Am I there yet?

Yern with mohair wig

There’s a double meaning in the title today. As it is the time of much traveling and we have heard our kids say “are we there yet?” But also in my face-up practicing. The latest is the above Lati Blue Yern. She actually had a very beautiful face-up from her previous owner. But I really intended on getting a blank Yern from Latidoll and then this one came up in the secondary market so I grabbed it and was excited I wouldn’t have to wait most likely 2 months for one from Latidoll to arrive. Also the make-up was a lot more dramatic and I prefer subtle natural “nude” face-ups. So here she is and I’m really happy with it.

Finally, I decided to finish Miel. I had originally started with redoing her eye-brows because the default had way too much criss crossness going on and too bushy. Miel is portrayed as a boy doll for Lati but many like to make him a girl. The renewal bodies are genderless anyway. Then I decided to take off the rest of her make-up and managed to leave the new eye-brows in tact. So here she is and I’m so happy I went all the way and redid her.

Happy 4th of July for us in America and for the rest of the world, Have a great weekend!

No turning back

Hello

All this time I’ve been known for my love for Momokos and have re-rooted so many of these girls. So I feel a little guilty each time I sell another to fund yet another resin purchase but there’s no turning back. I’m truly hooked on Asian ball-jointed dolls and the choices are many. I’ve let go of quite a few momokos and am down to 13. Meanwhile my resin kids are multiplying. I think I’m up to 12 but half of those are Lati yellows and those are small,(actually shorter than a momoko,) This latest girl is Domadoll Okja. Her story is so cute and irresistible that I had to have her. She stand just a little taller than a Momoko but completely different proportions. I just love her sass and her rubenesque body.

Now here’s an experiment I had fun with. I had a Bobobie Erin that I got for the body but then didn’t need her body so I took her apart and put her in rit dye and now she’s this little green girl. Not perfect but pretty cute I think.
Take me to your leader

Knee deep

can i keep her???

Where to begin? It’s been some time since I’ve updated. I’ve been knee deep in trying to get some dolls ready for IFDC at the end of July. But here’s a recent custom. Another gothy type girl for a customer who desperately wanted her own goth girl after seeing the other 2 I did recently.

My Lati babies finally arrived after 2 months since ordering them and then I added 2 more on top of that so now I have 6 yellows. I think I’ll stop there for now. They’ve restocked too so I could get a Lami but I don’t feel I need her. I’ve reached my saturation point with six so unless I let one go I won’t be getting her anytime soon.

So, after getting the other bebes with Lati’s default make-up I finally decided to redo my Lea. I had originally done her to be similar to the company’s default because that’s what I liked at the time but now after seeing some more face-ups from other artists, I wanted to put my own touch to her. I LOVE the results and I don’t think I’ll ever order a basic doll with make-up now that my skills are improving. Also pictured is my Luts KD Bory who ended up getting repainted as well. Now I’m happy with them and can stop fussing over what I didn’t like before.

It’s hard to catch the subtlety of Bory’s brows and they look better in person than this picture. I just want to keeping going at it with doing these resin beauties make-up but I unless I redo every doll I have I’m out of dolls to do. I’ll take more pictures of these cuties tomorrow but untill then I must get back to finishing my dolls for the convention.

Till next time!
