Summer Dresses - Photoshoot in the Garden

WARNING PICTURE HEAVY

I saw some dresses on flickr and decided to create some of my own.










I'm certainly enjoying having Larke back in working order again and she's so much more expressive on the obitsu, I especially love being able to tilt her head, I got quite frustrated with Nausicaa/Myste (still unsure but I think Myste suits her better).

More pictures coming soon!!!

Thanks for looking,

New Body for Larke

Since Larkes arms broke I haven't touched her. I was looking online for another Pullip but when I thought about it, it didn't make any sense, so I decided to order Larke a new body and Nausicaa boots. 

I was thinking of going for a Volks EB Teens but after asking on Pullip Fiction I decided to go for the Obitsu SBH-M. 


I asked on Pullip Fiction for advice and got a really good tutorial where you don't have to saw the neck peg.


Click on the image for the full tutorial. It was a little tricky to do and get right but I think I have it sorted now!!

     

I has worked fairly well although after I did a photoshoot yesterday the head became very floppy and I've had to tighten the hair band this morning. Not sure if its a long term fix but I don't even know how floppy the head is on a normal neck peg conversion!

Here's a couple of pics from the photoshoot, I'll post some more soon!




Thanks for looking!

New Wig for Nausicaa


After drooling for ages on the blue fur wig in my last post I bit the bullet and ordered it and boy am I not disappointed. Its super soft and it just looks awesome on her. I'm not sure if Nausicaa suits her anymore though, I'm toying with the idea of re-naming her Myste, but I'm still chewing on it. Anyway, here are some pics!!!

I also worked out how to re-size the photos on my camera so they are not so mahoosive!!!



 



I hope you like them!

Wig Swapping & New Wigs


Soon after I had Larke (Kirsche) I thought I would take off her stock wig and try out some different eye chips. I had Adsittia's stock eye chips (which are pink with larger pupils) from the extra ones I got with Nausicaa. I really like them but obviously pink and red are not the best combination. However, with a different wig I think they would look quite good. But, because her blue stock eye chips have the white accents on them they seem to have more depth. 

When I first started looking at Pullips, the eyes was one of the first things that drew me into them. I'm generally drawn to eyes anyway, but I prefer the paler colours. I really like the look of the acrylic eyes but the thought of sawing part of the eye mechanism makes me cringe. Another thing to be saving up for... different eye chips, not that they cost much. The other thing that came with Nausicaa was the glittery paper that you can put behind the eye chip to make it brighter and sparklier. Instead of changing the eye chips I just opted for adding the sparkle. 

As I had taken Larke's wig off I thought I would try her with Nausicaas stock wig. I quite liked it at first but I definately prefer longer hair on Pullips.


While I was wig swapping I thought I would try Larke's stock wig on Nausicaa, I think she looks amazing... like a fire demon!!!
 

I do like some of the fake fur wigs you can get. I've been looking at some of them online. I found one seller I particularly like on Etsy called Monstro Designs and a blue wig I've completely fallen in love with... 


I would really like one of those, but being a big short of funds at the moment I thought I would improvise. We have recently moved after having two homes, a flat and a boat... but we have finally decided to sell her so we moved everything off the boat which means I get loads of my old fabric and wool back, which is most excellent as I collected loads of great fabric from charity shops... some of which was some white fake fur from a cushion. I had seen a pattern for a fake fur wig so I thought I would give it a go. Unfortunately the fake fur I had lacks volume, without a hat she looks like she's balding :S But with a hat it looks awesome. Plus the pink in the hat really brings out her eye make-up. With the sun coming out we thought we'd go for a spur of the moment picnic to the forest, so I decided to take the girls out and do a shoot!!!

Hope you like the pics, I think I'm getting better at posing them... See ya later!!
