* 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 ^__~

Baby Delf Rose (normal skin) for sale $300

I'm selling this little adorable cutie, because unfortunately she doesn't fit within my doll plans. Back when I got her, I intended to hybridize her with my Crobidoll Thor head, however the resin color doesn't match unfortunately and I don't want to do large blushings on neither body or head. The beautiful face-up on her was painted by Nihil and is in great condition - as is actually the whole doll. She was kept in her box most of the time and displayed only shortly in my glass cabinet. She has no yellowing, no damage or anything whatsoever. Baby Delf is ap. the same size as the Rosenlied Holiday Children, they do fit the same outfits, however I'd say that the Baby Delf stand a little better on their own. Here is a comparison between Baby Delf (right) and Rosenlied Holiday Child (left): She will come nude with her default eyes (the light green ones from the picture above) and with her CoA. As I got her in the release event, she didn't come with her...

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...

Little Rachel is upset. We're getting her ready for the big meet on Saturday and so she has to wear girl dresses and shoes and we're even styling her wig. She is usually more a tomboy kind of girl and she especially does not love to wear shoes at all, so she's not that happy right now.
