Shared, cared

I don't know exactly how this happened, but yes, apparently I own a special-skinned SD boy now too :D No excuses except he is very pretty. His name is Shimral, and he is Hecate's advisor. A demigod representing the night, the darkness and all things logical and cold. He has a brother, Sahitun (my Soom Heliot) who's the day, the sun, the emotion and such. Shimral is by no means evil, but he has difficulties understanding emotions, sexuality and love. He is the sense if his brother is the sensibility.

Whoops, sorry for the blabber...his doll form is Spiritdoll Dark, by the way.

I first thought that he could have just a casual relationship with his mistress, just because she's a hot lady who likes pretty boys. But as I took this shoot, well, there is definitely lots of everything else involved. Hecate is a complex character full of layers like an onion, but one thing is sure - her heart is very lonely, and there has never been anyone truly in it. Maybe that will change?

The pictures are slightly NSFW in nature so I placed them behind a cut. (Trust me, thanks to Spiritdoll "special parts" they could be much worse though xD).

Winter holidays - random

What a treat - I have a long winter vacation (two weeks, yay) <3 I've spent it mostly by playing Dragon Age: Inquisition though. Damn that game is addicting! I play an elven mage guy who to no one's surprise ended up with Dorian. Dorian is my favourite. Oh come one, a posh Freddie Mercury mage guy, how could you not love him to bits...

Ahem, and back to the actual topic. I've managed to snap some doll photos also during my vacation, so here we go:

I got this wig originally for my Heliot, but no, didn't work out. So I gave it to Krümlen because he has no style sense anyway, and he looks quite cute with it.

Cookie thieves Aegis and Pio!

Aegis' knitted socks. 1.5mm knitting needles / Kid mohair / pattern from here.

And finally some outdoor snaps of Meital. Had to take my chance when we still had some snow + not too cold weather for my DSLR :) I switched her feet to those high heel ones, and now she's very sturdy. Love it!

Now this is a doll-ful start for 2015. Hope to keep this up <3

Happy holidays!

A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all my blog's readers <3 Hopefully you stick around, I should have lots of interesting doll things to show the next year. But meanwhile enjoy the holidays and eat all the chocolate you can. I know what I'll be doing - I'll be stuck in the worlds of Dragon Age: Inquisition and Pokémon Omega Ruby xD

Love,

- E and dolls

An old couple

I asked in Facebook what doll(s) should I photograph today - and got Meital and Kaamos as a result. So here we go, my oldest couple and their current looks. Of course they have changed and developed along the years, but the basics are still there. A tall grumpy demon and something very sweet and innocent which makes his heart melt, although he would never admit it. But we know it, don't we? ;)

There are several photos so they are behind a cut.

Marva (Pipos Ringo) arrived some time ago, and isn't she just the cutest little mint-coloured kitty I've ever seen.

These were taken the very same day she arrived, at our neighbourhood forest. She came with her default stuff sans that big ribbon (I need to make her one!) in a very pretty box. Pipos' stuff is very high quality, and her resin colour is awesome.

And here she's all ready <3 I gave her some extra Soom silicone eyes I had lying around, some new clothing and made her a small "bag". The heart is needlefelted, then decorated with some bling and stuff. She definitely inspires me to create more...and sadly I think she's also asking for a friend. Luckily this violet version of Ringo is sold out :P

The moon goddess

Hecate has a new dress for the winter season. This is basically just a rectangle of green and gold fancy jersey fabric, but I did sew decorations and stuff for months when I had some extra time. So everything is hand-sewn...yep, I know. Inspiration came from Alphonse Mucha and Art Nouveau in general <3 Love those long simple flowy dresses. The materials are mostly sequins and a big moon charm which came from a broken (cheap Chinese) necklace.

Just in case someone wonders how she stands so bravely...there is a saddle-shaped doll stand hidden behind her hems xP I couldn't leave her to stand on her own - Epidia's claw hands have the most delicate fingers that need extra protection. Actually I switch to her regular Supergem female hands when she's not in photos, just because I'm very neurotic. I've broken well enough SD-sized hands to know when to be careful!

Pukifee knitted dresses

Finally this pattern works and looks good - I have no idea why it's always so hard for me to create knitting patterns xD Maybe because it involves counting and stuff...anyway. Here's a couple I've finished:

Kiku is a good model as always. And she looks awesome in brown hair too! Fairyland's tan is such an easy shade, everything looks good with it. I think I'll just keep a stack of random wigs for her since everything works. At least something is easy in this hobby <3

p.s. I'll soon have another little doll in the house to wear these dresses! I've bought a Pipos Ringo in mint resin colour <3

(Photo from Pipos.)

So here's my first anthro BJD, and of course in a pastel shade. I'm very happy to give her a good home: she comes second hand and was looking for a home for a while. I have no big plans for her, except that I want a pair of Oscardoll's eyes for her.

p.p.s. I've been cleaning this blog a little bit: removing entries where photos were broken thanks to Flickr's hiccup and other stuff that's outdated. I'm trying to improve this blog in the future with longer entries and better large photos :)
