to take those for a while. Anyway, the dress set will be OOAK white rabbit 'girl' version. Just to reveal something about it.

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.

Beaded dragonfly headpiece - Black choker

 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.

New headpieces pictured together.

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.

Tsukifly has a store~!

I must say I did not plan to set up a store so quickly.
However, I concluded it would be easier to keep track of what I have in stock and what I would like to make next. Some variety in products will be achieved through this, I hope.

The Store can be found from: http://tsukifly.storenvy.com/
I will try to keep it as updated as possible. Most of the stock I have available ready  to be shipped are now there. The blog as well as the story are still to be made more user friendly. I will be doing the work when I have time. Please enjoy~

New products include underwears!~
I heard they might be wanted so I wanted to try and make some.
This is a set offered at the shop, includes both top and panties pictured. Size is SD, but I plan to try some in MSD as well. Later also MNF size if I am able to get my hands on a model.

Navy blue SD underwear set

 I am very pleased how Supergem bra turned out. The color is not exactly what my girl would wear but then again they were made out of curiosity. Personally I love how the details came out.

Fitted pink bra for Supergems

I also had some cute leftover stuff to make some necklaces. I still have plans for several others but they have to wait a little until I have more time to think about them.

Also a cute Lollipop/ribbon necklace. Have to have some accessories as well.

Overall a lot of work for one day. I think I have earned my break. Please keep checking back.
