Introducing Sylvia

Whoops, I have yet another new Azone girl to introduce ^^; I don't know how this happens, they just invite themselves over I guess xD Anyway, here is Sylvia, my second Chiika (Little Match Girl version). I split her up with safir so I got just the nude doll.

I could not pass this cutie, because Chiika is my favourite Azone girl AND she has that adorable smile and bob-cut hair. Let's hope Azone won't release any more cute Chiikas so I don't end up with an army :P

In other news, things may not be as active in the dolly front as I started working full time again. I just haven't got much energy for dolls after a long day at work :/ Luckily it does good for my doll budget though xD And yep, I have some new interesting things planned for this year as well <3

The tiniest dress

I knitted this at my parents' home during Christmas and finished it yesterday - a knitted dress for Azone's Pureneemo ^^ I'm quite proud of it, as Picconeemo is the smallest doll in my crew and a challenging size. But this one was a success in the first try and was even rather easy and fun to make, yay!

And as you can see, I've changed Pip's D body into S version :3 I just didn't get along with those huge chibi hands + I think this S body is really pretty. And small of course, but it's part of the charm!

Doll year 2015

So it's 2016, wow, how the time flies. This is a special doll year for me, as this is my tenth year in BJD hobby. I got my first BJD Aegis in June 2006. No wonder I sometimes feel bit old xD But it's all right, I've had a great time and hope to make lots of new interesting things in 2016.

I wanted to post some of the highlights of my doll year 2015, so here we go:

I bought Shimral from my friend in January, just because he is grey and pretty ^^; He has really grown on me, and he's an interesting character. And well, pretty too :D

And I ended up selling my Soom Epidia, in order to replace Hecate later with another sculpt. I really like Soom's SG body, but it ended up just no longer fitting anymore to Hecate's mature character. She's the MOM of my storyline, and Supergem is just too thin and young for this fantastic yet slightly eccetric matriarch. She'll be replaced with a better version of herself once I'm done with another layaway :3

I fell for Azone Pureneemos, and currently I have eight and ninth on the way xD They're, ummm...it's bit hard to explain, but I admit I am quite ambitious with my own BJDs, their stylings and storylines. But Pureneemos for me are just for fun! I just dress them up in cute stuff and let them hang around. Their great purpose is to just be damn cute, and that's just fine <3

I've also bought some anime figures, mostly Nendoroids. I currently have a problem with space though as our apartment is rather small, so I'm trying to keep this thing under control. I have some One-Punch Man stuff coming though xD (I love that series!)

I've attended meetups, big and small, and met lots of nice new people and had a great time! I'm happy about this, since I used to be so shy and timid when I was younger, and I still have nervousness issues in larger crowds. So if you spot me babbling non-stop, it's usually because I'm so nervous and trying to hide it - just tell me to stop xD But luckily people have been and will be so nice, and I've had a great time ;3; I'm really waiting for summer and outdoor picnics with you all!

I've traveled and spent of course time with the dearest person in my life, my gentle and loving husband <3 He's not personally into dolls, but he supports and helps me a lot behind the scenes. Thank you and sorry there are so many ;_;

I used to draw a lot when I was younger. I just sort of...forgot it, but now I've picked up the pencil again. And installed my tablet and some software again xD; So there probably will be more stuff like this in the future!

And the last doll purchase of 2015! The layaway is still going on, but it's no secret I've ordered this lovely boy from Peak's Woods ;3; Well, he has pastel skin, pouty mouth, squinty eyes...yeah. It will take a while to pay him up, but I'm looking forward to it <3 He will be called Ashja, and he'll be Shimral's little brother, well, sort of. More pastel boys, yay!

Whew, that was mostly it, what a fun year it's been! Thanks for following my silly doll things and Happy New Year everyone! <3

- E and crew

Here in this together

My friend asked me if I could take some photos of Kaamos and Meital sleeping in the same bed, awww! I want to, but before that I should make some sleepwear for uncle K and make a bed prop. I think it's a sweet idea, though <3

But I did take some romantic photos today of my old couple. I wanted to take more, but the light just vanished somewhere...damn the winter! Anyway, here's some Meital and Kaamos:

Ehm, sorry about that silly star censorship xD; I don't really like posting doll nudity in public where they are "in character" :x Even though Sadol's body is very pretty.

To be honest, as I looked through the photos on my computer, I realized that the candlebra was maybe a bad idea. Oh well, it's too late now xP

But hey, Kaamos has these cool duck slippers he wears at home xD I think they're a birthday gift from Meital. Quack quack!

Glitterfingers!

Whoops, forgot to post these here as well xD; I did a customization project and painted Shimral's fingers with various nail art glitters and gloss.

Actually it wasn't as simple as I thought xD; Those large flakes had to be individually attached with a small brush as they just floated around otherwise, and these took about four layers of gloss. But I like the result! I thought that as Shimral's character is a mage, he has a bad habit of handling magical items with his bare hands xD Tsk tsk.

And Liduse got a new again again through a trade. It's Leeke's Pale Turquoise, and it fits her very well...just like all pastel colours. Luckily I just got rid of most of my extra doll wigs, so I can hoard more :D

Happy holidays to all my readers <3 I originally wanted to make something Christmassy here as well, but I've been sick, busy with my job and there is a depressing, dark weather outside with no snow :< But maybe my pastel dolls will sparkle enough for Christmas? xD

Christmas girl

I picked up my Otogi no Kuni Nina from the post office yesterday <3 She's super cute! I had no time nor energy to document her arrival very well, but you can look at Sherimi's blog post if you want to see more how these releases look like :3 Nina is very similar. The extra hands are a nice bonus - and useful as I almost broke her other default hand while removing it >_> Azone XS hands are really fragile :( I don't think I'll ever touch them again unless absolutely needed xD

But here she is! Cute and somehow very Christmas-like <3 (Must be the colour of her dress.) I named her Siru which means "Chip" in Finnish, because she's quite small. Siru was also the official name of our mouse baby which passed away, so I thought I could use that name as a memory <3 (Yeah, I'm bit sentimental like this...)

I'll see what I can come up with Siru! I really like her default style, but of course she could always use for more stuff...

Dusty old rose

Whoops, I forgot to post my recent Shimral photos here. Let me fix that!

I really like this boy <3 Spiritdoll's Proud body is so nice; I love the contrast it brings to his pastel hair and maybe slightly feminine face xD And hey, grey resin and pink hair...it's an awesome combo. I tried grey and black wigs on him, and it was just too dark.

He could use some body blushing (I ordered materials to make something bit different and SPARKLY) and a new wig - I love this one, but alas, it's bit too small for Spiritdoll's larger head and stays on with violence and a prayer xD Projects ahead!
