Death by cuteness anyone? Besides the seriously adorable Volks uniforms I’ve been going on about everywhere but here, early last week I purchased these two adorable Kuma (bear) hats from etsy artist ParakeetPeach. She was at Doll Fete a few weekends back and I happened to spot them in a few instagram photos from the show (more reasons to love that app). I crossed fingers that she might have a few left over and that she would put them in her shop. Lucky for me she did, only a few days after the show. How cute are they?! I love her cute accessories and clothes. I just want everything that she has in her shop right now!
Now, as for these two silly boys… I think they are attempting the Fusion Dance OAO. Which I will tell is almost, if not absolutely impossible with the Volks YoSD body. In case for some strange reason you are not familiar with the Fusion dance here is a perfect example below:
This is a DBZ thing but in this case it’s some random scene from Zetsubou Sensei.
I am far from a pro photographer… as you can see. But I was having some silly fun with some new phone apps this evening. I took the photo using TtV Camera then adjusted it using filters from PixIromatic. I later went back and touched it up one last time with Instagram (the results of that last touch up… Too much?). Just having fun. I wanted to see what type of vintage photos I could create using the camera phone. I think the style of this one may be a bit too early but I’m going to mess around some more with the millions of filter combos available between the several apps. More»
(like my grainy artsy fartsy photo?)
This is projects I’ve been wanting to do for sometime. I have a small collection of Japanese style tea cups that I’ve gathered over several years. They were either bought by myself or given to me from family and friends. I wanted a scaled down version for my own little crew. Most of them are Japanese so why would they not have a small collection of their own.
These are seriously roughed out version at the moment. I’m using LaDoll’s Premier which I’m not quite used to using. I’m usually sculpt with sculpy but I could not get it to work for this project. The idea is to finish these and then make a mold with some left over oomoo I have stored away. Then I’ll be casting these guys. That way each of my boys can have a personalized tea cup (or cups) for themselves. It will be a fun little prop I think…
So it seems that Amubleu will be setting up shop at Otakon again this year. Unfortunately someone blabbed this info to the chibi without checking with me first. Due to over excitement (and too much sugar) the boys decided to pack now for the event. Haru, the more sensible one out of the two decided to pack necessities. Clothes being the case here. Where as Yoshi grabbed anything he could get his hands on… this included the Captain (run Captain!). I think Yoshi takes after me in this situation (no really, if you traveled with me you would know… Kelsey can vouch). Silly boys forgot two very important pieces of information to remember: 1. the convention is months away. We have plenty of time to prepare and 2. We’re local to the con. As much as a disappointment this is to them we will be sleeping at home that weekend. Silly boys…
So the lovely Mr Head is here and I love him to pieces. Jamie of Lightlybattered did an amazing job. He looks as though he was sculpted this way and not modded. The mod work is smooth and flawless and the face up is gorgeous. I love the shape of his eye. For my first experience with sending a head out to be modded and painted, I would say it was so worth the time and money and I see no problem doing it again. Love him<3 More»
So I got images of Mr Head the other day and I’m just too happy!! If you are wondering gabriel (doa) of lightlybattered modded this lovely boy for me. What a beautiful job she did! This is my first time ever sending a head out to be modded or even given a face up. Up until now if any of my boys needed painting I had done the job myself. But in this particular situation I wanted to have his eyes closed. This would entail the use of epoxy and airbrushing to blend. Two things that I had either never done or don’t trust myself to do. Miss Seijikat had recommended Jamie after having Natsuki’s face up done by her last year (talk about gorgeous). The mods themselves are so smooth and clean and the face up is amazing. So happy with the beautiful work Jamie had done and I can’t wait to get the head to put the rest of him together.
…from blocking and finishing (found a use for those 17mm broom sticks… I mean knitting needles), to packaging, then display. I have too much time on my hands but at least I can say it was fun. Especially while watching ハウス for the second time.
Go ahead and watch the trailer… you know you want to.
Oh, Supia…. look what you’ve done now. Not only did you sculpt the only female worthy enough to join my “males only” bjd wish list but now you’ve just made one of the loveliest boys I’ve set my eyes on for the first time in a very long time. I knew that checking out that news thread screamed trouble. “Supia”+”boy”=TROUBLE I TELL YOU!!!!!! khakhsdfkahluh!!! I want!!! T_T … right now;A; I actually joined in the discussion on DOA… for a moment (hey that’s a lot for me). Didn’t think he would fit in with any of my other boys… (not like it matters) but someone found a loop-hole *cough* *seijikat* *cough* … trouble maker.
Still working on Merry Mart items. The show is this weekend. Still have lots of thoughts on my plans for next year and projects that will be going on, starting at the end of this year (so soon). All things that will keep me very busy… but a really good kind of busy that will involve me playing with dolls.
Ugh, I’m coming down with a bit of a cold. Taking some zinc and going to bed.
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, these guys just crack me up. I love how they photograph. The mr does an amazing job at capturing them.
Edit* Yoshi is wearing an olive t made by Mon from Dorset clothing. It goes so well with his knitted shorts and is just as soft<3 More»
