( 20 September 2022 ) I’ve
only done the first layer of Alice’s faceup, but I’ve been super busy
and probably won’t finish her for a while, so I put her back together so
that she’s less unnerving to have hanging around. Better than blank at
least! I’m going for a Heather Silent Hill 3 vibe with her faceup.
You ever get an outfit
that’s so good it instantly makes the whole doll click for you? I
commissioned Jeanette Means on FB for a slinky white femme fatale look
for my Soony/DD1 hybrid and she absolutely knocked it out of the park!
( 17 August 2022 ) Meefa needs some repairs but I still played a little dressup.
(August 17 2022 ) TV_Head is an amazing stander and fun to dress
( 15 August 2022 ) My two newest…. the super cool TV_Head from @rap1993 at Resin Rose and the lovely and ethereal Shinydoll Meefa! An odd pair for sure. I used my Instax mini printer to print the screen for TV_Head though I need to photoshop a version in the right aspect ratio.

It’s a photo dump from the Resin Rose 2022 expo hall! I am really bad at taking photos at events so it’s mostly
the contest entries (that were still there on the final day) but hey
it’s some record that I was there. I had a great time!

More Kui Ning because she’s so pretty ( 16 June 2022 )
( 16 June 2022 ) Small Soonies all together!
( 16 June 2022 ) Fiiiiinally got this
girl together! She’s been in progress forever. I got a second Minifee
Soony head last summer because I really wanted to do up a darker-skinned
Soony. I went through a few bodies before deciding that I liked this
one best. It’s the Dream Valley B4-11 body in the limited Chocolate
resin (although from what I saw, some people got a much lighter color
for chocolate =( ). The body has a super long neck with a flare at the
top, so I found that she looked best without the Minifee neck piece. I
was able to use a neck donut from @peachdaydreams
to attach the head (pic in the carousel if you wanted to see how it
works). I also used a kip to pad things. The only downside is that the
neck donut keeps knocking her eye out of place, haha. Her face is
airbrushed and I’m honestly really proud of how much better this attempt
went than my past attempts. Her wig is too big and that makes me sad
but other than that I’m really happy with her!
( 10 June 2022 ) When it rains it pours in terms of doll arrivals, and this girl arrived the same day as Irvin. I ordered her back in January, so the wait was longer than usual for Huajing doll, but that was understandable. She’s a really lovely doll. The company faceup is great, she has nice proportions and her body is easy to pose and well-engineered. The only thing I don’t like is the way her chest is sculpted, haha. It’s very “Michelangelo”.
( 16 June 2022) A grail boy! Irvin is
another one of the dolls I really wanted when I first got into BJDs,
around when he originally came out. He doesn’t come around often and
I’ve missed/lost him when he came out, so I was so excited to snag this
one! He has a broken finger I need to repair but I’m not a perfectionist
about that. I kind of want to add to his faceup though, and take his
eyelashes out since the way they’re installed they’re actually super
long lashes put really far into his head so they point straight down.
Also he really needs a better wig. He’s actually a character of mine
though, this is Bat!
( June 5 2022) After the biggest workout of a sueding job ever, Alice can stand! So
here’s a comparison of Lusion and Otohime. Their proportions are quite
different but not so much that I feel like they can’t hang out.

New friend for Yu-chan arrival! (May 10 2022) Otohime has lots of great features, and I found I really like the size, but Lusion excels at a lot of the things Otohime struggles with (sitting poses especially). I thought I was safe from them but I had never seen the Alice sculpt before! I loooove her, she reminds me of Kid Dollmore Momo with an open mouth so as soon as I knew she existed it was over for me.
