My Doll Family

Hey all ^^

I'm putting together my doll family and I wanted to share my ideas with you 8D In this blog I'm posting the pictures from the google, because I don't have all of these or they don't quite look like I want them too, yet. Plus, it's kinda neat to see there basic form before they're customized ^^

  • good friends with Adelle and Leaves
  • fiesty little fairy with lots of flair and attitude - and very cute ^^

  • previously this doll was Adelle, but I've made her a more immature character to suit her young body. Adelle's character has matured a lot and I have given her persona to an older looking doll
  • spoiled, adolescent girl preteen who believes she knows everything and is determined to always get her way


Yulie Tyurina - Doll Leaves LiLi Girl

  • Yulie's last name was changed, but she's mostly the same: very girly and very sweet :)


Pavel Tyrin - Doll Leaves KiKi Boy

  • This doll underwent a big change also. Pavel was previously Thalia. I had these two planned out before I bought them. When they were ordered I asked for two girls. When I got them, KiKi was sent to me with a boy body accidentally. Another funny thing was I ordered wigs from them around the time I ordered them from a different company. The long wig I ordered for Thalia was out of stock, and I ordered a short one instead, because it was the only other wig that matched Yulie's wig in color. Anyways, the longer I had Thalia the more it grew on me that this doll was a boy. I even redid the faceup with beautiful thick lashes, and it just screamed BOY!!! at me. lol. SO, Thalia is now Pavel and I admit I really like the change :D

  • As of today, I'm still waiting on this girl to be finished. I ordered her on Feb 10th and am super anxious for her to get here. She'll be my only SD sized doll and I think she'll be really fun to sew for and take pictures of. :D I"m a little anxious to do a face up on a tanned doll, as the sealant could possibly cloud her face to look whiter than it really is, so I'll make sure she gets a nice, light, natural look so I don't have to use so many layers :D
  • Kotoro is just and kind, but can be very firm when she needs to be. She is proper and beautiful and head over heels in love with her soulmate who shall not be named here xD


Adelle Lucette Deshoulieres-Siofra - FairyLand Minifee Chloe Vampire Elf Girl

  • My biggest change. Adelle's new and improved, more mature character, has been re-dolled. She no longer has her mortal name, as her doll (LUCKILY!!) is a VAMPIRE doll :D Most of my doll people don't know that Adelle is actually a vampire. The doll version of her was meant to mimic her mortal self before she was turned. NOW, I get to make the version of her I am most fond of. Adelle was recently married to Ingel, and I hope that he's able to be added to the Doll Family as well (hopefully owned by my bf Tsu ^^ one day <3 ) I keep forgetting Ingel's last name too orz, so Adelle's name will be hyphenated since they're married now ^^ (edit: Ingel's last name is Siofra)

My next blog will talk about future dolly plans. Tsu included, since our families are very much intertwined 8D <3 Also, in the future, once all the dolls look as they should, I'll be working on character sheets and such ^^ <3

Yeah That's It!

Hey you guys :)

Sorry for the lack of updating the blog! I got really busy with school and didn't really keep an account of my dolly activities. However, I have some pics to share with you :D Though I've been quiet, I've still been indulging in the hobby :)

First, I made my first pair of tiny jeans. They were a bit fiddly because they are soooo small (2 1/2 inches from the top of the waist to the hem on the leg) plus, the legs are about as big around as a #2 pencil. Flipping them inside out and such was definitely interesting!! However, I'm very proud of them. :D I wish I could make them a little tighter to fit her body better, but I don't think I can physically sew something smaller than that in denim.


[img of Rae in jeans - blogger isn't letting me post any D:]

I thought her outfit was so cute, I decided to make Adelle a similar outfit :D

I plan to take them both outside and take some photos in natural light. I was hoping to do that today, but I was too tired to set up a spot on the porch and all that. I ended up napping when my son decided he was going to take his nap xD (His naps are a great time for playing with dolls!)

So, not only did I sew those two some outfits, I made shirts for Thalia and Yulie, AS WELL as completely redoing their faceups. They look so much better now :D

Hopefully my next pic won't be such a spammy photo dump, but this is what I've been up to! :D
Till next time!
