FYI + New Work from October - Nov 4th, 2024

11/4/2024

Hello everyone, and welcome back to my blog section! I had a busy month of October outside of dolls, but I was able to paint 2 things, one commission and another for myself. It’s been a calm year for commissions (sadly), but I am grateful for the ones I’ve had so far!
I got to paint a classic blast from the past, a Hujoo Girl that got a faceup, and my own Dream Valley Eve, which was a new arrival to my collection, that got the full spa treatment. It’s really fun for me to paint dolls, can you tell?

First thing first, the FYI:
I’ll be leaving for the USA mid December, which means if anyone wants to commission me still this year and have me send out the finished dolls before I fly, I will be accepting commission forms through Friday, November 8th, 2024. I also need the parts to be sent right away, so that I have time to do my best work possible.
Thanks for understanding!

And now onto the pictures under the read more break!

Last of 2023 - Jan 16th, 2024

1/16/2024

Hello and welcome to the new year of 2024! I hope everyone had a good slide and 2024 is gentle on all of you.
December was a light month in regards to doll customization, as I had no commissions at that time (nor since yet), so I repainted some of my own dolls. Both dolls are new additions to my collection that I bought secondhand from a dear local friend. One I had no clue what to do with, and the other was a dream come true.

If you or anyone else you know needs a faceup, please get in touch through my contact form or Instagram! I enjoy working with clients and I have a quick turnaround time, especially when I have nothing on my plate.

But anyway, in December I painted a modded April Story Juliet and a Fairyland MNF Ryeon. Without further ado, onto the pictures and rambling under the break!

New Work from Oct 2023 + FYI - Nov 7th, 2023

11/7/2023

Hello and welcome back to the blog on my website! Today's update features everything I completed this past October of 2023, and boy it's quite a bit!! Seven faceups and four sets of hands.
This blog entry is special as it features my 600th faceup, and I am just so proud of my progress the last 12 years since I've started painting dolls. Basically I average 50 faceups a year at this rate, though my faceup output has definitely decreased the past couple of years, as I've taken on a lot of body aesthetic commissions as well. I will post about that though in December when I wrap up this year.

Either way, today I will share a Fairyland RealFee Toki and a Coco, a Resinsoul Ai, a Telesthesia Doll XunYiChao, a Smart Doll Chaos G07 head, a Fairyland Feeple60 Mirwen with 2 sets of hands, a set of Fairyland Minifee hands, and a Doll Leaves Theresa along with a pair of her hands.
Onto some pictures and ramblings under the break!

FYI + New Work - May 2nd, 2023

5/2/2023

It's May, so now I am gonna post the completed work from April, but before I get into that I wanted to go over the FYI.
The cost of living has gone up horribly this year along with my rent, so I needed to increase my prices as well. Please see Commission & Prices for the new costs. All estimates I have already provided are valid and won't be changed.

Commissions are still open, so feel free to contact me for a quote or a slot!

Now with the FYI out of the way, let's cover what aesthetics I did the last month. I worked on a Dollzone Po, an Iplehouse EID Gentle Akando, a pair of Miracle Doll 1/4 girl feet, a Dollmore Kid Sona, and a pair of Fairyland MNF Roller Skates.

Last Work of 2022 - Jan 3rd, 2023

1/3/2023

Well, I got hit hard with the crud in December and wasn’t as productive as I hoped I’d be. I did manage some work before I succumbed to illness in the beginning of the month, but it was way less than I planned for. Oh well, at least I did get some things done!

Things I have to show for today are a Popovy Sisters Tawny Owl on Body IV in coral skin, a Fairyland Feeple60 El Elf Event A 2021 head, and a Doll Family-H 1/3 scale Small bust piece. The last two belong together so. Just as a quick warning, this post does contain doll nudity.
Without further ado, onto some pictures and blathering under the break!

New Work - Sept. 17th, 2022

9/17/2022

It's been a hot minute since I've posted on here. I have quite a bit of work to share since I had Covid-19 again the first two weeks of August. I have been posting the collages to the Examples section here, along with some new owner pics as well.
Despite this run of Covid being mild, it still fatigued me horribly and it's taken me quite a while to get back into the swing of working on commissions. I have finished 5 faceups, 2 body blushes, and some fantasy parts since then.

