Sharkyra's BJD Blog

Long time no post, what can I say - except that I have been very busy at the end of the year. First came the preparations for LDoll, then the stress at the end of the year with a heavy flu, but now things are starting to get back to normal and I hope that I'll be able to share more doll stuff in the coming days. Today for instance I worked on some ballet dancing shoes that I bought from Dollmore during the LDoll festival. Because to get proper doll items it does not always make sense to create them completely from scratch. Sometimes there is also the option to alter existing products to make them work for your needs. I almost always do that with wigs. There is actually hardly a doll wig in my collection that was not restyled at some point 😂. But let's return to the shoes. So I got this lovely pink shoes. As you can see the binding ribbon is wayyyy to large, I mean it's almost human sized! So the first (though scary) thing is to cut them off. I checked if it was p...

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...

Sheepy by Dream Studio I'm so proud of myself :). Why you ask? Simply, because I finally managed to paint and assemble the little toys I got as extra presents with my Dream Studio order. It wasn't that simple to finish them, as it was to complete the furniture. Partly because these parts are so small and partly because there was some extra work included here, like I had to carve the toothpicks a little smaller, since they were too large to enter through the holes in the wheels. But nevermind the extra work. Just look at little Sheepy, isn't he cute? He also has a sister, little Bunny, she's not in the photo though, but I'll soon take a picture of both of them together. >.< And I'm also happy, because I managed to finish the entries 1 and 2 for the Den of Angels triathlon in time and I feel confident, that I should be able to finish the last contest as well. 

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 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...

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.

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?
