Shoe Making

 I'm going to be taking St. Christopher with me to our local ren faire for my birthday this year, and I've been working on an outfit for her. I shall post pictures of the finalized outfit soon enough, but I decided I needed to make her some simple shoes.Initially I wanted to make them to be tall boots (hence the first two pictures), but decided I really liked them as booties instead.

And the finished product! They're very simple, but I like that. I used the lace that is present in other parts of the outfit, and the brown felt will work well with the theme (Sort of wood elf/fairy). I do need to make some additional tweaks to the outfit and perhaps make her some wings, but I'm undecided on that yet.

Dolly Haul Part 2

 Some of the items I've been waiting on arrived, though I have to admit I'm most excited about the eyes. There's just something about doll eyes that can make or break things. The whole "eyes are the window to the soul" adage is quite accurate. These ones are originally from Ersa Flora, though I bought them second hand. The seller shipped them in the most adorable package (box pictured below) which is perfect as I can store them in there for now. They are even better than I imagined they would be. I wanted somewhat bright brown eyes, and these fit the bill exactly. Pictures don't do them justice really, but they are awesome.

Shoes! The pink shoes are adorable, and I think they'll work well for both the lolita outfit and the lacey white one.

These ones are also quite cute, and given the price I can definitely see getting more!

Incoming Items

Here are a few things in the mail  for the new girl.

 Ersa Flora Sienna Gradient Eyes

Not actually purchased off Ebay (DoA instead), but I saved this photo of them. I want the new girl to have brown eyes, but I always struggle finding the right kind of brown eyes. More often than not brown eyes are too dark, and end up looking more like black. They can also be very dark in the eye wells, giving more of the "doll" look rather than something slightly more realistic. So these seem to be a good approximation, with sort of built-in highlights.

Beach Brown wig from Funnylori

I am in the midst of making a wig for the new girl as well (more on that later), but I wanted to have something on hand and also for variety. I picture her with a brown/white wig, which is what I am also crafting. I love Funnylori's wigs, and I could own at least one for every doll I have. This one may be a bit challenging due to the fur style, though I have owned similar furs from her in the past. So I think it will work out.

 Yellow Flats from Mint on Card Inc

I have the lovely yellow dress from anekochansdollies, and it seems to require yellow shoes. Plus, I have pretty much nothing the new girl can share shoe-wise with the boys, so I will be getting her several pairs as time goes on. 

Pink Dollzone Shoes from Mint on Card Inc

These were also from MoC, though they are now sold out. I wanted to have some shoes that would match the pink lolita dress from anekochansdollies, and also the mori set. These probably work better for the former, but the latter does have some pink as well.

30 Day BJD Challenge- Day 12

12). Dollie shoes!  Show us how many you have!

For someone who loves her own shoes very much, I have surprisingly few doll shoes.  In fact, Uri really only has two pairs he wears somewhat regularly.

He has this pair of pseudo converse in black.

And my very favorite boots of his, the super goth platforms.

Arashi is the only other one with nice shoes, but they are pretty awesome.  They are sort of like New Rock boots, and this pair has red metallic flames.  Some of my favorite shoes, dolly or otherwise.
