New dolls and new looks!

Hello everyone,

First of all I want to show you how Padma looks now. Since I got her I wanted to give her a new hair-do and accessories to make her more her character. Padma is a Dorani (Nomad) and her people is inspired by Gypsy and Indian culture.

I have worked on her a couple of weeks ago but I still hadn’t had the opportunity to take some pictures of her finished look. I gave her a couple of thin braid with some accessories and also two gold piercings (a nose and a sign on her forehead) and I think she looks so perfect now! Completely as I envisioned her 🙂

In other news though I have been on quite a doll buying phase of totally unplanned dolls. So there will be 3 new additions to my family soon. Ooops 😉 I actually got a small bonus this month and I ended spending it on dolls…but I guess it is justifiable if they make you happy, right?

The first one was a BJD British Cat from ElleoDolls on Etsy. I have been wanting a cat BJD for so long and I finally placed an order for this beauty! I wanted a “chubby” cat, not the usual siamese/asian style cats you see a lot, and I found this one so I was really happy, I could not NOT order it! I hope it doesn’t take long to get it home, they say it takes 6-8 weeks 🙂

The second one is the sweet Iplehouse KID Irene. I have been admiring the Iplehouse KID dolls for a while now and I have always loved Irene but I never had a reason to get one myself. I suddenly had an epiphany last week that she would actually be perfect for a character from Edenia. It’s not like it is a main character but she is a special one for me and she has a clear story in my mind so I thought it would be good to have her in doll form. Also I couldn’t resist Irene’s cuteness any longer and this was the perfect excuse to get her… so she is on layaway now in Peach Skin (I miss their PS resin) and with the type C face-up (in the picture), along with some clothes, shoes, a wig and eyes (as if it were a fullset) taking advantage of Iple’s current discounts 🙂 It will take long but I can’t wait for her to be home!

And finally the most unexpected and surprising of all my purchases: She is a Volks DWC#2 head and was for sale in the MP on DoA and I couldn’t resist! She is soooo amazing! OMG I can’t believe I actually got this beauty!

I had been wanting a Volks Doll for such a long time, especially after I met WennieBJD’s Bailey in person! I hope to make an hybrid out of this girl but since she was completely unplanned I don’t know what I am going to do or who she will be. Any suggestions for nice bodies for Volks SD hybrids? I know the Feeple60 body works really well and maybe the MaskatDoll Body or the AprilStory body… any other options?

Still here!

It has been quite a while since I posted anything and since I had any time for dolls… I am sorry that I haven’t been commenting much, I just wanted to let you know I keep following everyone’s pictures and videos.

As for news, I got my Minifee Nanuri 2014 head and I love her!!! However I didn’t even have time to take pictures of her I just cleaned her face-up off to send her to the face-up artist. I’ll have her and my little Lusine (Dust of Doll Meel) painted by the amazing Luna from La Coterie della Lune! I am super excited: can’t wait to have them back 😀

In other news Arya is looking quite different! First she got a new wig recently, that I haven’t showed yet. It’s a gorgeous Alpaca wig commission from KagamiDesign on Etsy (that I totally recommend). I had been wanting a wig like this for a while and finally Arya looks like herself. This is her natural hair, wavy and a bit “puffy”, however when she lived in Eden (before she run away) she used to wear it straight and longer, and her maids spent hours making it look “perfect”.

 

Here she is also wearing my latest commission from HarajukuDolls, which is in reality Padma’s outfit (hence the title). But it was so gorgeous I couldn’t resist dressing Arya with it. I think she looks amazing, can’t wait to try it on Padma when I have her with me again…(hopefully in the beginning of October)! As usual I totally adore Flo’s work: she is so talented ❤ And she has been nominated the official seamstress of Edenia!!!

More pictures, because she is gorgeous:

Izzy has her hand again…and a new wig!!!

Just a quick post with some good news!

Izzy was lucky this week, her wrist part came from Fairyland and she finally has her hand again 😀 And she was also spoiled, she got a new wig from Luts, and I love it on her!!! This girl has been a journey and a challenge to find a final look for but I think this might be it!!! Finally ❤

Sorry for the dark pic, but the light has been awful for pics lately, raining all the time…

Izzy stays or Izzy goes…?

I have been having a hard time deciding what to do with my Littlefee Rachel, Isabelle. Lately I wasn’t feeling the connection anymore, when I played with Littlefee it is always with Beatrice, my Ante.
I decided to put her as a feeler for sale but still to order some new wig and eyes to see if what she needed was a makeover, and if I could fall in love with her again or if I would definitely let her go. Today they finally came home and I had the opportunity to try them on.

I must say the eyes improved quite a lot! The light gray makes her face much sweeter, since she already has very heavy eye make up and brows, but light lips. As for the wig, although I like it more than before and she looks actually quite cute, I think mohair is not what I am looking for as a style. The colour however is perfect, I am going to be looking for dark brown wigs (again…), and the fact that it has no bangs makes her face look better, so no bangs 🙂

I decided to give her another chance. First because she has been in the family for such a long time; second because I want to keep her character and I would have to look for re-shell options; third because Bee wants and always wanted a sister (no Littlefee should be alone ;D ); and forth because she has a space in my heart and I feel we are getting closer to a final look for her ❤ (hopefully). So: for now Izzy stays!!!

“The Makeovers”

Ok, after a long and tiring 2 weeks working without weekends (preparing an event for the Design week in Milan) I finally have a breathing moment again to make a post 🙂 It seems as if when I say things will change and I will have more time for dolls, something comes up and I don’t even have time to look at them for a month!!!

This post is about the changes of look that have been going on in my family. I always try to find the perfect look for my characters from face-up to wig and eye combo, some are quite easy and immediately fall into place, however some are harder and go through various changes until I finally say “This is it!”.

Some time ago I decided not to buy more dolls for a while and safe some money to spoil the ones I have (which is not easy since I have quite a big family now, and they all need new stuff :S). My priority was the looks: hair and eyes so I decided to search for the perfect wigs and I am quite happy with the result 🙂

Here is what changed while I was away:

George has been a nightmare from the beginning, it’s quite hard to find nice MSD boy wigs that are not long, fur or a bit girlish… He got his new wig that I liked for a while from LUTS, but I never got around buying and I am quite happy with the result. Still a bit longer than I had in mind but ok.
Izzy has gone through some changes of her own and there was something not quite right with the cut of her previous wig so I decided to try a new one, from Leeke and I finally think this is it 🙂
As for Iris: she looks perfect in her new LUTS wig!!! It’s not like I didn’t like the fur look but I wanted something more her and I found it!!! I am in love with this sweetie again ❤
