Went to a mini meet yesterday at the Auburn Botanic Gardens with 4 Lieselottes! We have even more Lieselottes in Sydney so hopefully we can organise an even bigger meet next time.

Initially I had dressed my girls in a style to match the cherry blossoms that are blooming right now, however it was so crowded my motivation to take cherry blossom photos quickly drained away. They were very beautiful though.

In the end I took some photos in a quiet area in the garden, and then again outside the entrance with the camellias.

This was the first version I made. I’m very happy with the colours, they change a bit depending on the angle you are looking at the eyes from, so for example the red colour is only visible from the side and not from the front. However, I wanted to make the dots smaller and neater next time, and the iris lines are almost invisible so I wanted to make those thicker as well:

This was the second version. I tried a few more colours which all came out nicely, but I think the iris lines are a bit too thick this time:

This was the third version. I wanted to try copper coloured dots, I didn’t expect them to be almost invisible in the pink pair. Looks like white is the best after all:

Since the last update I’m improving on getting those pupils in the centre, and I’ve managed to avoid big bubbles (although I still can’t get rid of all the small bubbles).

The white part of the resin I’m using currently yellows pretty quickly, so reducing that will be my next experiment :)

Sakamoto has arrived~

He has a very slim chin/jaw that is even more noticeable in person which surprised me because it makes his head look much smaller than the rest of my girls >.<
He looks a bit better turned to the side since you can see more of his jaw.

I will keep his name because he reminds me of another Sakamoto :3

Somehow several months have passed since my last update, where did the time go!
Went to a doll meet yesterday at Princess Coco, a French Chocolaterie, and met a damselfly :)

Two new Moonteahouse outfits, my first outfits for SD10/SDGr girls :3

This was what the wig looked like before I started to style it. I decided to experiment on this one because it’s fairly straight and I didn’t like the previous style anyway.

I started by wrapping the hair around perm rods, this was the smallest size I could buy at my local supermarket.

Then I dipped it into boiling water for about 5 minutes, using the kitchen tongs to hold the wig in the water.

After taking it out and letting it dry a bit, the first thing I noticed was that the hair near the part at the front no longer sat as flat as before, even though I tried to keep that bit out of the water. I’m not sure how I’m going to flatten it again D=

I was worried the curls wouldn’t take, but after taking out all the rods I found that it turned out too curly XD. In particular the front looks strange and messy, and doesn’t match the parts I’ve left straight.

I tried to loosen the curls by pouring hot water on it. It took maybe only one second to turn it into the photos above, and the results are pretty uneven. Some parts were straightened alot, and some parts were still left very curly. I think it looks nice from the side but not from the front :(

Next time I will leave it in water for less time so it’s not as curly, so that hopefully I don’t have to try to straighten it afterwards.

Saw lots of beautiful dolls again at Smash this year ^^
I brought Carillon and…

(Click for more photos – Part 2)

Baschet, who I just received this morning =)
Will give her a proper introduction soon~

Bought some new eyes for Carillon <3
Although I think I may prefer the look of 16mm’s in her, but the white part is too small and leaves a gap on the sides D=

Happy Easter everyone~
Isn’t the miniature chocolate rabbit adorable, and it’s the perfect size <3

Unfortunately I discovered there’s a deep scratch on her knee, and I have no idea how or when it happened DDDDDX
