Mail Loot for the dollies
A couple of beautiful hand made dresses arrived in the mail! They are carefully made by joeykblythe and were meant for my Lati yellow dollies, but 2 other dolls actually jumped into them faster than speeding bullets ^^; Picture above was taken after I made those 2 take them off (you believe me? lol)
Test top for L bust and glasses
Today took a little time to do a test top (semi edited from my previous pattern made for the M bust). Still need a bit of tweaking in the bust area, but thankfully still wearable, had to hide a small flaw with the ribbon in front :P
Also dug out a couple pair of doll’s glasses I got the last time I went to Japan (intended for my 45cm MSD sized doll but too big for her, but too feminine for my 60cm boy doll).
I dunno, found that this pair of glasses made her look a bit more mature than I like? ^^; Maybe would suit better with school uniform or a plain top ^^; (think sexy teacher ^o^) One thing tho, this pair of glasses keep slipping off her nose!
A few more photos :D Warning, there’s a couple of cleavage photo right at the end, so you be warned ^^;
Daisy and Clover photoshoot :)
Below is a photo of Clover, the little lambie hand puppet for 11-12 inch tall dolls — he could also be a finger puppet for humans! Clover belongs to Daisy, a custom blythe doll more back story here.
I know Blythe dolls are not everyone’s cuppa tea, but since they got me started on my dolly obsession hobby, I really have no reason to not feature them every now and then, even tho I have started owning some other types of dolls, like Licca, Mamachapp, Dollfie Dream etc. Today I am going to feature some current photos of my visiting blythe and her little companion, Daisy and Clover. Daisy currently belongs to a dear friend of mine living a few hours drive away, I originally conceptualised, customised and sew most of her outfit to enter a Blythe Beauty Contest held by CWC in Japan.
Lots more photos! Read more
Nendoroids outting part 2
Continuing from my earlier news post on dannychoo.com, we bring you more pix from the great outdoors with my current 2 Nendoroids…
Haruhi don’t lick the berries! (Nendoroids are quite a handful huh — or maybe it is just Haruhi?)
Oh noes Pastel ink is lost?!
Pastel ink couldn’t find us for a moment and she got really upset…
Thankfully she managed to find her way to us, cheered up very quickly lol
Trying to find some people around… Too bad they’re too busy to be curious lol
Near by is the fountain which is always on, even in winter ^^;
Too bad Pastel ink is a bit washed out/blurry in this one, was using a smaller point and shoot to take some blind shots ^^;
Pastel Ink, stay still for a picture! :P
Don’t wander off without telling me okay?
I like how it seems like Haruhi is directing Pastel ink chan to look at the camera lol
Constant balancing act
Near the end of the photo session came across this… Hippie car? Pastel ink chan was not very willing to go too near it, she told me she saw doll legs on the car o_o;
Atelier Matin glasses
I have a lot less time to play dolly this year, but once in a while I really could not resist getting something (usually made by others) for them. It could be also because I feel guilty towards them for not giving them as much attention as last few years, but it certainly is enjoyable to get something nice for them! :P
The mail loots of the day….
Take note, this pair of glasses is extremely tiny! A quick measure tells me it’s about 3 cm wide ^^; It is carefully hand made by Matin san, owner of Atelier Matin in Japan ^^/! You can see his works on his Flickr and if you wish to acquire his goods, you can join his yahoo group for latest news. Be warned tho his glasses are very popular, they’re always sold out really quick!
I had the great pleasure to meet him when I went for the Blythe Beauty Contest last year :) Too bad I was probably having cold feets so I did not talk to him (and many others) enough ;_;!
Wonderful pink rimed tinted shades :D so exquisitely made!
I personally feel that Matin’s work is definitely like the branded goods in the dolly world :) he also made this tiny little Ray gun being held by the custom Blythe in the postcard below :)
Elliot (MSD)
Elliot is my hybrid doll, she’s MSD size around 43+cm tall (Never really measured).
Her head is Bee-A from Dream of doll her body is Narae, pinky white from Dollfair.com I keep her all wrapped up in a cabinet because too much sun can cause accelerated yellowing to the french resin ^^; Don’t get me wrong, I love the translucent feel of french resin but I am not sure if I really want to deal with yellowing and having to change Elliot’s body so many times it gets a bit tiring. I hope in future when I actually have some spare cash I can invest in a Utherane Narae body — not anytime soon tho ^^;
This top’s pattern is heavily modified (almost recreated) off the Doll Coordinate Recipe #4’s Unoa pattern. I recalled the first couple test pieces were ill fitting disasters :P This book currently discontinued and I won’t link to somewhere which the book may get sold out, so please search online if you really want to get a copy.
Anyhows, had an idea for an outfit for a while, so took out some modified patterns from what a year + back and tested sewing :) recreated a pattern to get a base pattern I need (still need some tweaking) This version the area under the chest has a bit too much wrinkles, so I gotta fix that ^^;/
Vivi love
I have been taking Vivi out a bit more these days, my other dolls are jealous especially the big head ones ^^; :P
But anyhows, here are some pictures of adorable Vivi out and about ^^
She accompanied me for lunch ^^
One of my other poison… fast food :P
Took her for a quick walk around the current displays at the mall after the food :P
the red thing in the background is a giant tomato display :P It looks big enough for me to sit on ^^; 
How to resist this cute face!!!
close up ^^ 
Vivi behind paper doll ^^ get coloured version here :P
