So I got my Leeke order yesterday, a huge pile of wigs (girls, please demand your wigs when we meet! :3) but luckily, no customs <3 I got myself two wigs:

Uncle K and roayl cadet blue. He looks good, the colour is great and I like him having a shorter haircut. Hey, demon guys do visit barber shops at times!

And Hilde with sakura pink. This wig was a complete disappointment, but it can be styled to look okay…in pictures. I’ve sent Leeke pictures of the actual quality of this wig, and I am really hoping they’ll come through :/ It makes me a little sad, since this is definitely Hilde’s hair colour and I’d love her to have a good wig in this colour. Oh well, we’ll see what happens! Luckily my little birdy is always cute <3

I think I warned you with my little obsession with stripes and polka dots…

Anyway, this was Hilde’s meetup dress, a balloon dress and my first time of doing pintucks. A miniature clothing iron would have been a great help here, it was pain in the tail to iron the bodice and not to mess up the tucks…maybe I need invest into one even though they’re bit on the expensive side. Also please do notice her spats, sadly she cannot wear all those adorable yo-sd shoes around so I have to improvise ;3

What’s this “children of resin”? Well, it’s of course Hartsilapset, our Finnish BJD community/forum! With little over 1600 members, we’re the largest (okay, maybe also the only one ;P) national BJD forum, and the place where I spend a great deal of my daily internet time, especially in our IRC chat Anyway, the community turned 5 years old this April, and we had a little party to celebrate that in Helsinki this Saturday.

Okay, I cheated. With about 50 participants and 66 dolls, it wasn’t little. I was supposed to be the “official” photographer, but sadly, I kind got stuck in group activities/talking stupid stuff/making heaps of coffee/DRINKING heaps of coffee. Anyway, here’s my little stash of meetup photos:

My little ones are already ready for our Finnish BJD forum’s b-day party! Outfits by me, it was really relaxing to sew on all the beads on Hilde’s dress <3 It's hard to believe even our forum is already five years old...if I remember correctly, I came in when the forum was already one year old, so in the summer, it's Aegis' (my first BJD) 4th birthday! Time sure flies. I maybe need to make a big post and go through all the changes there has been, lots of dolls have come and gone during these four years. I'm happy though that no matter what, Aegis is still here, my special little boy <3 And most of the characters I've come up with still remain.

Anyway, today is my official "do-absolutely-nothing-useful"-day! Although I've kinda failed it already since I've done some kanzashi flowers for my dolls and I’ve written some texts as well…but no more useful and productive stuff! I think I’ll just make some more coffee and go and finish Ace attorney Investigations, I’m already at the last case. I really love this game :3

Happy easter!

The photos in this entry are hideous, but I was excited and just wanted to show some new things :3 At least I tried GIMPing them up…

First something I found from Prisma’s toy section I was visiting with some friends *3* It’s supposed to be a jewelry box for kids, but now it’s a sofa for Hilde. I also got some beads and jewelrymaking supplies with it Not bad! Hilde will take over the shelf of the little dollies, because Enne is moving. No, I’m not selling her, she just got herself a new apartment…

Aka Hilde’s first “real” shoot! It was such a pretty day outside, I was supposed to go outside with her but then I felt lazy Anyways, here are some quick snapshots of Hilde, little pigeon girl with lots of guts and temper. Her full name is Hildegard von Taubeholz, by the way.

Since these were taken with my Helios lense, I wanted to get a sort of “vintage” effect while doing the afterediting. Actually I just corrected the white balance and then played with curves a wee bit.

Oh hi! This week hasn’t been a very good one, the first I was sick and now both boys have caught the same bug But I have some new things for the resin folks, no worries!

First your daily dose of “DERP?”. I visited an Asian kiosk the other day and lo and behold, they were also selling various cabochon to glue on your mobile phones. I bought the mirror and comb set and various roses, skulls and cakes to use on doll jewelry! They were not terribly cheap but I’m a sucker for cute miniature stuff so it’s all good. The bunny headdress is a new design and I’m planning to make a few for sale later :3

I visited a fleamarket with Kihapuu and found lots of excellent stuff. The next time I’ll have more cash! But I pictured some of my discoveries: my favourite one was a miniature glass globe for them dollies. I had a similar, blue one which was a souvenir from my hubby to me. I just broke it ;_; The same seller had a fantastic birdcage with mechanical bird in it, but 50 euros…oh well, I saw something similar on Ebay selling over 2000 dollars Bit too much for a doll prop! We also found a MSD-sized doll park bench which at least I gave forward since I have limited space and my MSDs don’t really need one.

I also got some pretty fluffy mohair yarn which makes excellent bear hats (that’s one WIP on Enne’s head), bracelet that I broke apart for cheap glass beads and not pictured, Yashica’s film camera. I thought I might be able to remove its lense and use it on my Canon, but that’s not possible Oh well, it was cheap as what and now I at least have one working film camera if I feel like shooting on film. There was also a seller selling Russian/CCR memorabilia and Zenit cameras, I of course checked what kind of lenses they had ;3 Too bad they all had the same Helios lense I already own, but I’ll keep looking!

Awww, now I itch to go for an another hunt, I love fleamarkets and this one held in Helsinki’s ice hall will probably become my favourite :3 Luckily they will held more fleamarkets at the end of February <3

Today I took pictures of some stuff I’ve been making lately, they’ll be behind the cut!
