Get The Look: Hipster Blair Edition (MSD)

It's been aaaaages since I last made a GTL post. Gah! I'm sorry. Please accept my offering of a hipster Blair as an apology?

I was getting bored of Blair's usual cutesy mori girl look, so I raided her box of clothes and put together this ensemble. Didn't think hobo-hipster chic would suit her lol! I love it on her now, despite how different she looks form her usual self. ^^

And now I want to get her more pants/leggings. :\

Get the Look: January Warmth (MSD)

Recently, I've been blabbering to my friends about Blair's style evolution. I've begun to take a liking in dressing her in more casual clothes. They're still quite mori actually, because of the vintage and flower motifs in most of her apparel, but I think she won't be dressing strictly in mori kei from now on. ^u^

Get the Look: Chocolate Almond Truffles (SD)

Here's a cool coordinate for SD boys that reminds me of chocolate truffles. Haha, who would have thought that layering jackets would look chic? I guess it depends on the person wearing it. Ah well, I'm pretty sure your doll can carry the look. ;)

I should do looks for guys more often. It's a lot easier! XD

Get the Look: Spring Parfait (MSD)

Summer is about to end over here in the Philippines, but the rainy season doesn't always bring an end to the heat when you live in a tropical country. Hello humidity!

Having a parfait is a nice way to cool down during this season. It's not too cold unlike a sundae, but it's still refreshing. This coordinate reminds me of a parfait. It will keep you covered enough when it rains, but it's still quite breezy. And though in reality dolls don't feel the change in weather, we like to pretend that they do anyway, right? ;)

Get the Look: Strawberry Chocolate Tiramisu (MSD)

I've been really into neutrals and earth tones recently. It makes outfits look laid-back, comfy and effortless. But it can look quite boring, so adding a pop of color would certainly bring an outfit to life!

This outfit from Sechuna is a very cute example. I couldn't resist trying to recreate this for dolls!

Get the Look: Raspberry Vanilla Cupcake (MSD)

One of my favorite things in the BJD hobby is shopping for clothes and accessories. Sometimes, I see a great outfit on a real person or a pretty color palette from a photo, I get inspired to achieve the look and style of it.

So, without further adieu, here is the first look!

Hope you guys like it! ^^

Get the Look: American Horror Story (SD)

I am crazy obsessed with American Horror Story: Coven right now. It's so weird, gross and crazy in a really good way. XD Other than the awesome witchy goodness, what draws me even more to the show is the fashion the actresses sport!

So here's my take on the show's modern gothic glamor, tailored specially for SD girls. Wearing an all-black ensemble has never looked so bewitching. ;)

3. Retro Shades: Black Frame Glasses from Alice's Collections, $12

10. Socks: Cotton Knee Socks from Dollmore, $3

Out of all my Kpop biases, the most fashionable one has to be JYJ's Kim Jaejoong. The man can dress in a sack and still look good. Thankfully, that hasn't happened since he is always dressed nicely. I am partial to his more laid-back looks though, like the one pictured below. ^u^

The breakdown of the outfits for our dear resin men can be found at the end of the post.
Hope you guys find this useful!

Get the Look: Beastly God (SD)

Today is the birthday of my biggest Kpop bias, Son Dongwoon of BEAST! I have been wanting to have a reason to post this flawless being on my blog, but I never had one until now. I've always loved this photo shoot of his, and I thought it would make a nice inspiration for a Get that Look post. It's simple, but quite trendy and stylish. Hope you and your resin boys like it!

Interview With Fairytales Treasures

Hello everyone! We are here for a new edition of the interview. This month I had the pleasure to talk toElisabeth and Cristelle, the french artists behind Fairytales Treasures Dolls & Sewing atelier! I must thank them for all the answers and the time given to this interview. As always, the interview is in English and Spanish, but this time you will find detailed which one of the sisters answered!

Hope you will love the interview :3

Hello! Nice to meet you and thank you so much for doing this interview! N&K: Thank you very much, happy to meet you so ^w^!

¡Hola! Un placer conocerlas, y muchas gracias por hacer esta entrevista. N&K: Muchas gracias, ¡encantadas de conocerte ^w^!

LilyMoon & LalaMoon ready to be sorted out. Pic by Fairytales Treasures.

Since you are two lovely girls working together, how did you found the BJD hobby? How did you decided to start working together? K: We have met the BJD for the first time in 2005. It was at the Japan Expo in Paris, a few BJD were presented and we fell in love with these special dolls (and giant too! It was SD ^ ^) N: We are two sisters very fusional, we operate as twins, therefore we do almost everything together since we were kids. Working every 2 were so natural and obvious to us.

