The reason I got back into dolls more seriously, a doll I thought I'd never own. JILL!!!
This summer so I made a picnic basket into a carrier for Astilbe, who recently arrived. The fabric is old bed sheets. I made a video for this project too! But I took it down because I was embarassed my my sewing ability lol I've since removed the top part. The pocket wasn't big enough and it's just a little sloppy.
I had fun doing faceups for the first time in a long time because of these two. I really enjoyed it even though neither of them turned out that great. I had to get new paints and brushes, but I'm still using some of the exact same pastel sticks I startd with years ago.
I have two mini mini mini kumyas, but the pink one belongs to Chouquette.
I'm finally decent at a method for painting eyelashes that I'm very happy with. They're very simple but I'm happy with them. For the longest, I was struggling with a way to give Tia tears, I think that sort of pitiful expression is very cute. Well, the last time I painted my Kinoko Juices, I was inspired by the default faceup on Volks's Marie. She has white sparkles on her eyelashes to mimic the art of Rose of Versailles. So I tried it again here! It's very subtle, I want to try it this way for future faceups.
I'm very happy with Tia's faceup but I think Astilbe turned out the best overall. I'm so glad I gave her a mint wig. She's too cute...
They are all too cute... I'm very happy! I'll try to take lots of photos in the future now that they all feel "complete"!
Piercings are also cute!!
Her purse is a little big, but she likes to be prepared.
