Set sail~!

hey guys!! ..so I've been quite busy recently and haven't had time to update or work on Cap'n ;w; that's why he took so long to finish~ (or "polish" since IMO my works constantly a WIP.) Anyway- did you hear me right?! YES!! captain is finally done with!!!!!

Firstly, I finished re-making &sewing his jacket in silk. I made part of it a tailcoat which worked out pretty awesomely!! and then I started to re-attach his chains onto the jacket. I also went over the black part of his shirt with silk.

the jacket was the most tiring thing to do.. I looked at sewing machines the other day though and am going to get one when I have the money! \(^o^)/

so I also went to Hobbycraft finally.. XD 

I brought new fabric for Cap'ns bandanna and he also had more hair added as I thought it looked a bit flat -'w'- (ps: did I tell you I re-done his face? his features are much more striking now!)

after this I attached skull-charms to his jacket, fluff & chains around his boots!

for the back of his jacket I added lace to the shoulders, for more effect from the front. I made a lace bow for the back & added a purple rhinestone in the centre ^.^ also, can you notice? I've started to do gold detailing on the edges of the jacket!

made&added buttons to the jacket (&arms)

(this is when I finished and passed out)

added detailing to captains bandanna!! and created soles on his shoes~ which were painted!

(you can see the diff on the boots if you compare the pic below with the similar one further up)

Captain thinks~ finally you can stop removing my head LOL

views from the front and back! ✨

looks like he's being arrested loool

so!! I can work on my next dolly now! this time I think ill do a artwork before I create it. since its meant to be easier that way? o_O 

I do prefer to create from imagination haha XD 

I shall post with teasers when it's done~

see you!!!! 😘

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!