Dado que ustedes son dos chicas trabjando juntas ¿cómo conocieron el hobby de las BJD? ¿Cómo decidieron comenzar a trabajar juntas? K: conocimos a las BJD por primera vez en el año 2005. Fue en la Japan Expo en París, donde unas pocas BJD fueron presentadas, y nos enamoramos estas especiales muñecas (¡Y también gigantes! Eran unas SD ^^). N: Somos dos hermanas muy unidas, operamos como gemelas, así que hacemos casi todo juntas desde que éramos niñas. Trabajar juntas era natural y obvio para nosotras.

Do you have any workspace where you do everything? N & K: Yes! We are very fortunate to have at home a workshop dedicated to the sewing (the walls are filled with shelves of fabric!) and sculpture (and also many other things because we love to create and test new things). Besides our friends call our workshop " the treasures cave " XD

¿Tienen algún lugar de trabajo donde hacen todo? N&K: ¡Sí! Somos muy afortunadas de tener un espacio de trabajo en la casa, dedicado a coser (¡las paredes están repletas de estanterías con tela!) y a la escultura (y muchas otras cosas también porque amamos crear e intentar cosas nuevas). Además, algunos amigos han nombrado a nuestro estudio como “la cueva de los tesoros” xD

You recently started doing some gorgeous dolls, would you like to tell us about that a little?  N & K: Yes, absolutely! This is a project that trotted into our heads for a while. In fact, we draw from all small and we sculpt figures for almost 10 years. Gradually, with our own BJD, we attempted changes increasingly sophisticated, so we learn to master the tools related to the creation of articulated dolls (which is quite different static figures anyway). When we felt we finally ready, we have taken the plunge and tried it! And the worst is that there is a taste ^ ^

Recientemente comenzaron a hacer unas hermosas muñecas. ¿Les gustaría contarnos un poco sobre ellas? N & K: ¡Sí, absolutamente! Este es un proyecto que ha dado vueltas en nuestras cabezas por un tiempo. De hecho, dibujabamos desde pequeñas y hemos modelado figuras por casi 10 años. Gradualmente, teniendo nuestras propias BJD, intentamos cambios incrementalmente más sofisticados, para aprender a controlar las herramientas relacionadas con la creación de muñecas articuladas (que es muy diferente de las figuras estáticas). Cuando sentimos que estábamos finalmente listas ¡lo hemos intentado! Y lo mejor es que tenemos bastantes seguidores.

Do you have plans for making a bigger pre-order or setting up a store? N & K: We are in the process of setting up a website to facilitate the purchase of our dolls (for the time it passed through the blog, but from now we have 5 different models and it’s not manageable by the blog). For now, we prefer to make preorders in limited quantities, but regularly for a management issue because we are only two to prepare all the orders of our customers and it takes a lot of work! By cons, we can make special preorders, upon request, as long as there is a minimum of 20 orders, it is possible.

¿Tienen planes de hacer una pre-order grande o comenzar una tienda? N & K: Estamos en el proceso de armar un sitio web para facilitar la compra de nuestras muñecas (tiempo atrás era a través del blog, pero ahora tenemos 5 modelos diferente y ya no es manejable a través del blog). Por ahora, preferimos hacer pre-orders en cantidades limitadas, pero regularmente, debido a un problema de administración dado que sólo somos dos para preparar todas las órdenes para nuestros clientes, ¡y eso lleva mucho trabajo! Para las convenciones podemos hacer pre-orders especiales, bajo pedido, mientras que haya un mínimo de 20 encargues, como mínimo.

Besides the dolls, you also make some stunning outfits, and a lot of steampunk-themed ones. How do you started working on this? What kind of fabrics and designs do you like more? N & K: Thank you very much! We love to sew and create unique things! Steampunk is a world that we like a lot, very rich and "cultivated". I don’t really know how we arrived in this specific area know, but it is a very creative and vast universe, and corresponds to our tastes and our culture (we love Jules Verne and all inventors in the beginning of the century!) . This is a middle of exceptional inventors and creators, even brilliant, and at the same time there is the elegance and class of that time, for both men and women. It is very rich and wide!

