Hey guys! I'm open for a small batch of faceup commissions ✨ You can find all the infos and the commission form here. Slots are first come, first served and to be paid up front. I'm located in the US!

🌷🥀 Faded Rose 🌹🌸

Amdusias is coming along 💞 I made him some eyes and while they're not perfect, they'll do for a while! He's supposed to be a unicorn man so he still needs a tail and a horn. But at least he has hooves (not that you'll ever see them, because I never take full body photos lol).

I have a lot of dolls. So these days, I try to only keep ones that are very special, rare, nostalgic, etc etc. Aim is one of the few who sticks around simply because I love his character so much, and his doll version suits the character so perfectly! He's very pretty, but also a bit goofy looking, which I think is such a cute combo.

This sculpt uses 16/6mm eyes, and I've had a hell of a time trying to get the perfect one for Andras. It's not a popular size to begin with, and bright yellow isn't a popular color, and the custom ones I ordered came out the wrong color. This is what finally pushed me into learning how to make my own eyes. :P And I'm happy to say that after a bit of practice, I've made one for Andras that I'm happy with. At long last, he looks right!!

I'm also very pleased with this gorgeous jacket made by Saphar BJD. I was worried the brown wouldn't suit him, but he looks gooood. I think the final touch for Andras would be to trim his hair a bit, but I'm too scared for now. 😂

Saturn has emerged from storage ♥ I love how his expression shifts. Though to me, he always looks sweet. Some of his piercings fell off, so I've been debating whether I should glue them back on, or freshen him up with a new faceup. I still like this faceup, but it's quite old now, I think I did it in 2014.

Delf Moon is very nostalgic for me. A couple of my friends collected BJDs, and I thought they were neat but not worth their high price. Moon was the first doll I saw that I felt was worth the money. I loved him so much! I didn't end up buying one until years later, but it was definitely Moon that pushed me into buying my first BJD.

Edit: Commissions are closed ♥ Thank you!

I love Astaroth so much, but he’s definitely needed a bit of an overhaul for a while. I’m finally addressing some easy fixes (thinned out his much-too-voluminous wig and I’m gonna try to make him eyes with smaller irises), but unfortunately his body will have to wait. He’s only borrowing this one. I’d like to see him on something taller with broad shoulders, perhaps Dollstown 17 or 18. Still mulling it over but I won’t be able to afford it for a while anyway 😂

Astaroth is a Soom Bix

My little blue husbando is finally getting some much needed attention 💙 He’s an awkward size and I wasn’t sure how to work with this blue, so dressing him has been a challenge! But I think this look really captures the vibe I was going for. He has two other heads that I will hopefully get around to painting this year!

This guy has been hanging out for a year, but he’s finally done! I spent most of that time waffling about his color scheme. But once I got this wig, everything just came together. He’s soo cute! 💜

Lately I’ve been learning to make resin eyes, and this is the first pair that meet my standards! So I’m pretty excited about that, too 🥰 I’m not 100% satisfied with many of the eyes my dolls wear (mostly fit/size issues) so it’s exciting that I can start to replace them with homemade eyes. (It’s worth mentioning that I bought the bases premade- if I had to cast those myself I probably wouldn’t bother at all, lol)

I’ve had her for a long time, but finally Marax got a faceup 🥰 I love her so much! Ashanti has always been my absolute favorite Iplehouse sculpt, but I don’t like the EID or SID bodies. Luckily I was able to snatch her up secondhand on a YID body, and I think it works pretty well! Someday I’d like for her to have bantu knots, but that’s a project for the distant future 😂

Edit: Closed!
