Millinery Designs

I have a fascination with hats. I can only wear certain kinds--my head shape is all wrong for many. However, through my dolls I can make and wear any kind I want. So far I have only created ladies' top hats in a Victorian or steampunk style. I'll start with my first which is on sale on the DOA forums. I called it the Ianthe.

I love this pose. Very Michael Jackson.

The second hat I made was much simpler. I took some hot pink tulle and painted it black, then went with a steampunk vibe with the gears near the back as embellishments.

The third and final hat I made was for a steampunk swap on the boards. It's my favorite in a lot of ways, but it was given to my partner in the swap. I did manage to get these pictures of it before I shipped it.

Kitty Blushing!

After the kitty's box opening, I left her in Rosslyn's hands to body blush. The next day, I began to receive photos texted to me. Isn't she adorable?! And then the eyes were added. I think Rosslyn took these pictures just to torment me. The kitty is being held by a Minifee, to give an idea of scale. I picked up the kitty the very next day and she's been frolicking on my shelves ever since!

The Cloaks Are Finished!

The cloaks I mentioned in the previous post are completely finished and posted on the DoA forums. I loved the pics taken. They make me wish I had a Fairyland Littlefee at home to wear them. So cute! Here are Rosslyn's dolls Stella and Scythe modeling the various cloaks: Overall, I'm very pleased with how they came out! If you would like to purchase one, go here .

Briar's Outing with Pip

Rosslyn and I decided to go visiting a few stores and for this trip, we took the pukipukis with us. OUr first stop was Toys 'R Us! Briar liked the rabbit hutch and wanted to take home some bunnies. I reminded her she already has five pets at home. This particular dollhouse was fascinating to Pip with it's odd spiraling open door and music (yes, it played music), while Briar wanted to scare the princess. And we hit the Barbie section! Pip and Briar found no shortage of dolls their size and tried to join them. It didn't quite work with the "I Love Lucy" dolls... But they more than rocked it with "Charlie's Angels". I think this was my favorite pic from the whole trip. From Toys 'R Us we went to World Market and enjoyed the imported and antiques. I'm still not really sure what it is that Pip is hiding in. Popping out of lanterns. Ph the jokes about the toilet candy...Briar thinks they stink. LLAMA!! Llama llama...
