Resin Uprising

Mafuyu’s back!! I was today years old when I learned the Dollstown 18 yr body can do a pretty mean seiza/kneeled sitting, and he was so stable, so of course that’s his new position now forever and he can even sit in the cabinet this way…

I busted my ass on this shoot, on the floor, swearing under the lights. But I think it was all worth it for Soom Dia #2! He’s also finally wearing his Fifth Motif hands which I’m debating if I should blush or not, because technically the white paint they use in kabuki goes on his hands too!

The best memes I’ve ever created (yet)

Fight.

Granado’s Mars photoshoot gave me a great idea for Zein! They’re boxing it up or doing some kind of capoeira (I’m imagining) and looking super drool-worthy while doing it!

(Don’t ever have your dolls next to you if you work from home, ppl - too distracting!)

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

And I think the glue gun she's using is a variation of this one. I already ordered and received it; it feels so light and I think it will work really well.

I live in an art/craft supply dessert and our michaels doesn’t carry very many glue guns so I ended up having to go to hobby lobby where I found a SUPER low temp hot glue gun.  Like Emilia I have high heat tolerance on my fingers from years and years of hot glue and metalsmithing and what not, but this super low temp gun(that has a long nozzle) doesn’t burn my fingers at all. 

Also good about the low temp gun, I’m pretty sure I can use it on synthetic hair.  I used it on acrylic roving last night.

Ignore how messy it is. I love big hair on dolls and I can’t wait to curl this up!

Here’s the glue gun

the type of “yarn” i used

Also I have a pre-order open for Little Parfait in Hazelnut skin tone(shown)! It’s darker in person.  $200 plus shipping, specify 9 inch(comes with both Cherry and Blackberry face-plates) or 11 in(choose which face plate you’d like).  She fits in all kinds of 1/6th clothes!  The 9 inch even fits in some Monster High stuff. 

I LOVE how this outfit came together! She looks like a little adventurer from a video game, exactly the vibe I was going for. <3

I'm going to show you how to make a boy Mini Dollfie Dream body using Obitsu torso parts!

You will need:

- Volks MDD body in Semi-White

- Parabox/Obitsu 45cm male torso shell (upper and lower soft vinyl parts) in White

---

Remove the arms and legs from the MDD body.

Detach the upper torso skeleton part from the lower torso skeleton part. Remove the lower torso skeleton part through one of the leg holes in the vinyl shell.

Cut out a 2cm deep wedge on each side of the male lower torso shell. Slide the lower torso skeleton into the shell from the top opening.

The Obitsu/Parabox shell is really soft and flexible. Although the male upper body is wider than the MDD, it can be squished to allow the arms to sit securely in the sockets.

The neck has a better range of movement, too!

If you want to use an Obitsu/Parabox head on the MDD skeleton, make a stopper from EVA (craft) foam and slip it on the neck peg. (The one in my photos is Parabox "Luna")

Now you have a boy 45cm vinyl fashion doll! He will fit in regular MSD size clothing, and can use the 45cm stain-prevention bodysuit from Parabox.
