Dark Dollhouse

Boring Wednesday middle of April gets interesting tweet message in my stream from Danny Choo. Just shows how often I check my mail…

Minutes later gets a phonecall.

The boring Wednesday all of a sudden have taken a turn to be interesting.

Having a chit chat and is asked if I do commissions?

Nah, not really, hobbying around for friends but that is about it but hey, why not, that could be fun ^^

So, if I can send him prices on stuff that I made previously and he will look at it once he is back in Tokyo. Cool stuff. Can do that!

So, I basically freak out and txt everyone who might be remotely interested in knowing this. They all seem to think I am slightly hysterical, which I probably am, but think it to be pretty cool all the same.

Thursday is Ashcloud day and funnily enough the day when Danny Choo is supposed to fly back to Tokyo.

Plan is to finish this before I myself was heading out for Tokyo end April and hand it over to him at Doll Summit.

Time however, is getting short as well, he is not back in Tokyo! Luckily he gets himself back to London and internet connection and the ball starts rolling with about a week to go.

Got a photo of what he would like and what colours to get it in: Orange and white. Cool, had that in my stash. Only had to go buy orange thread as well, did not have that.

Basically, did some test sewing that went really well a day, two days before flying of and finished the actual outfit the night before leaving at noon the next day!

It made me sleep very well on the plane!

Have seen it popping up in pictures recently on dannychoo.com and am well chuffed. Think it looks awesome!

Think I will have to make the tops for my own harem of girls at some point…

Ready for Sunday!!!

If I get time I will try to make a pair of wedges to go with it but only if time.

The inspiration was old pin up and wanting her to match her name, Marilyn.

So decided on a mohair sweater – but that was about it for the old pin up.

Rest is a bit more manga inspired, including the hair. Was deciding between the kiki wig and the dollmore that Cinnamon sported in earlier pics, kiki won.

Skirt turned out exactly as I imagined it – sometimes my ideas change a little from first thought to finalized idea but not this one. Even think it turned out a little better. The frill worked really well. Oh, I did cancel a ribbon idea simply down to the fact that I did not buy enough lol.

Butterflies was from a ribbon and cut them out and sewn on individually.

Marilyn had to borrow Cinnamon’s feet as she only has her high heel option and they looked kinda stupid in socks.