Today I will only share the work I still completed in August, otherwise it's just too long of a blog post. Things to share are a Fairyland MNF Alicia, a Popovy Sisters Blue Jay and her body, and a Soom Heliot Fantasy head from the Cosmos release.
Without further ado, onto the pictures and ramblings under the break!

New Work - April 22nd, 2021

4/22/2021

I am finally back home and on the mend from pneumonia in both of my lungs due to Covid-19. I'm not fully recovered yet (that'll take time) but I am regaining strength everyday. I will though resume working on commissions this weekend as I am no longer contagious and can handle the commissions again without risking infecting my clients with this nasty virus.
I did receive a few more commissions for faceups, and gotta finish up some other full body ones as well. Once I re-open slots again, I will post here and on the home-page.

Anyway today I have only two faceups to show, a Fairyland Pukifee Cupid in tan skin, and my Dollzone Mann in peach skin.

First, my new prices have gone live as of last week, but I'm not quite ready to take on more commissions yet as I just had some that arrive yesterday that I accepted several months ago (they were sent from the companies straight to me). I'd like to at least get one of those done before I reopen my slots!

But now to get to the meat of this post. I got to paint an Atelier Momoni Somni, an Iplehouse FID Leonard, and another Resinsoul Mei.

This'll be probably my last post for the year, but I was able to crank out two more face ups while I wait on commissions to come trickling in. I really really wanted to reach 440 completed face ups this year, and I did!
One of the face ups was a just for fun experiment (Soom Rico), and the other was a long overdue redo on one of my own dolls (Dollzone Chinese Dragon Girl) who's had the same face up for 5 or so years.

New Work - Nov 8th, 2019

The last week I was a busy busy bee and knocked out 3 parts of a 5 part commission! The parts I did were face ups on two Ringdoll Alice 01 sculpts in normal skin, and a 2D Doll Cream in light tan. They all had small variances and I was able to finish them within a few days (the weather has been foggy and I've had a lot of errands).
Now all that's missing is to paint two LoongSoul Poi pet dolls and I can re-open commissions!

I'm finally getting back into the swing of things and cranking out commissions! This past week I was able to finish a full body blush and face up on a Magic Time Rachael in normal pink skin. She had come with a previous face up, which I wiped to turn her into a cute cyberpunk-goth!

New Work + FYI - Oct 8th, 2019

10/8/2019

I was able to crank out a new face up this past weekend on a Volks DDH-07 head, and I was able to ship her back yesterday. I had a lot of fun with the galaxy theme for her.
At the end of the post I got an FYI/News tidbit, so be sure to read beyond the break!

Without further ado, onto some pictures under the cut!

New Work - Sept. 29th, 2019

I was finally able to get started on the Unoa Alchemy Lusis in fairy skin this past week, and got her face up done. It's been slow progress lately, which I apologize for, as I've been struck with migraines on the weekends (the days where I have time to work on commissions). But at least I was able to get some work done!
On the Unoa I still gotta restring her and blush her body as well as a mani/pedicure, but at least her face up is done!

I've been hard at work on the Dollshe Hound body and have finished the upper body so far. I will need to take him apart again and suede him to keep him from scratching the tattoos immediately. All that's left now are his mile long legs and feet.
Currently I'm taking a break from him (which the client is fine with) as I need to figure out how to paint his massive legs, and the best way of sealing them to keep the tattoos lined up. Meanwhile I received another doll to paint, an Unoa Alchemy Lusis who needs a face up removal and a face up/body blush/mani/pedicure.

WIP Wednesday - Sept 4th, 2019

Now that my mother is back home, I jumped head first back into working on commissions. I also shipped out all the finished ones I had on me and they are all homeward bound now! These past couple of days I've been slaving away on the Dollshe Hound body (from the Dollshe Saint head), mapping out a full body tattoo. So far his back is done, arms are in the coloring stage, and his chest tattoo is mapped!
