Angelique's New Wig

If finished Angelique's new beaded wig yesterday, and just want to share a few pics! ^_^ 

Little Red Riding Hood

I'm finally getting a chance to play this weekend! It seems like ages since I've been able to play with my porcelain BJDs, I've been so busy the past several months. So I did a little mini photo shoot with Kisa - she's dressed like Little Red Riding Hood ^_^ Instead of her normal red wig, I wanted to see what she'd look like as a brunette (that, and I think it looks better with the red hood). I think she looks pretty cute this way, although I still like her best in the red wig. But it's nice for a change.  So, here she is - wig, clothes and shoes are all by me. What do you think of her like this?

Oh, and in case I don't post again before tomorrow (and I probably won't), I want to wish you all a very Happy Easter! God bless ~ 

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 I originally made it for Isabelle, but I think it is prettier on Gizella.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!

Qiu Yue

Yesterday was very nice, because a new dolly came home! She is a 35cm porcelain BJD by JRDolls. I have decided to name her Qiu Yue, which means "autumn moon" in Chinese. I think she's just a stunning doll. I have wanted a doll like her for so very long, so I'm really excited to have her - I think she is my favorite doll now, aside from Kisa ^_^ I have lots of plans for her! I'd like to dress her like Fei Hong Jin from Seven Swordsmen (Chinese wuxia drama), and like royalty from different Chinese dynasties. I'd also like to make her some characters from folklore, like the Field-Snail Fairy, and Chang 'E. I need to make her clothes and a wig, which I will start soon, but for now she borrowed some things from my other girls, so that I could take a few pictures of her :)

Anastasia's Bead Wig

I finally finished a beaded wig for Anastasia ^_^ It was an experiment, this is the first time I've made a bead wig with this kind of bangs. It was a bit of a challenge, the pieces are short, and wanted to stick straight out! I got it to work okay, though, and I think she looks cute in it.

Isabelle's Bead Wig

I finished Isabelle's bead wig over the weekend (would've finished a week ago, but I ran out of thread!). So I just want to share a picture of it ^_^

And one of her with her twin sister, Irina, for fun.

I think they look so cute together!

Kisa's New Bead Wig

I made this wig for Kisa a while ago, but didn't get a picture of it until now. I really love the way she looks in it!

Jin Yan

Today my beautiful new doll from JRDolls arrived! I named her Jin Yan (金燕), which means Golden Swallow in Chinese. ^_^ Here are a few photos of her:

Irina's New Bead Wig

I just wanted to share a few photos of Irina in her new beaded wig, I finished it last week. It is made entirely of glass seed beads (Delica). It's for a costume that I eventually want to make her (also beaded), but I think she can pretty much wear it with anything ^-^

The Firebird

I finally finished my Firebird costume! It took a really long time, almost 3 months. But I am really happy with the results, so it was worth it ^-^ Some of you may have seen my WIP post from May, if you did, you will notice that I changed models - the pics I posted before were of Gizella, but I think it looks better on Bu Yong, so it's hers now. I had her in mind for it originally anyways.

So, for those of you who don't know, the Firebird is a creature from Russian and Slavic mythology, sort of like the Phoenix. She is from a far-away land, looks something like a fire-colored peacock, and a single feather can illuminate an entire room. The entire bird glows and shines, she puts off her own brilliant light. If you capture her, she can bring you blessings and fortune, but if she doesn't like you, she can bring your doom. A very interesting character, I think. Which made me wonder, what if, instead of being an actual bird, she was a not-qute-human, but very beautiful, woman?

On to the costume! The entire ensemble is made of glass seed beads, with swarovski crystal accents. It is my own design, inspired by my illustration of the same name.

And now, I will quit babbling, and show you the pictures! I hope you enjoy them :)
