My YJ stash arrived yesterday.. There were 9 glasses, 1 pair of pants and 2 pairs of shoes (which doesnt fit). So we had fun playing with all the glasses and we finally settled on which is for who. Click the photo for more photos (on DoA). Galad is also wearing the pants, an sdc brown Volks pants that I went *grabby hands* at SephXIII's.

Rie is also back from phoenixlancer's. Gosh he's been in that outfit for a month >_> Poor guy... I'm going to unstring him and give him a bath to get ready for pending payments..

Kali models a stripey blue hoodie. The fabric is super soft, super thin and super stretchy like you wouldn't believe. Very nice! Bleh, I need a new sewing machine.. one that can do zig zags! XP That zig zag up there? I did it manually.. T_T

The fabric from ebay that Catherine helped me buy. <3 I love how smart they look ^_^;;

Remember the fabrics I was talking about? I received them last week, and some other fabrics from ebay, a dark dark blue (almost black) helped by catherine, and a black and cream from a seller in australia.


Kali is modeling 3 of the new fabrics.. Isn't the white one with spiders and skulls and glittery gold very pretty? The black and cream is nice scaled too, and the blue stripes is very bright and happy ^^

Look.. Kali's hair is the same as SephXIII's (rukiyo) !!



She and phoenixlancer came over the other day for some pants fitting (SD16 to Lati Red) as she wanted to get some Hound pants that Diverse Designs were selling, but unfortunately it didn't fit on her Yuki/Silren..

Here's a group photo of the night!


Yes, Kali is back on her body, as Dana is being traded to the girl who has her on layaway, for a mnf boy body that she put up for sale. Yes what a confusing but happy ending anyway. So, Dana is flying off soon, and then we'll receive the mnf boy body within 2-3 weeks. And then, another 2-3 weeks for the head to be shipped to me, after eye-opening and faceup by someone in the USA. Not decided who yet. Then I'll be getting Rathi next ^^

Here it is!



The little TEEEFFF... <3

I have found someone who wants a normal MNF Elf Shiwoo in white skin... Oh so so excited!!

Oh yes! Thank you Luts for giving us a LAST MINUTE NOTICE!! T__T

Tho, its probably caused by me. I sent in an innocent inquiry on the 20th as to when they are releasing MNF Shiwoo Elf so I can grab the vamp head .. I asked them so that I can plan my purchases aka not get in trouble when they actually release it and I had just spent the money on something else! I really really wanted the teeth, not the ears.. Vampire Teeth for Alitos!! No less ^_~

And then, 2 days later, they replied to my inquiry by putting him up immediately???? With a one day notice?! T__T

I certainly dont have enough for him as a whole, but I have the money for his head alone. (Tho with the long wait time as seen during Elf Shushu, I could probably get his body by the time his head reaches home ^^)

Anyhoo.. if anyone/know of anyone looking to get a White Skin MNF Elf Shiwoo (normal open eyed) and I get the vamp head, please check out my split thread... Thank youuuuu <3

Looks like at least 3 more days to wait and see.......... I hope its solved soon..

Posted in DoA, reposting here if any of the Malaysian Paypal users have the same prob..

Hi all, I need your help and to see if anyone has the same problem as I have and if they've solved it..

See, I'm using my boyfriend's paypal (Malaysian verified aka Non-US account) to be able to receive funds from buyers. Paypal did not offer their services to Brunei Darussalam when I first joined the hobby and yes, paypal was the best option to buy and sell with. Luckily my boyfriend is Malaysian and was able to sign up for me.

Paypal services for Malaysia - I was able to receive and send funds. He added his credit card so it is a verified account. To accept funds, I did have to manually accept each transaction and I am asked to add a US Bank account everytime. I was able to skip this and just choose the option "Accept funds without adding a bank account" all the time.

Today, I received a payment and I was asked to enter bank account details - a US Bank account details, which I obviously do not have, and I was not able to skip this to accept the payment, so its still waiting on Accept/Deny status...

Has anyone encountered this problem before? Please respond if you know a friend who've this problem.. maybe even the Malaysian account holders.. did any of you get this?

Thanks a lot for all your help..

ps: I'm using Premier account already, not Personal..

Galad's eyes are too round to give me the "glare up at you" look successfully, so I'm thinking of sending him off to be modded. I've done a mockup of the mods to avoid confusion, is there anything else you can see before I finalise and send out the head? Worried I miss out something! T__T 

My aim is to make him look more "arrogant bastard prince" as he should be. Default Miko is too cute to pull it off XD

ps: Do you think the modded eyes now look too wide for the face or its fine as is?

