The Other Thing...

That I am absolutely bursting with excitement about, is that my twin peacock girls (they aren't really twins, but still) are coming home soon!

The absolutely wonderful VelvetTiger has been updating me with photos of her progress, and I am completely IN LOVE with the work she's done on them. I wanted to wait till they were completed to show these pictures, because I wanted to surprise everyone...but I can't wait anymore!

I commissioned her to do a pair of peacock-inspired face-ups. I sketched out what I wanted on paper, and sent her the drawings...they were terrible drawings, let me tell you, and I am still shocked that she managed to produce exactly the image I had in my mind (because I'm sure I didn't convey it too well on paper!)

As you can see below, the plan was to have a Dark version with the color scheme of jewel tones - green, purple and blue; and the a Light version, in yellow, pink, pastel blue and light green. The detailing she has put into it is immense (keep in mind that these are Soom Teenie Gems...they have ridiculously small heads)!

As of now, they are complete and she will be sending me photos either tonight or tomorrow! And then they will be on their way back!


My ridiculously terrible sketches:

Photos of the finished product, coming soon!

Upgrading again!

Yes, the Chateau is presently undergoing some changes (I like to tweak things every now and then), so I hope you like the new layout when it's all done!

In the meantime, some lovely picture spam :p

Eden, taking over Tomoki's outfit. Doesn't she look like a dashing prince?

I tried again to style Mio's new wig. I think it looks much better now! 

Yume and Neru having a little playtime on my new balcony :)

Elune in a photo I took because of a request from someone to see her lip mod :)

Our new friend now has a name! Her name is Kiyomi! And here she is enjoying her first local BJD Meet with Asako! 

Asako, looking as adorable as ever. I got some wonderful comments about her wig, face-up and outfit during the meet.

In latest news...!

The most adorable "thing" ever, just arrived at my place three days ago. A gift from my most wonderful boyfriend for my birthday. I've been too busy to get around to posting here, but I couldn't deny her camera time! So here she is, in all her (currently nameless) cheek-pinching adorable-ness.




Isn't she so beary lovely?
