Gizella's New Look

It seems like, a lot of times, I make something for one of my dolls, but then after its done I think it suits another doll better. That is what happened with this wig. I originally made it for Isabelle, but I think it is prettier on Gizella. So, here is Gizella wearing it - sorry the lighting isn't better, it was really gloomy yesterday when I took these!

WIP: Feathers of the Firebird

I am working on a new beaded costume for Gizella. She will be the Firebird. The costume will be inspired by my Firebird illustration, although it will be a little bit different. I am very excited about it ^-^ Here are a few photos of her with the feathers I have made so far - these feathers will be used for the dress itself, and there will be different ones for the "tail" and "wing" feathers.

The dress she is wearing in these photos is one I knit several years ago - it was meant to be for a Firebird costume (I have had this idea in my head a long time!) for a larger doll (a Luts Delf) which I no longer have. I never finished that costume. This dress is actually too big for Gizella, but I like the colors on her, so I just pin it back.


In other news, I have a new illustration in the works. Actually, it should've been done and posted already! But my dad had a heart attack in the end of April (long story, but he's doing okay now), so it is only half colored right now. I'm hoping to finish coloring it one of these days soon, though, I hate leaving it unfinished!

Gizella

My new doll, Gizella, arrived this morning! She is a 35cm porcelain BJD by JRdolls. I named her after the balled "Giselle". So I just wanted to share a few pictures of her with you ^_^ The lighting today is pretty bad, so I will take more pics later.


I made her dress, wig and shoes, they are all made of organic cotton. 

All my girls together.

I have photos of my other girls to share with you too, as you can see in the group shot above, I made them all new wigs! So far I have only posted Elena's and Kateri's, I haven't had time to go through the other pictures yet. I will try to get through them this week...
