Dark Dollhouse

Put her together today and gave her a good spraying of MSC to keep her.

Managed to scrape one of her nails and damage one of her horns in this process – numb nut me!!! Oh well, just one of those things I guess. As I buy these to be used I should not moan but it is still annoying.

Took forever though O.o but so worth it and she looks stunning.

Cannot believe the difference between my experience with her and Topaz has been. Really did not want to open the box when I received Topaz, should have seen that as a sign. Where here I was ooooh, cannot wait to get her out! Of the Soom sculpts, Beryl is still my favourite but Vesuvia is a very close second.

Just some pics of the whole process.

It should have hit me here that the black paint would come off if not dry enough – oh well – bugger.






And the woman got no knickers! Kinda realised this when taking these low shots… Why did they not give her any knickers???

Met up with Twirl, her mum and Sebastian Nyx in Camden for some pub lunch and dollie talk and posted these on twitter – thought I would put them up here as well.

Brought Cinnamon and new arrival Zhora, jut arrived from the US this very morning.

Lovely weather and was actually able to sit outside for a change!!!

Meeting the new guy, Sebastian Nyx

Sat down to have a chat

Group shot of the lovely minis – they are my favourite size I must admit – fits right into a handbag ^^

So I bought this pack of 10 really cheap knitting yarns before Christmas with various colours and textures in it.

Two of these have now turned into respectively a short jacket with attached daggers and a long gilet both with hoods and inspired me to make two cyberpunk Unoas Raz and Daz.
One is a Street Samurai with magical abilities and the other one is a Street Hacker with paranormal abilities.

This is the short jacket with the daggers flat and worn by Cinnamon – well – she is my favourite girl ^^

So, have gone on the hunt for wigs and eyes and located both after some major struggling – why is all the stuff you want always sold out???

Pink and Green bob wigs found on Ebay with Linny’s help – I am apparently useless in finding anything on there.

Hair extensions in Yellow and Olive found at My little customs to add to the bobs to make them a little more interesting and cyberpunky.

And just remembered, bought some plastic tubing for making bracelets, think that would work well in the wigs as well. Have to dig that out.

Eyes had to be ordered from Masterpiece as I just could not find anything on the MP or any of the other respective doll sites that had any resemblance to the picture I have in my head of what they should look like. I am not sure they still are right but will find out once they arrive – Microchip and Metallic Fuchsia with feline pupil.

Fabric for clothes and accessories like belts and arm protectors is almost sorted and will be making boots for one myself using the Unoa sole option parts and the other will just have the high heel option. And got my mini eyelets and setters so all good to go for the corset part that one of them shall be wearing. And for boots.

Their faces will be customized sleeping Lusis and Sist faceplates so they get the asian look. Already sketched them out in pencil, still a little scared to actually start drilling.

Sketched up as to what I would like them to look like finished – scary!

And have bought some coloured eyelashes… hope it works… If not, will just leave them without. Not a big fan of lashes but might look good. We shall see…

Think that is it for now – now just for waiting getting it all home and see if it fits – if not – pooh!

It looks really good in my head but that does not mean it will when it is finished… Just hope all the colours actually match when the stuff arrives!!! Watch this space ^^

Vesuvia finally shipped today and has left Korea:

Date Time Location Tracking Event
15-05-2009 22:20 Delivery Agent – SEOUL – PTT Left origin country
15-05-2009 18:27 Delivery Agent – KOREA, REPUBLIC OF Collected from customer

So, a week or more before I actually get her. Hope she arrives safely.

A before and after shot of one of her hooves that flaked really badly.

Think it turned out pretty well. At least it is not ‘white’ anymore.

Picked her up today and it was the nice Parcelforce man who knows me by now who accepted the ransom note so it was a little less painful.

Looking stunning *sigh*

Got this leaf dress idea but need to get printer fabric… Hmmm

Tried new wig that just arrived today on Sommer, not quite right but not for her anyway so…

Sommer with her right wig and Polaris still in the Topaz wig. It is actually massive on her, think I need one of those wig cap thingys and fill it out with something lol. Think it suits her though

Having a bit of trouble sleeping so been doing this for a couple of nights now:

All in all happy with it, could have been a bit tighter but does not show in photos when pinched in the back.

All inspired by Danny Choo and his Dollfie Dreams Dolls.

After looking at this again his sweater got a nicer finished edge, will be looking into correcting that ^^

As money is unfortunately not endless I had to let this one slide back in November when I could have pre-ordered her.

Was hoping that she would show up one day for sale and she did!

So now, Topaz gone and Polaris taking her place, much better feel about this and so looking forward to seeing her next to Sommer.

Got this idea about dress out of autumn leaves… Now where to find small silk leaves in the right size…
