New things

Do you know what sucks about the winter, apart it being dead cold at times? Yes, lack of daylight. I’m an evening person so miss Inspiration usually comes to visit me during evenings and early nights…sadly then there is pitch dark outside and even though I have photography lamps, I just don’t like how artificial light looks on photos. Nothing beats natural light!

Okay, this babble was just an excuse to show you some photos of my dollies and new stuff I have for them. Sadly the new things barely show in the photos :P Anyway!

Green antlers

I broke the previous antlers and got new ones, PROFIT! Gold, mint green and pink <3 The headdress is mostly by Illves, I did some minor changes.

Chirpy-chirp

Feetsies!

Yes, she is here finally! Her EMS shipping took forever, and I had to get myself a passport before I could pick her up from the customs, need an official ID to get the package from the customs. But she is here and VERY cute, more slender than I thought that I really like. In the photos she has no proper eyes or faceup, and the light is artificial and I have troubles with that Helios lense and grah how many excuses can I squeeze in this -_-; Nevermind the excuses, I really like her and she’ll be something really fantastic when she is ready *3*

Zenit

Yes, I still own it, it’s just film camera and shooting on film and developing them is expensive and bothersome…I felt bad for it for just colleting dust, so I thought to at least take out its lense and try to get it work with my Canon EOS. An adapter from Ebay did the trick, although it was pain in the butt first to get it off. I thought I ruined my camera for the good -_-; Oh well, now I know how it’s done!

Here are some test pictures I took with it! The lense is called Helios 44-2, all the way from the USSR. Do you think these look different from my usual photography?

Testing

I don’t it like it when folks photograph their dolls with all kinds of junk in the background…and here I did it myself. Oh well.

Duckie!

Yesterday we had a little gossiping sewing gathering at our house, and lo and behold, by accident I finished Enne a new outfit. And then I finally found my My Little Pony accessories and the pulling toy I’ve been looking everywhere. Now Enne is so cute that a little shoot was in order! I am no responsable for any brain damages because she is such a little cupcake ;_;

Enne and duckie

The outfit consists of a headbow, bubbledress and socks. The dress is made of scrap fabrics and decorated with little watch gear I got from a friend, key and chain <3

I shopped

Stuff

Sorry about a bad photo, but this is how I spent gift cards worth of 70 euros on usefull stuff. Missing are some serger threads and new sewing scissors + some sewing machine oil. Yes, I went slightly berserk in Sinooperi and bought beads, sequins, ribbons and embroiredy threads, mostly pink-themed for Meital and my Yrie ;3

By the way, I never knew how expensive this trendy Tilda stuff is O_o

And do you see something suspicious behind all that blingy stuff? Why yes, you do! I already squeed over it in FB and IRC, but that’s my new serger <3 Yes, I got a serger from my workplace, it’s their old one :D I tried it and it works just fine, no need to get it repaired, even the cutting knives are in good shape. I made a pair of leggins for Meital and a sleeveless shirt for Mirkku, and I’m in love. It just took me a few tries, because I sewed too close to the edge of the fabric first and surprinsingly, the result was a mess of threads…and I tried really challenging fabric too, my most slippery and thin tricot. But the second shirt went really well :3 Practise, practise!

Why hello there!

Aegis is b-a-c-k!

Oh look who’s back <3 Jesmoth did him a new faceup and some moddings, and the result is…well, it’s Aegis all the way. I love his boyish little smirk, he looks a little bit otherwordly but just the right amount. He still has all the features I like about Ami sculpt like very round head, big eyes, small mouth and little button nose, but now he looks more like a loud little ADHD rascal he is meant to be. I think he stole those green glass eyes, so Halla will get new ones. I think I also know now what I want with Halla’s style, so the twins are most definitely back ;3
