The captains shirt is complete! ★

Hello! I've been working on clothes for the Cap'n!

I stayed up all night yesterday hand stitching all of this shirt ∑(ﾟДﾟ) actually i went to bed at 3am because i got too tired. My back was breaking! I stitched a see-through cream material into the gap with silk ribbon above it, then sewed the ruffles over that. Added a thin cutting of ribbon over the lace on the neck detail and a bow with a pearl in the middle.

 I wanted to finish it but I got this far:

yeah I can't afford a sewing machine so no easy way out for me (￣O￣;)

It came out quite wwell 

I also made some pretty little gloves with bows and a pearl in the middle :3

I lost my other pearl so I used a gold one for the other hand xD 

Finished the shirt a while ago as my sibling came over & distracted me lol

Just need to do the trousers now!! ＼(^o^)／

Kiyo's progress ★

Heyy there! :D

So so far, Kiyo's been given facial features! I tried to make the face more 3d and less flat looking than my last doll..what do you think?

then i smoothed kiyos face out. For Alexander I used one type of sanding paper (not sure what grade because I forgot) anyway, this time I'm using 3 basic types (coarse ,medium and fine) for some reason I find the coarse:medium made it smoother than the fine? There were less scratches..not sure why but it could be the friction I used?

Alexander is hiding until Kiyo is done...

I tried a different painting technique aswell (base coat then layering) made the face less smooth because how the acrylic dries but it's not too bad..

Right, I was impatient last night (being away from working on Kiyo for so long was so frustrating!!) and so I ended up doing the make up, (also applying some hair) -it turned out hideous because of the terrible lighting and I got majorly upset! 。・°°・(＞_＜)・°°・。

(This WASN'T how I wanted it to look.

To me this looks rushed and amateur-like.)

I was upset alll day until I got home from work and I sanded the paint off and re-painted the face.

I am SO pleased with the results, the colours I used were less harsh and brings more attention to the beautiful colours of the eyes and recognises the structure of the face.

I have constructed the body and am waiting for it to dry and be sanded. Kiyo had a little dance ꒰*ゝωꉺ꒱۶♡ *¨*•.¸

I am excited to work in the clothing very much. I promise it will be much detailed *^^*

Goodnight now lovelies before I pass out! ☆

Kiyo Doll is in progress!

Hello!! Guess what guys I received my eyes at last! (Purple ones anyway :-P) soo I'm just going to make Kiyo with these instead of the green~

Here's how small they are! Cute ey? These are 8mm BJD eyes. 

They are smaller than I realised but it's been soooo much easier to work with my doll is coming along so quickly, it's hot weather too which is making the clay dry super fast!

Aww kiyos a little newborn alien at the moment!! Haha

I've already structured the neck ( ^ω^ )

I am so excited to paint the face as I got a new paintbrush! It's the thinnest one I've found. I have to take very good care of it as thin paintbrushes are so easy to accidentally bend and stay a funny shape! Then they are useless!

Alex's mum gave me these beautiful flowers! They are so nice!

Ranmaru model!

In the process of making a Ranmaru Mori figurine atm, i don't know what he will turn out like as this shall be my first attempt at figurine modelling with this air drying clay (not sure if its really good for figurines, maybe paper clay would be better?)

Anyway I finished painting & smoothing his face :D

I got a new paintbrush as well :3 it's really good for fine detail!

Well I thought I may as well do some hair and part of his structure for his torso as he can dry overnight then I can fix him up when I finish work :D

I am quite pleased with how his face turned out!!! :D
