Dark Dollhouse

Wooooot!

Beryl got her wings today!

Fullset complete and she is looking absolutely stunning and cannot believe I actually got her finally!!!

Took some pics but ehm, hubby got the mac and I hate the PC to do any image work on so… Later ^^ But oh, she is just soooo photogenic it is beyond anything else.

I am ever so slightly falling more in love with the Beryl face than the Unoa Lusis – Help! I am starting to feel like a traitor! Still think the Unoa body is way the best though, so far not beaten… also not saying beaten by the Beryl but oh, it is a very close race here for me.

Bought lining for a coat for her last weekend before my shoulder turned weird and now thinking it might have been a good thing I did not start it before I had the wings. They kinda need holes at the back of the coat… Maybe I should make it a cape instead… That would actually make more sense… Unless the wings magically grows out of her back whenever she needs them… Hmmm…

Later:
Got the Mac!

Piccies Piccies!

Russion EMS bag – never had one of these before – interesting graphics

Dina with all her goodies!

And Piccies!!! Trying to get decent closeups with feathers in the way = hard when you have a point-and-shoot camera like me. Strongly considering a SLR… As hubby said: You could get one for one of your dolls. He is so right but, I would actually rather have the doll and stick with our ok but well, not very effective camera, for something like this. Under normal conditions it is actually rather good.

Beryl outfit arrived today in three little zip lock bags nice and neat – and no customs!!! Even sweeter.

Doll, check.
Wig, check.
Eyes, check.
Outift, check.
Wings – ah bugger ><

One day ^^

Oh – and sort of just found out that Beryl is a yellow gemstone and must be the reason why Beryl is yellow *no shit Sherlock*
Anyway, looking on Ebay they seem pretty cheap so thinking it could be fun finding some tiny ones and make her a really funky yellow beryl gemstone outfit…

Getting my Unoa B-el dressed up for Sunday and got this ‘fantastic’ idea to do a shirt with a real collar and cuffs.

Maybe I should have gone for the sweater option to save some time lol.

Getting way too late so will have to finish of the cuffs and hem and put some poppers on it Friday – out tonight so no time to do it then.

Then for the kilt…

First sample was a bit tight under the arms but second one turned out ok – this is the first one.

Have used an old shirt of hubby’s that had gone a bit unwearable around the collar area. It had a really nice embroidery on the front that I thought would work well on a doll shirt – hence the ‘fantastic’ idea of a shirt.

Close up of embroidery. Size is actually ok.

Close up of the ‘fantastic’ collar. Saying that, it does look pretty good but it took forever getting it right!

Showing off a bit of flat chest ^^

Cinnamon went to her first meet today in London Green Park and I did not take any pics of her there – kinda forgot.

Group photo from Leicester Square at end of day.

02-08-08: Adding to post as I just found out how to use Iphoto and upload images in bulks ^^ so more pics here.

Decided to make some nice little pouches to use as storage for the underwear as well as doubling as a mini washbag.

My first line of thought was to make small boxes for it but seemed a tad useless, you cannot see anything through a box + it is one of those things that just gets thrown out or somehow lost.

With a little storage pouch you can see the underwear and at the same time keep it in one place so it does not get lost when not worn.

Made some underwear to bring the London meet 27 July hoping someone are interested. Not decided on a price yet – will have to do a little market research lol.

Cut out a black set as well with a red rose print on it but not sure I will get time to get it made up…

Also had pink set cut out but then realised I was out of pink lace >< Guess that one will just have to wait.

Stripe Set – 1pcs

Blue set – 2pcs

Front set 1

Back set 1

Front set 2

Back set 2

Decided to spend the weekend making underwear for Cinnamon – Actually she just got named that. Think it was her faceup that called for the name…

First fitsample – a little bit on the big side!

After a little amending to the spec and a much better fit is achieved.

Done ^^. Forgot to take some “making-of” pics of the bra top. Oh well.

A little posing for the camera – lost her wig somewhere in the fabric mess … Guess it will turn up when I tidy up. Oh – the wellies… I just think they are really cool lol!

Made a second set to bring for sale at the London meet end of this month – Improved fit and a little detailing added. Hope it will appeal to someone ^^.
