Merry Doll Round Olathe very much needs a new faceup, but since she has SOME faceup it’s not at the top of my list, haha. She’s lovely though! I put her on an old Angel Philia body which matches surprisingly well, but fell over into 5 pieces immediately after taking this photo, haha.
I was really jazzed about the skeleton event heads from Fairyland – older sculpts! But skeletons! I have wanted a Woosoo for a while and skeleton Woosoo is the coolest one possible. I bought the head off someone and was prepared to watch for a WS SD body for a while, but the head was actually shockingly small. I’ve heard people say that the F60 Lookback heads were small, but they weren’t kidding! With Woosoo’s already small face, this doll is in proportion with MSDs, not any of my other SDs. I put the head on the WS 50cm Dream Valley body I’ve had for a while and it looks surprisingly good.

Zeri’s sculpt is SO cute, even with just some pencils for a faceup she looks nice.
I moved and haven’t done much doll stuff, but while I’m here here’s some pictures I took of Meefa in the new yard today!

( 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!
( 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.

WIP sleeping Soony ( April 30 2022 )
So, in May I attended PNW BJD Expo and did a faceup presentation/demo. For that I took exhaustive step by step photos of the faceup on my Megu and made a whole Powerpoint presentation on it. You can read it if you want! But be warned that the notes are speaker notes and not proofread at all, haha.

Airbrushed Minifee Soony on Dream Valley body WIP shots! (March/April 2022) My airbrush was exceptionally well-behaved for this one.
This DV body B4-11 was the darker event color (Coffee) from August 2021. Different people got very different colors out of that event. Mine is pretty dark, more similar to Iplehouse’s light brown than the tan shades I saw some other people receive. That’s why I took the comparison photo.
Resin comparison: Rosenlied WS, Dream Valley white, Resinsoul NS, Fairyland NS (2020), Dream Valley Yellow (2021), Fairyland Tan (~2016 and greened), Serenade Doll Tan (older, environmental resin… bought some parts from them in 2022 and they were the same color but opaque?), Dream Valley Coffee (2022), Iplehouse Light Brown
Experiments in external flash (March 14 2022)
I got a nice camera and lens lot on eBay so I ran aorund my room taking pictures of dolls as they were without any special lighting or anything.

Not having a great time lately, either at the personal, work or global level. Just doing what I can. Working on something I like in the off time is always good, though. Here’s faceup progress on my sleeping Soony. She’s very softly color matched to the DD1 body… I wanted her to be in-between enough that I could use either the DD1 or the Delf/F60 hybrid body if I wanted.
Today’s doll update: finally painted some 1/6 factory heads. I’d done the blushing before (pastel/brush-on sealant on Unoa and gouache on Fashion Royalty) but today I did the rest. Tried using just Acryl Gouache – I like it (it’s basically just very matte acrylic paint) but it dries SO fast. And I’m rusty!
