Just some bits and pieces

Jeremiah

I had thought this guy wouldn't be coming home for another 3-4 months at least until just recently. Was so sure of it even. Then a friend of mine linked me to a sales post on DoA and there he was, RD Amethyst, $200 under the original sales price and located in a neighbouring country. It still seems a bit surreal to me that he will be here already come next month, I don't think I've even really registered it in my brain yet just how lucky I am. That, all thanks to my friend, it's, man I can't believe it at all! Will be a lot of fun painting him just like his brother, Theodore. Already have his clothing laying at the ready for when he arrives, can't wait to see them both side by side ♥

FMD

Of course he will have the exact same hairstyle as his brother! Though the colour will be different from one another.

I'm entirely all too smitten by this wig, already have two of them home. It's just an all too adorable cut and styling!

And while I was at it I got a new wig home for Taffy as well!

Been wanting this one for him since forever! It's just so cute and I couldn't resist as the top of it is exactly the same colour as his natural hair (anime boy, so yeah it makes sense that way sorta).

John Wick

Recently watched this movie and I don't know, I just really, really want to personify that guy into a doll. Found the perfect sculpt for the purpose as well, a SoulDoll Jan. I've always really like that sculpt since I first came across it but could never really figure out what to use him for so contented myself with simply looking. Until now. I find he looks pretty much like the guy John Wick and that nose!!! I'm a true sucker for noses and that nose there is no exception!

FreedomTeller

And because we can't have John dressed in anything but the finest tailored suits I'm going to throw all of my money at FreedomTeller. Already got everything picked out along with a few extra bits and pieces like a bag, gloves, and a watch. Oh yeah, he'll get to look just fine. Too bad they don't sell assorted guns and assault rifles because I'd definitely be spending every last penny there if they had had those!

Endless

Talking about clothing, just recently I got yet another dress home from Endless and I couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase. It's exactly like in the pictures but just a million times cuter in person! Funny how it's always like that when you can finally touch it. As per usual Derrek didn't fit the socks, but no surprise there as his legs are so thin, else everything is as should be. Have a slight Alice in Wonderland vibe to it if you ask me.

I need so much more clothing from there for this guy, he looks so damn adorable in it and it's really quite affordable too! Though just not when you want to buy every single piece all in one go xD

Eyes

I've set myself an almost impossible task when it comes to eyes. I want to swap every pair of glass eye with urethane ever so slowly. It's a pain in the ass as the only doll eye maker I know of who makes urethanes in 6 and 8mm only takes pre-orders every once in a blue moon. I need two pairs in both 6mm and 8mm and I'm not exactly made of money as such and if I'm real lucky I will pass my chance at ordering those four pairs. I'd really like to find more urethane doll eyes makers who go all the way down into tiny little eye sizes.
Besides that I need another 20 some pairs of eyes, most of which will be from Mako and a small handful from DollShe as well. Glad I can get a few pairs home here and there and that it isn't something urgently needed. Haste is waste as they say.

AyuAna

A couple days ago I sat really wanting a dress for Merida. Like really, really, wanted a dress for her. I could sew one myself, sure, but because of my job increasingly taking up pretty much all of my time I don't have time before summer is well over and then a bit. A friend of mine suggested I'd go look on etsy, and, even though there were only 10 matches or so, there were only one dress coming close to something akin to Merida's medieval dress. Must say I've fallen hard for AyuAna and their amazing creations!

I will be getting this stunning dress here for Merida and she will finally be a lot more complete than she currently is.

All she's been wearing in ages have been an old night dress, my intentions were I'd find fabrics, sew her something pretty to wear. Just didn't happen. Have in mind contacting them at some point and ask for a commission piece and have them make me one of her dresses from the movie along with undergarments, cost whatever it may.

Also placed an order for a set of clothing, for the guy who I had a little fun painting like some emo-punk-whatever which was in my last post, along with some flower headdresses. Couldn't stop myself.

Looking forward to receiving all of this in the mail soon, even thinking of doing a video of sorts, I don't know. Never done any BJD related videos before so don't know if I will be saying anything or what. Just have this urge to make a video for some reason, but we'll see.

I had planned for a break from bringing any more resin home this year, but I might as well forget about it. It never lasts no matter how good my intentions are, I always fail.

Yeah.

So, my upcoming project, another to the heap, is bringing Hiro (Big Hero 6) to 'life' in resin. Crazy obsessed with the movie, even considering looking around for a sculpt suitable to be his brother. Anyway, the sculpt in mind to get home to be Hiro is this loverly guy from SoulDoll, Hunoi. Had considered one from SpiritDoll (Pyrus) but he looked much too young. 

I'll be getting a wig from Monique for him and ED eyes as Mako doesn't have any dark brown eyes suitable for him. The clothing is a pain in the ass to find anywhere, would love to sew myself but I've got so little time because of my job that it'd be nice if one could find it all somewhere. No one makes 3/4 cargo trousers it seems, you can't find a red t-shirt anywhere, and even the blue hoodie with a zipper down the front is some of a feat having to find. Guess I will have to sew it all if I want any of it even if that is going to take a while. Even went so far as to make a list of clothing you see him wearing throughout the movie and he'll get to have all of it in his wardrobe. Don't think I'll be able to find brown sneakers like his, so will have to make do with something that comes as a close second to the ones in the movie. At least he won't be home for quite some months to come so that's always something, gives me plenty of time to browse around :)

Talking of sewing, I got annoyed at the crinoline I had finished up on. The fabric for the piping is really all too stretchy and is messing things up. Going to redo the piping now that I have proper cotton fabric for it, and this time I will be using some sort of mannequin to build it up on to have it be as close to perfect as can be. Have in mind using plastic boning for the top 4 half hoops, will make it easier to work with as steel boning is quite a pain when you have to tie a bow. I don't exactly know when I will finish up on it, nor do I know anything of when the entire dress will come together for the big day, but at least it isn't something wildly important with a deadline and everything. All in good time, as they say.

Jack Frost (DollFamily-A Wen) should also soon be on his way here and going to have to slowly work my way through sewing him his clothing. Have drafts for the patterns for both his hoodie and trousers down, it's all about fitting them to his petite body. Glad it's all relatively simple. As soon as I've got it all down I'll most definitely be shooting a picture of him and Pitch together as he, too, will finally have some proper clothing. Think I will make them some crowns of the quartz crystal points I've got. Might have to buy some silver wire to bind it all together with as I can't remember if I've got some or where I've put it if I do happen to have some somewhere. I'll figure it out when the time comes.
