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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

Scrapbooking and jewellery

Weekend came and went. All too fast.
As promised I was able to complete a lot during the weekend time while having 'leisure time' for myself'.
I like scrapbooking so I wanted to test whether this kind of book would come out nicely.
It did, in my opinion at least. A bit bigger for Tiny and probably just a right size for an SD sized doll.

Scrapbooking - A tiny book - just a right size for dolls ~!

 I plan to make few more for sale in the future as well. Along with the one pictured here.

I use a lot scrapbooking papers to make all kind of stuff. Also finished few boxes of which I didn't take any pictures. Good for storing little things.



Sometimes magazines are a good place to get inspiration from ~

Tiny-sized butterfly handcuffs

New jewellery designs - SD/MSD/Tiny

Usually I do not buy many magazines or anything. However, there are few publications I like. One of them is Daphne's Diary which has nice little things - DIY stuff and interesting articles from antique markets, places etc. Too bad we don't have something similar in Finland. So, while I have  the chance I enjoy reading this one.

More than  sewing I have had energy to do some smaller things like jewellery and arm cuffs. First batch of jewellery was well received so I wanted to make some more out of the little stuff I had around. New designs can be seen from the picture below. What is also nice is that they are suitable for variety of dolls without looking into their size. Necklace is just longer for smaller dolls :3

In some of my previous entries I mentioned I had done few tiny sized head pieces. Here is one picture of them. I was suppose to take pictures of them on a doll's head as well, but unfortunately I forgot.. Next time..

SD-sized handcuffs were also well received so I wanted to try something similar in tiny size. As I love butterflies and Fireflies it was natural to try something like this. Butterfly themed handcuffs ~ Quite like them myself.

I plan to put them up at the store at later stage, as well as the other things shown in this entry. They were made for sale after all.

Must say I am pretty satisfied when I look at how much things I was able  to finish. In this entry I did not include the clothing stuff which I managed to work on as well. I will save those pictures to be posted later this week.

It seems to be the time for Christmas parties. Not that I have received invitations, but the general mood is there. Dark evening make me feel tired though. There is not much light to take photos either. I only have weekends when I am able to enjoy the whole day.
Such are the winters.

Eagerly waiting for snow to come. Still no sign of that in the way that it would stay on the ground. Too warm still. But I know there will be a time for that. If not sooner I will see it once I go up North. In the Netherlands snow is just a one week phenomenon which messes up everything whereas in Finland its suppose to be nearly half a year occurrence. Quite a difference there.

I hope I was able to provide some pictures of the new things and that they will be well received as well.

 

Please keep checking back for more updates.

Clothing entry is soon to follow although I may already post the items for sale :3

Also, if there is something you are interested in, but its in a wrong size/color please feel free to ask whether its possible to make the kind you would wish for. I do accept commissions occassionally when the time permits.

Yo-SD/Tiny sized headpieces. One with more details and one simpler design.



June has started

Yet another month has started.

It seems that summer is gradually here.

Along with June there will be Dolliverse in few weeks time!~

 

Other things have taken my time lately, but some work has been done.

Firstly, I took my tinies out to a japanese garden to have some nice pictures of some Tsukifly dresses.

Mai (DD-Anne March Hare) displaying one of the longer tiny dresses.
She herself may be up for sale as a DD-Anne fullset as well.

Enne (Soom R.Picro) displaying one of the shorter tiny dresses.
She will be offered for sale at Dolliverse as well.

Sewing has taken direction from tiny dresses towards SD sized skirts. Here are few new ones. Good for making Mix&Match. I cannot wait to test how they display hanging in the rack.

My plans to make some shirts has been postponed until further notice..

Mai displaying heavier tiny dress seen previously on Enne.
She can carry it a bit better.

 Lately I have been inspired by Alice in Wonderland a lot. May be partly because of Mai, but I have had this plan of making a themeshoot with this theme for a longer time. Haven't got around doing something for it. But now it seems I have allocated characters for my dollies and some outfits are slowly coming together. So later during the summer there might actually be some pictures.. and dresses to that regard.

Next week is for building the table display for Dolliverse and seeing through the dresses, skirts and all the other stuff. Possibly some quick pictures of that will be up later :3

Thank you for dropping by!~

Velvet dress and beads

Hello again ~!

It has been raining this week. Not very inspired about that fact, but fresh air is good.

I have been busy completing some other things for a while.

In any case new creations are always in my mind - more or less.

 

While studying and having very limited access to any sewing machine my bigger projects have to wait.

Thus, majority of the dresses and other clothes will be in tiny size. Or it seems so!

If there is any size in particular that would spark an interest I would love to take suggestions :3

 

Now I wanted to make some jewellery to go with the other things.

Personally I love keys so key theme was a natural choice.

 

All three options will be available at Dolliverse.

Previously I have also made animals and jewellery out of beads.

A while back I found some beads from my boxes and I wanted to make use of them as well.

Small companions for your dolls (beaded spiders and dragonflies!) or  a flowery headpiece to choose from. 

 

 

Finally, as can be seen this velvet dress and beads don't go together although the headline would like to suggest so.

I could not resist buying this velvet fabric.

Not very fun sewing it by hand, but all done and quite happy with the outcome.

Still thinking to add something to the collar, kind of feels like it is missing something..

 

Velvet dress in tiny size w/ lace collar

 I will be back with some new updates after a week or so.

Have to do some travelling in between without proper access to internet (but a sewing machine instead!).

 

 Thank you for reading.

A tiny dose of tiny dresses

My little Enne (Soom R.Picro) has been my 'fashion victim' for the whole week.

That means she has been there to model my newest creations in tiny size.

 

I decided it was time to try and make few longer dresses.

For both of these dresses I have used similar design, even similar fabric.

Only the color of the fabrics and used laces/ribbons are different.

Yellow&orange dress has an accompanying headdress although not shown well in the photo.

Orange&Yellow long dress w/ headdress

Long pink dress

These two longer dresses will be up for sale.

I believe only these two will be offered for now. The rest are likely to be knee-lenght.

Knee-lenght dress made out of japanese sakura/ribbon fabric.

That blue knee-lenght dress is my personal favorite from this week. I am a fan of that japanese sakura/ribbon fabric so naturally I like everything made out of it (previously I made longer dress in SD size).

Seems to be a bit too flowery for Enne though.

 

In addition I also made one another knee-lenght dress. From the same pink bunny fabric as the above longer dress.

Only that this time I paid more attention to the back side of the dress rather than the front of it (it has very modest buttons only). Some ribbons and laces to decorate the skirt part. 

 

Back of a knee-lenght pink dress.

 Now my plans are to gather up older stuff, try out some knee-lenght dresses with lace fabrics and build up some more stock for sale. So far I am pretty pleased with all the dresses and other things I have, but I wish to be able to offer even more variety of different products.
