Fish goes blob

Fishfish, my custom Monster High Lagoona by jesmo, worked as my model today. Apparently gloss and vinyl are not the best combination as her lips attract dust and dirt like there's no tomorrow. And it's hard, if not almost impossible, to remove, boo. I don't think it's possible to remove her face paint and get her re-painted, so she'll be like this until the end. Well, BJDs and MHs don't really compare anyway if you ask me :P But I still like playing with my two MH girls sometimes, they're fun dolls.



Fishy was the closest doll available for this knitting commission where I was asked to create two hats for Fairyland Chicline. It's fun to knit these small hats, so I thought of adding a couple to my Etsy store too. But which size? I no longer have Lati, so humm, maybe Pocketfairy?

Miss Sparkles

Finally new Monster High dolls here in Finland <3 Okay, not exactly "new" but new to us! I don't love these dolls so much that I'd buy them off Ebay for high prices, but when they come to local toy stores...well, you can guess what has happened ;) I skipped Spectra since she was quite expensive and I'm not 100% sure about her rather horse-like facemold (sorry Spectra fans!), but here's my Gloom Beach Abbey. She's one sparkly girl, love her hands and glittering blue skin.

I'm not sure what I want to do with her. Beforehand I've customized my MHs but there is something about Abbey that she might just as well stay in her stock form. Unless I get some grand idea...

Yay Monster High!

Odd freaks

I was taking quick photos of some knitting commissions and wanted to use the setup (yeah, pulling the curtain of our living room to our sofa is surely a 'setup' *eyeroll) to snap some other random shots. Here's Haura with a custom My Little Pony by my mate Illves. They are both zombie-like characters with grey and scary combined with pastel colours, glitter and cute :P

Monsters, monsters, so bizarre

Even though mine are not monsters but sylphs...





I finished her outfit today, go me! Everything is sewn by hand. Her corset is fully lined, I totally ruined the first version by using wrong kinds of fabrics which just would not turn without ripping. Oh well, the second try is much better even though it's still bulky, I guess you just won't get anything better in this size. Lagoona's shoes work surprisingly well with her, yes?

And where did I get Lagoona's shoes? Oh well...



"Whoops." She'll get repainted, naturally, and especially since she has a factory flaw in her makeup anyway. I might keep her hair as I like it, I'll just have to come up with a perfect hairdo. She'll become Fishfish, Haura's strange girlfriend who just gushes all the time rather than speaking.

A fragile rose

Project Haura advances, I chopped her hair away with scissors - damn, it was relaxing, no wonder kids always hack away their Barbies' hair. Don't worry, I replaced it with a wig I randomly found from Ebay. I think it needs some crazy decorations such as huge butterflies or birds, like those wigs from rococo France. Maybe her outfits should follow that theme, even if sewings those garments in that size should be at least interesting.

p.s. Pieni loppukaneetti suomeksi: jos joku bongaa Monster High - sarjan Spectraa tai Abbeyta täällä myynnissä niin kertokoon heti! Nykyisistä tytöistä ainoastaan Lagoona enää kutkuttelee ja saatanpa ostaakin sen ensi palkkapäivänä kun on vähän kalliimpi, mutta Spectra ja Abbey on pakko saada ;3; Hiton addiktoivia nukkeja...

Haura (MH Ghoulia)

So it seems I've also fallen for Monster High dolls as I just had to pick up Ghoulia yesterday. Their body shape and hands are just adorable! They remind me of faeries / sylphs, so I wanted to turn Ghoulia into a dream faerie. Her name is Haura. I'm still thinking if I should switch her hair for a wig (I have no patience to reroot anything). And she needs a proper outfit, her current one is just some random fabric scraps put together.

I kinda want more now, oh well - luckily these are not as expensive as BJDs AND I can get them from the supermarket nearby :P