Además de las muñecas, ambas hacen unos hermosos trajes, y muchos de ellos con temática steampunk. ¿Cómo comenzaron a trabajar en esto? ¿Qué clase de telas y diseños son los que más les gustan? N & K: ¡Muchas gracias! ¡Amamos coser y crear cosas nuevas y únicas! Steampunk es un mundo que nos gusta mucho, muy rico y “cultivado”. Realmente no se cómo llegamos a esta área en particular, pero es un universo muy basto y creativo, y se corresponde con nuestros gustos y cultura (adoramos a Julio Verne ¡y a todos los inventores de principios del siglo pasado!). Este es un medio de inventores y creadores excepcionales, incluso brillantes, y al mismo tiempo está la elegancia y clase del tiempo, tanto para hombres y mujeres. ¡Es muy rico y amplio!

Cerisedolls Lyse with Fairytales Treasures custom fullset.

This is a free space, anything else you want to share with us? N & K: We love working for the people, see our custom to taste each doll is really a nice reward for our work. We hope to continue for a long time to create pretty things for you!

Este es un espacio libre ¿algo más que les gustaría compartir con nosotros? N & K: Adoramos trabajar para las personas, ver nuestras personalizaciones en cada muñeca es una linda recompensa para nuestro trabajo. ¡Esperamos poder continuar por un largo tiempo creando cosas bonitas para todos!

Thank you so much for doing this interview! N & K: Thank you to you!

¡Muchas gracias por hacer esta entrevista! N & K: ¡Gracias a tí también!

[В ПРОЦЕССЕ] Прима. Основа почти готова.

Итак, что имеем на сегодняшний день. Болванка практически готова. Но это еще не конец, это еще только самое начало. Модель загрунтовала, теперь моя Прима обсидиановая мулатка) Идеально отшлифовывать и выглаживать не стала специально, так как  данная модель, по сути, лишь болванка, поверх которой уже и будет лепиться настоящая кукла.

Прима. Картинки с рабочего стола.

Давненько не показывались, а процесс между тем идет.

Interview With Lumedoll

Hello! I'm sorry for being so late in the day posting the interview, but I had a lot to get done before taking my time on the computer. So, this month interview is with a non-asian BJD artist, and she is Eva Wilson, from USA, creator of the gorgeous Lumedoll! Here is the interview, in english and spanish. Some pics are owner-photos, used with permission.

Hello! Thanks so much for doing this interview :3 It's a pleasure, thank you.

¡Hola! Muchas gracias por hacer esta entrevista :3 Es un placer, gracias.

Оооочень много видео процесса лепки куклы. Можно почерпнуть полезное для себя.

Мейк-ап бжд куклы Лив Тайлер

[В ПРОЦЕССЕ] Прима. Картинки с рабочего стола

Итак, промежуточное фото моей Примы. Грудь перелепила. Потихоньку начинает вырисовываться силуэт. Работы еще, конечно, непочатый край >_<

[ВДОХНОВЕНИЕ] Diget и Dara.

Souldoll всегда радовал меня своими творениями. В этот раз покорил мое существо великолепными киборгами Diget и Dara.

[В ПРОЦЕССЕ] Прима. Прогресс

Итак, постепенно болванки приобретают более ли менее "человеческий " вид. Ножки обрастают мышцами и прочими деталями. Появились ручки (пока что соломинки)).

[МАСТЕР-КЛАСС] Утепляемся. Делаем сапоги

Эти совсем простые в изготовлении сапожки на куклу до тридцати см. сможет сделать для своей куколки даже начинающий сапожник. Приступим?

[В ПРОЦЕССЕ] Прима. Картинки с рабочего стола

Это еще только "болванки". Основа, поверх которой и будут вылепливаться формы, мышцы...сама кукла. Ножки пока что в виде палочек-сосисек)

 

[В ПРОЦЕССЕ] Allein

В дни некоторых душевных переживаний возник у меня образ данной куклы. Схематично набросала ее суть. Осталось воплотить.

[ВДОХНОВЕНИЕ] Один из образов Карины...

Обожаю молд Carina от Iplehouse.
В интернете нашла просто потрясающие фотографии (автора, к сожалению, не знаю). Настолько живая и атмосферная фотосессия!

Приветствую!

Итак, собравшись с мыслями и духом, решила создать данный блог, посвященный моей любви к необыкновенным созданиям, живым и прекрасным - Куклам.
Здесь будут публиковаться процессы моего кукольного пути: наброски, схемы, процесс работы по созданию кукол. А также фотографии, работы других авторов, вдохновляющие или просто покорившие мое сердце. Добро пожаловать в мой кукольный мир!
