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!!!! 😘

|Grey Lenses & Re-tweaking Captain|

I was a but silly as I couldn't find my prescription and ordered wrong lense prescription ;( so now I brought lenses that I can't wear~ and they looks so pretty :( *i tried them on but they gave me a headache*


argh I'm rather annoyed about that >_< I miss wearing lenses but it was my own impatience fault~ damn being blind & going blinder~

Anyways I have been working on the captain in my spare time ^w^

things I edited: 
•re-sew the belts to show more of the waist.
•burned all fraying off.
•painted boots brown.
•made new ENTIRE trousers so the legs are thicker and stitching appears neater! 
•painted detailing on the blue sash. edge detail and writing around the waist.
•painted the nails 
•had to re-do the neck as it broke..
•stuffed body more.
~and still currently re-sewing the entire jacket with black silk~

pictures of the progress so far! :3


sooo much of my time is going Into Captain atm! I have to totally re-do the jacket collar to make it more dramatic~in fact the whole jacket wasn't dramatic enough really~~! I also re-made the cuff kings and plan to add more details so look forwards to finishing that! I'm not going to finish customising him until I feel he is at a standard I can accept. :3 Making every little thing by hand is difficukt!

will update on more progress~sorry for making you wait long~~~

customising Captain!! :D (finally!)

woo~ my circle lenses have been shipped so hopefully get them soon!! ^w^

I feel so tired recently and today I felt really sick ( ꒪Д꒪) I think it's because I forgot to eat.. 

I keep hurting my hand..first I accidentally ripped some skin off with my nail when I opened a packet(damn long nails, but I need them ><) then today I cut my finger on a shelf strip whilst cleaning them x-x imgah I know it's just a little cut but it hurt so much >~<


also my nose/throat have been terrible since I had a cold like 3 months ago lolol. I can breathe out my nose but it feels blocked? and dry >~< hmm why could it be??..

*•*•*•*•*•*

Anyhows!!~ 
I have finally customised the Cap'n ( ^ u ^*)


I made a bandanna (made it look dirty with eyeshadow! :D) and put beads in his hair ♡ looks so much more pirate-y now..!

also I put the bells on his waist !!finallllyyy
(I've felt too lazy to see but my bag broke yesterday so when I fixed that I just want to see everything *^*) I fixed a lump in his leg too lol


you can sorta see the sea-shells I attaché to the waist as well..

also today I added more collar, made fur for the collar, made his arms thicker, attached a chain to his waist and neat-end him up! ^^


ahh! I wanna add more ^_^ I am going to add more to his jacket so it stands to attention more :3

and custom his boots!

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^)/
