BeYa !

I am feeling major love for for this little beeauty BeYa, new from Bambicrony!
Her Manga features are so cute ^_^
I already have 2 Bambi elves but BeYa is a bit different and that's good.
Unfortunately she doesn't come as a 'proper' fullset with all the bits included I'm having a hard time justifying the cost.
Wings - $55 - how can u have a bee without wings ?
But those Enchanted eyes at $46.80 - *groans* they are so beautiful and glittery... *sighs*

Trick and Treat !

Totally tricked by Pip wearing his pumpkin head from Fairyland !

And he thinks it's funny...

But, I got the best Halloween treat from Animetor Lily
Zue drew my *Bryony the Witch* doll for Project Happy on devianArt.
And look how beautiful Bryony is, flying high in a starry sky !
I love everything about it - the detail and colours - just perfect ^_^

Happy Halloween !

POPPIHOLLA !

Tyni arrived from Fairyland last Friday !
A little smaller than Pukipuki at about 9cm she is totally cute.
Her name is now Poppiholla ^_^
Soso was in the same order but he is hiding out 'till Christmas (it isn't that long to wait).

I couldn't resist making Poppi something new.
Sweet !

Moonflowers Garden

It's time again, that I re-arranged my website and took new photos of my dolls. It's a very time consuming thing and normally I gather it all together and publish it in one go, but this time I will do it a bit at a time : )

I don't really know why I keep my website. 'Back in the day' we all wanted our own dolly webby but now everyone seems to have Blogs and Flickr. I suppose I'm a little old fashioned and I still enjoy mucking about with graphics and stuff.

This is my most recent pic of Moonflower. She was my first BJD, a Youth Dollmore Eve - White Lilith. She has 4 sets of ears - human, short elf, long elf and mermaid. Of course Moonflower always wears her long elf ears because she is Prima Ballerina Assoluta in the Garden and the longer ones ears are the higher ones authority is : )

I did originally repaint her lips to make them less sulky and because I didn't the Dollmore lip colour. I love her as she is but one day it will be time for a change and I will give her a whole new face up.

This is Teasle and she always wears her long Siamese ears. This is the sleeping version ; )

Sugar Bowl Challenge 20

This week is a sketch from Gayle - and to ‘dress’ your stamped image using patterned or plain design papers.

Well I did dress my Gorjuss girl, but, instead of using paper I stamped onto a fallen leaf from our Witch Hazel tree. The leaf is such a beautiful shade of rusty red I had to use it ! So using my Crafty Individuals papers I created a little Autumn fairy for this challenge ^_^

Unoa Lusis

Just when I was thinking that this year had been a bit empty new doll wise and with Tyni and Soso on the way, I wasn't expecting this girl to turn up.
An Unoa Quluts has been my grail doll for so long that I can't believe this Lusis is mine at last ! I nearly pre-ordered one with Crescent this year but things happened and it went right out of my mind. Then I was lucky enough to see this kit on DOA and in the UK too : )

I was wary about having to string her but it turned out to be very easy.
I'm not disappointed with her in any way, she is beautiful and sooo dainty !

Her name is Inari and she is Bryony's younger sister.

No face up yet and I need some special eyes for her.
Looking for wigs and clothes.

But I did give her a manicure ^_^

Realpuki Poser

This has to be the cutest little poser ever !

There are more pics of the Real puki body here

Mind Wide Open Sept Challenge

I wish that I had had time yesterday to take pics in the daylight but it got too late ( as usual ) so here is what my notebook 'really' looks like : )
This is a Papermania chipboard book I think, I've had it a while. I gessoed the covers and stamped a texture into it using a piece of lace, then spritzed with mixed Cosmic Shimmers and inked the edges.
I printed the pretty image from Gail onto cotton fabric sewed the ribbon roses and added the other beads etc. The image is layered onto hand painted cotton and vintage lace.
The inside cover includes a paper pocket edged with lace.

And this is the inside back cover with an embossed cracked rose cut from the original image.

What's on the back ?
Em...

nothing...yet !
^_^

Tyni & Soso

I nearly fell off my chair when I saw these two little beauties yesterday ! Something welled up inside me and I nearly burst with excitement ^_^
Honestly I swear that if Fairyland had set out to sell a doll to me this was how to do it. Cute face, elf ears, pointy shoes, pixie hat.Oh and let's stand her on a toadstool !
SOLD

And how, pray tell, could u possibly get one without the other ?

50 days processing time - it's gonna be a loooooong wait!

Shades of Autumn

I've put together some recently acquired bits and bobs. The colours are beautiful and I hope it will inspire me to create something lovely : )
In the background - handyed silk & ribbon( it's my one weakness and I'm trying to resist the silk velvet also from the Thredfairy on eBay ) - crinkle chiffon in dusky shades to match some delicious Prima flowers.
A vintage lace flounce and MOP flower buttons. The tiny buttons are metal.

Apple Blossom silk ribbon on a lacey sort of flocked paper.

And this chap is Pan from Pans Labyrinth - Tony's latest work in progress.

Sugar Bowl Challenge 17 – Judy’s Sketch

I liked this sketch from Judy a lot ! This time I was inspired by the digital downloads at Shabby Cottage Studio and of course my pretty new stamp from Sugar Nellie. I coloured the stamp using Promarkers with a watercoloured background. The roses are handmade using scraps of ribbon with a tiny K&Company tag and a couple of acrylic leaves.
All in all a nice vintage look and whatever lettuce heart soap is I would like to try it.
^_^

Pretty Baby

Meet Orla Gypsy Vampyre ! She's a modded Bambicrony Elf Lotti and is the latest addition to Moonflowers Garden. Well actually, she arrived in June - you can read her story in Faezine.
She is my first full face up and mod from scratch. Better pics on my website : )
