Jacqui (katrinastrife) came to visit Jamie (locked_in_ice) and myself while she was home from Boston and that means DOLLY PHOTOSHOOT!!

For those of you without a DoA account, here's the whole set on Flickr. Or you can just download the zip file here.

For my Photoshop class, I had to remake a magazine cover and use my own photo. So because I have so many nice photos from the Holiday meet I decided on the popular doll magazine, Haute Doll. So I decided to share!!

During our little impromptu customization party, I decided to add a little mod to Ana to show more of her love for Sleeping Beauty. So here's her little homage to the Disney princess.

Thank you Jordan/Comicbookartistboi for your beautiful work!!

Made an icon of it, too.



Needed a cute family portrait. =^_^=v

All that's left is the tiara. =^__^=v

Got a lot more done on Ana's Aurora gown. Still need to make the underdress, put snaps on, hem the skirt, make the choker, make the crown... I'm sure there's more. My heard hurts now from this thing, so I'm done for the night. It doesn't fit right because the only thing holding the back together are straight pens. There's a LOT of skirt. A WHOLE LOT of skirt. *dies*

There's a little more done than what's shown in the photo, but you get the idea. =^_^=v

How many tubes of Frey Block will I need to finish Ana's Aurora gown?

Yeah, I started the gown! Got the fabric on the way home at Wal*Mart (Mom needed to go to the bank, anyway) and all they had in a princess-looking fabric in all three colors I needed was a baroque-like satin. My floor is going to be COVERED in purple thread and strings. But she'll look pretty (as usual). I want to get a good chunk of this done before going to back to the "super secret costumes" for Nobu and Kiki. All I have to make are shoes. *twitch* I need to make slippers or something for Ana when she wears this.

Unless... someone knows someone with a pair of white, purple, or black SD sized dressy shoes (preferably purple)? All Ana has are sneakers, baby pink sandals, and her white punk boots. Help, please! Save me from making shoes for her, too!! Then again... my birthday is the same weekend as the EPCOT trip... *Puss in Boots eyes* I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER! And make you something for your doll!! PROMISE!

Time to get back to business... just wanted to pop in and say all this. =^_^=v

I added a few photos from yesterday on my MySpace. You can see them in my ABJD gallery.

Also made the pattern for Ana's Aurora bodice!! YAY! Now just to get the rest of the fabric...

Photo post!!


The twins' new faces!

( And my kids behind the cut! )

Jamie and the girls are coming tomorrow and Nobu was all excited to finally see his sister. Here's what happened (fake cut ahead):

( Photostory 5: Worn Out from the Wait **9 IMAGES** )

No one left any comments or feedback on DoA in the thread about the bikini I made for Ana. I just bumped it and added "**FEEDBACK NEEDED!!**" in the title... maybe they'll come now?

Maybe it wouldn't sell?

Made Ana a swimsuit, and I am thinking about selling similar ones on the site. =^_^=v FEEDBACK PLEASE!

Beautiful fabric was given to me by Jacqui (since Hideto won't need it)!!

Took some photos tonight! I was playing with Ana's hair and wanted to take a photo... then I dressed Nobu and his wig was too cute... then the lighting was cool...

( Just three photos! )

Here's some photos of Ana's new dress I made her and her wig (it came today)! Enjoy!

And here's a little something I picked up for Nobu today. It's 1/6 scale, just like him!



That's all for now! I have Psychology stuff to work on. Ew.

Jordan did her faceup yesterday, and she's SO PRETTY. Stephanie lent me a wig so I could get good photos, too. ♥

So here's my new Elfdoll Lydia, Analiese.



( 6 more... )

I have other photos (mainly of Nobu's new outfit and his first meeting with a certain MNF Shushu), but they will come later.

And for those concerned with the cracks, I heard from Kathy yesterday:

"Hi,

Oh no! Sometimes these things happen in transit.

Please take a couple pictures of the cracks. Send them to me, and I'll send them on to Elfdoll and I would expect they'll send you a new leg part for free.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Poor girl!

Although they are a PAIN to photograph, I'm managing. And I will get them sent to her today. But for now... I eat (I'm actually HUNGRY!).

She came today! So did her phone! And Nobu's clothes from Friends2BMade! I took photos, but I'll post them later.

Only gripe-at the bottom of her right leg there are tiny cracks. After some normal use, the piece most likely will break off (a la the back of Armania's head at the neck). I emailed Kathy about it. But it's so minor, I'm not letting it get to me. Hopefully Stephanie's K came today, too!!

But she's getting her faceup done today! So excited! So I have to decapitate her... =>.>=;; Fun. XP She's sitting here in her bathing suit colorless and BALD (her bathing suit is black, which really doesn't help). But her eyes are a deep blue. Very pretty!

That's all for now. I want to finish Nobu's shirt before Stephen gets here at 2:30. Tata!

She will be shipped out Tuesday! And I just got a phone for her (with the help of Jacqui). So excited!

Again, mainly for my own linkage reasons. =^.^=;;

I just ordered my Elfdoll Lydia (large bust) to help get the store going!! No faceup, but I plan on getting that done at the picnic. In the meantime, I'm making her a surgical mask. But I had to get her a wig, since I need hair on the doll to make the hats fit correctly. So I got her this one in "light peachy blonde with ginger brown highlights." She's staying in her bathing suit until I can make her a simple outfit.

Speaking of the picnic, it's getting more people now! I think we are at 13ish. And Nobu may be getting a tattoo... maybe. Since Ana will be getting her faceup I will have to see how much the tattoo would be. If I do, it would be this on his arm:

The kanji is "Honoo," which is "flame."

Can't wait to get my children!
