baaaaa!

funnily enough, this pine fairy started as me wanting to make a doll with a pinecone head, and then i forgot to take any photos where that detail is visible. the other pinecones may make up for that.

the drywood dryad is dormant in the summer, appearing like a dead tree, but walks around in the winter, growing fruit from its branches to feed crows & other birds.

this was inspired by my partner telling me to make something with a lot of crows. the prompt was originally for a warhammer mini, but i decided to also sculpt a bjd so i could have more details & use different materials.

i've made some moth girl bjds before, but i wanted to take the fluff to the maximum and make an art doll with fur.

i got swept away by the mightiest need to make a layered robot head that can be taken apart completely -> spent the last couple of days doing very little else than working on these two. they're mostly the same sculpt, but the pink one has some functional improvements compared to the black. all parts attach by magnets. the upper half of the mask can slide up and down, and the ears can rotate.

i have a matching body in progress, but these heads are enormous, so i'm not 100% sure if i will be printing it in this size. regardless, full modular robobuny coming up eventually.

the adult version of my plant baby sculpt i said i wanted to make!

no leaves, but plenty of eyes.

inspired by me spacing out on a long drive & staring at trees. this happened earlier this year, and birches ended up growing leaves before i finished the doll.

Please give my newest doll Rune (Magic Mirror Branwen Elf in quartz) a warm welcome! She arrived last week after a long wait of 7,5 months. She’s a gorgeous and lanky doll, and I’m so glad I could order one, after the in stock one was sold out from under my nose in March at Epic Doll Fair.

I managed to finish both her Faceups on the weekend, so here’s a few quick pictures to show them off:

Let me share some full body pics along with her blank faceplates from her box opening:

Rune came with two faces, a human and elf version. I intend to primarily use the elf eared head. She unfortunately arrived with a broken finger, but Marta will be replacing the hand as soon as she’s able to get one made.

Fortunately, I was able to repair her hand in the meantime, and I’ll be concealing the break with some golden tattoo work, similar to he forehead design.

I’m actually really happy with how well I was able to repair the break, I did have to sand the overlap a little, but luckily her fingers are thick enough that taking off half a millimeter on each overhang did not change the optics.

She did get restrung and sueded by me (she came pretty much straight from the caster without being inspected by the artist), but I feel I need to restring her again, just a little tighter still. Her arms luckily are fine, but the body is loose. I may wire her too just for extra security. She will be getting shoes eventually, as I got some on order with another preordered doll from Impldoll.

The what is what:

Thank you so much @joshybearhuggies for the FUN crochet tutorial for your ✨Comfi Cardi✨. It was so relaxing to make and your vid was lovely, I watched it twice while working just for the joy of it. Every step was easy with the visuals and description.

So! I used Lion Brand Ice Cream 3 weight and a 2.75 hook exactly like the tutorial and it fits perfectly on my Limhwa girl (1/3 BJD size). The edging is a thrifted thread so I'm not sure the size of that.

When it came time to decorate, I thought it looked so Kidcore that I had to put some kind of a collar on it. I used the exact technique from the cuff and hem, but started with a 10 chain and then slip stitched the ends of each row into its own half double crochet on the cardi edge (instead of slip stitching two together). I slip stitched into the loop on the right side of the garment only. I started the collar at about the bottom edge of the fourth row of granny clusters.

It turned out so cheerful and I'm thrilled to have a piece like this! Thank you again Joshy!!!! ♥️

Currently my favorite is bold primary colors in a kidcore aesthetic, like this cardigan I crocheted last year!

It pains me that I don't actually have much in this color scheme 'cause I've been going all in with pastels for so many years XD I will make more!