Took new pics of the shelves where I put my fabrics collection.


I put the new pics with my old ones in photobucket (there's an LF hand for comparison in some of the pics!)View all here

I'm in a sewing block, anyone want to throw ideas, link, inspirations, art at me, pls do!! I want to learn smtg new...

These are a series of photos I took a while ago.. Kali looks good in a white wig too! But I still want to stick to her blue-green Before Capture theme. Look inside, you can finally see her elf ear! ^_^;; Her ears are close to the head so its hard to show them...




Logo usage! Think I'm following this format from now on. Logo, words at bottom then link at side.

Took a photo of Kali today. She's still on Galad's body requested by someone in the mini forum. Its a good match KD head on SDC propotions-wise, I'm not sure about resin wise though. Isn't she cute! Its one of my fav faceups.. I'd hate to wipe it later for her gothic look. I might repaint her like this one day just for fun...

Went fabric shopping yesterday.. Look! Stripes and polka dots.. but they are all thin cotton (cotton broadcloth I believe they call it..) The pink dots are actually hearts, not dots. The leftmost fabric is a dark maroon colour. The striped pink, striped green and maroon/white polkadots are out of scale for dolls, so I'm making something else with them.. wait and see!

Here's Ash with his purple dragon plusie made by elisa_maza on DoA. Its adorable!! And the dress I was working on, I finished it last night.. Zomg, with lined bodice too! T__T I'll post the inside tonight when I get back from work...

Ash doesn't make a good girl.. he's too pouty! XD (But I love his pout) .. just not giving good vibes when he's in a dress. (duh). But yes.. I'm entertaining dreams of getting a YO sd girl .. Papi is so adorable!

First an update on last post... with the help of salvation_jane, we managed to win the auction! Yay =) Now awaiting the seller to ship the fabric. I hope I can find more tiny striped fabric soon, I haven't gone looking on ebay UK yet. Speaking of stripes, the latest Ajumapama clothes for Unoa are so pretty!! Lots of stripes there, and I like the black layered skirt!  Stamping is one thing I must learn..

Two nights ago phoenixlancer dropped off Damyn so I can really take proper measurements, I work better with an actual model.. since Damyn is a new size for the Brunei BJD scene, I cannot simply alter existing patterns I have for SephXIII's SD and SD13 boys.. Lati Red bodies are very different!

Took a photo of him and Galad earlier..


Galad looks like he's saying, "Don't worry Damyn ... Phoenix won't forget about you!" ^_^;; They look soo cute together! Da boys boys.

Hey look, its the first use of my new logo! An imp I commissioned Firexie (on DoA) for watermarking photos. Its perfectly imp-like! And cute! What do you guys think of the application? Should it be a black colour imp instead? With white border around it? Should I add a line around the photo as a border? How about the font "impdoll", is it appropriate or its not working... Anything and everything you wanna comment, send it my way!

I've been looking for striped fabric since forever, any striped fabric, black, white, red, blue, pink...  Its not available easily and I've stalked ebay looking for ones with tiny stripes scaled for doll clothes. The thing with ebay is its really hard to find.. They may label it jersey or knit or ribbed or something else I don't know..

I finally found this one: Tiny Black and White striped cotton knit! But the seller don't ship overseas. She didn't even reply to my question. T__T I really would like to get this still though, anyone can help? But make sure she replies to your question first nevertheless.. its so suspicious if she doesn't reply, even if she don't intend to ship overseas... Its only one day left, I don't know if you can manage to catch her.

If that fails tho... where else can I get striped fabric? Can I ask someone to be my 'shopping service' ? ^_^; In fact, it'll be great if I have a permanent person who can buy cotton knits from instead of sourcing it all over ebay... Shipping will kill me....

On happier news.. I won two fabrics today..

Attempted/Practiced beading on another dress last night. (If you're wondering, Kali's Version 2 dress is still drafting patterns T__T least fav part of sewing!) I intend to bead that dress so I might as well practice...

Here's it is, this time its pearls only so it was quite simple.. 
( Cut as photo is vertical )
 
Galad has a new faceup!

Well, not really. I didn't wipe his lips .. I wasn't confident tht I'd be able to reproduce the same yummylicious effect! I don't think I got it right =( His eyebrows are crooked and its not mature/manly enough, but my MSC finally ran out so I have to wait to redo it until I can get my HLJ stuffs from SephXIII. I've got RM Pinkys and MSC~!
