* Project Runway Challenge #2~ The Unconventional Steampunk!, Part I

-
Since I had the urge to participate in this month's Project Runway Challenge I thought I'do some sort of Halloween Steampunk. So basically my idea was a pumpkin dress (that would be a dress, where the lower part is like a balloon skirt, yet slightly reminiscent of a pumpkin in shape), with a top hat (or something similar) and a lovely magician's cloak.
So last week I went shopping and bought some lovely silk-like material in pink-orange for the dress and some darker red-brownish cloth for the cloak.
I've already started the dress and finished the hardest part, the top of the dress. I feel pretty confident that the rest of the dress is gonna be a breeze!

As you can see from the picture I prefer to sew a big part of the doll outfits by hand. Until now I haven't figured out, how to get the little details precisely done with the sewing machine, so I rather work a little bit slower and get my seams exactly where I want them to be ^__~

Chibbi Newt Preorder

Since there is currently a preorder for the Chibi version of Newt, I thought I'd share a picture of my (original sized) Newt. I really like this kitty a lot, however, I think I do have to change something about her style. She might need another, more dramatic face-up I think. I don't have any clues though what exactly I'd love for her. Maybe for a change I should try myself at changing (or improving) her face-up. If everything fails, I can still send her away for a more professional face-up. And, of course, I also need the Chibi Version of her :D.

So the reasons why there weren't any new posts in this blog in the last weeks was that I dedicated every free minute to the challenges in the DoA triathlon. Now that the triathlon is finally over and the winners were announced, I'll happily show you my creations and tell you a little bit about it, too. The doll I choose to be my model in this challenge was Naoumie, my Withdoll Emma. Her tan skin forms such a nice contrast to the transparent/white parts of her outfit. The idea with the goldfish bowl was literally the first idea I had. I knew that I had to make this on a low budget (I spent too much money on dolls lately and refused to buy more stuff), so I looked around for transparent plastic items that I could use and I came across those little plastic bowls. The one she's wearing as a head decoration /fascinator. I have three of them and I bought them a couple of years ago (I think they were filled with fruit pudding), just because I thought that they'd make n

  So, let's start from the beginning. First we will need a new wig for Semi. While I really do love her colourful old one, it's really time for something new, something to go well with her new, more romantic look. At first I thought that maybe a short, bob style would be nice, but then I settled on a type of wig that would better accentuate her pear shaped body, by basically repeating that shape.  Yup, I think that's the new look we're going for.  EDIT: And we already found one to match the criteria. It's a little bit too large on her head, but otherwise it's the perfect length and volume. The ears should be able to keep it in place just fine.
