Coralle’s extra, which is basically the same as her ADAW shot because I was losing the light and didn’t feel up to dragging out the artificial to get more 😶 #adaw #adaw2017 #abjd #bjd #legitbjd #mishisdoll #mishisdollhope #ishtalla #coraelle #thenorthwesternsea #sewing #handmade #vintagesari #vintagedupatta #vintagefabric #oc #originalcharacter #myworks #mydolls #love

I still need to finish her belt, but tiny beads and coin embellishments are done. Plus puffy pants. I like how it's turned out. For some reason, this version of Coraelle is a lot easier to design for and dress than her Soom Haidi version. Maybe it's because her Hope Grumpus face has so much more personality? It's not that the Fairy Legend Haidi face was lacking expression, but I definitely did the right thing by changing her headmold because I can "see" her in this doll, whereas I was having trouble seeing her in the other one. Usually once I find a headmold that works for a character, it never gets changed because that headmold forever becomes them (I guess this is why all of my character dolls are forever what they are and I'm one of the few peeps who haven't upgraded or whatnot my dolls over the years. Jun is forever a Chiwoo/now also Chalco, Fuan and Fanuel forever Els, Jenova forever the Volks old F29, so on and so forth), but in Coraelle's case, her Haidi version just never quite stuck with me and now I guess I know why. She needed to be a Mishi's Doll Hope the Grumpus face all along 😅 #handmade #sewing #mydolls #myworks #coraelle #northwesternsea #ishtalla #mishisdoll #mishidollhope #artistdoll #love #vintage #vintagefabric #vintagesari #vintagedupatta #tinyclothing #dollclothes

Oh my goddddd, why am I still up? Because apparently, after I finished work I decided I couldn't wait until tomorrow to test sew Coraelle some clothing. Still needs a lot of hand sewing deets but as a base, I like it so far. We'll see if I still feel that way when I wake up and can see it properly. For now, I'm about to die so night 😴 #sewing #wip #crafts #abjd #bjd #handmade #coraelle #northwesternsea #ishtalla #mishisdoll #hope #mishidollhope #mydolls #stillsick #soifigurewhynotdiewhileimatit #brbdying

She just has so much personality. I'm so grateful to Mishi's Doll for remembering me after LDoll and then allowing me to do such a long layaway. This girl was well with the wait 💕 #coraelle #northwesternsea #ishtalla #mishisdoll #mishidollhope #myworks #mydolls #oc #vintage #vintagesari #vintagefabric #vintagedupatta #handmade #abjd #love

A Doll a Week 10/52 (only 6 more by the end of the month to get caught up post flu. I can do this *determined*) ... The pool that was built for Ati'yya has water running through it that's connected to the sea (she is a salt water fish after all). One day, a remnant got curious and followed the plumbing lines in. She was only a portion of the Northwestern sea, not the ocean's full elemental being, but as it is with the rest of the connected seas, she immediately delighted to find a siren at the end of the line and decided to remain, despite the constant current pull trying to sweep her back into her wider self. She takes form to both keep from being pushed out and to play with Ati'yya, as she often fancies to do, and when Ati'yya is out with her mate (whom Coraelle dislikes greatly, thank you very much), she passes her time by playing with the various shiny jewels and adornments of Ati'yya's that remind her of the pretty glass that often washes through her when she's rejoined with her full self. To show her thanks, she rewards Ati'yya with small gifts of shells she wills her currents to push in, and while much to the annoyance of the siren's owner when those same jewels or shiny things come up missing from time to time, Ati'yya is always delighted to find a new shell or pretty bit of coral in the missing jewelry's place... ... Dear glob do I adore this version of Coraelle, not only is she easy to dress, she's super easy to photograph as well, which is something I always had a problem with when it came to her Haidi self. Def did the right thing by switching her up, I really, really love this little doll 💕 #ADAW #adollaweek #adaw2017 #adollaweek2017 #coraelle #ishtalla #northwesternsea #mishisdoll #mishidollhope #mydolls #mycharacters #oc #vintage #vintagesari #vintagefabric #vintagedupatta #myworks #handmade #love
