Sharkyra's BJD Blog

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...

Well, exactly what the title says. I was commissioned by Roterwolkenvogel to create for her Fashion Grant an outfit similar to the one I made for David, only that hers should be black. I've had the spontaneous idea to add a net part to the upper part of the shirt, so that her Demon would be able to flaunt his tattoos even while being dressed somewhat more. However the net part made sewing complicated. Oh well O____O She also chose a very different kind of fabric that came with small, irregular folds. It really gives a very special touch to the hood :).

I'm working on some outfits for my Kitty Jolie, right now. Since she is a romantic type of Kitty, she'll get some Mori style outfits - and once I'm happy with the design, I plan on making 2 more for sale in LDoll. Also I plan on making some jump suits for her and for MSD as well. They are all the rage here, so why not create some for the dolls as well. It will be a little challenge, given her hip/waist ratio, but it should work. PS: in this photo Melody wears a corset by Raouken and a skirt, hair band and basket by me. PPS: I tried to upload some photos of Melody to the flickr Cerisedolls group, but apparently it doesn't work? Is the group not active anymore? Does anyone know something?

Last Saturday I attended a doll meet in Munich. We weren't that lucky this time with the weather as it was literally pouring with rain most of the time, but luckily there were a few dry spots here and there. It was also a great opportunity to see a Grant Phillippe live, but now I'm not so sure anymore, if he really will be the perfect candidate for my Arjuna-Project? But then again, yes, he has that feminine touch about him that should definitively work.  Oh and did I mention that David had the chance to wear his new outfit? I'm happy that I was able to finish it in time. I actually made a new top and some undies for my RealFee girl in the evening before the meet.   Dollshe Grant Phillippe belongs to Roterwolkenvogel, Dollshe David Kuncci belongs to me, all photos taken by Isi/Hetdansendemeisje.

Ich darf also ganz stolz verkünden: wir haben die sechste Woche und ich habe bisher mindestens 15 Dollfotos gemacht dieses Jahr. Wenn das so weitergeht, wäre ich wirklich zufrieden. :D Hier ist übrigens eines der letzten Fotos die ich gemacht habe: Michelle, die gerade dabei ist, ihren Stil neu zu entdecken. Eigentlich ist Michelle ja eine professionelle Tänzerin und privat sollte sie eigentlich immer Kleidung in diesem Stil tragen. Also viele Röcke, weiche, fließende, stretchige Stoffe, in denen man bequem laufen kann, eher gedämpften und/oder pastellige Farben, etc. Nun ja, wie man sieht, bevorzugt sie doch eher den schrillen Stil ;). For now. Aber ich denke mal längerfristig bekommt sie dann doch andere Klamotten.

This time in SD13/Delf size. I guess I'll bring a couple of them to Lyon, too. If I only knew how to make a proper display for them. And now back to sewing and preparing hats. xD

Ah, it's again Dolpa After Event time. The time when I love to go window shopping at Volks. I'd actually love to be able to get them, only that with my slow internet connection I do not have the slightest chance to win the click wars of the sumika items. So, here's my favorite outfit this time: Black Baccara. I love it: Very cute. I'm pretty sure that this outfit is going to be popular, so I don't think that there will be any rests available via the Volks website. But I like it enough as to keep an open eye for it whether I'll spot in on the marketplaces somewhere. I dream of getting a SDGr Girl some time and this will be her outfit <3. This one is also kind of cute. It reminds me a little bit of those uniforms the carnival clubs here in Germany are wearing. And with the upcoming carnival season this would be a very cute uniform for my SD Kanata xD. Speaking of which, I'd actually wished Volks would one day really recreate some typical Ger...
