Okay, normally she wears fire colors, but some time you gotta follow your muse. I'm still working on the finishing touches. Smoothing the mold around the face, gotta make her eyes and a wig. Face up, all those details.

But damn, she's good for a start, I think. She's got golden hair, so I gotta find the right blend for that. Face is made of a different resin, but the face up should fix that color differential. I like this dress style for her, though.

The Paper Army is coming along. You can't see it, but Lerias (the purple one) has elf ears. That wig is too thick. Imma have to fix it. Gotta flock George and Double. Do some blushing on them all. Wigs, eyes, so many details! And Dhampir *dose* have a completed suit, but I gotta find it. When you put things away for protection, you loose shiz, you know what I mean?

Lerias fits most 1:6 things with tailoring. Her shoes have to be BJD 1:6, though, rather than play scale. Dhampir needs shoes. I gotta find the right 'noble but practical' footwear. Sorcha fits guy Rainbow High shoes... I think I can modify some rainbow high girl shoes to fit her. It's the length, since she's so much taller. (RH are just a little taller than Lerias.) I'm also on the great search for a fully articulated guy doll - young adult (high teens) that's about an inch or two higher than Lerias, but with muscles for Geroge's human form. I also want to find the parts to make a were-rat (rat-were) form, so I can have George's war form as well. I may have too custom those, but I'm so afraid I'll mess it up.

This is the dress.

I am considering if I should decorate the waist band or no. The first option is rose bud ribbon.

The first option is rose bud ribbon.

I could also decorate it with gems, flowers, and metal.

Options are plentiful.

What do I use, if anything at all?

Look! Still liftable! Super light. Kid can carry it themselves, if you let them. See that floor clearance? That’s on one finger, and I’m da weak.

When the ties are open, you can use them as soft touches at the edge of the photo, like a curtain, you can tuck them back, you can... options!

And when it’s opened? Look! An alcove! ‘Stained-glass’! Gold accented paper! ‘Hard wood’ floor! You can do a lot with a room like this.

Here’s an included option. The picture frames have glass, interchangeable picture and ‘doctorates’. Silent butler (coat rack), side table (drawer opens), planter, table, chair, and more!

Better look at the ‘diploma’ and the picture. Plant on the table, magazines to read, and a faux leather chair to read in.

This is the included doll. Custom face up, custom outfit, shoes she can stand in *without* a doll stand... I am so happy with this.

The doll is on a ‘ballet Barbie’ body. Not as much articulation as a Made to Move, but you work with what you got. Made a cell phone for the doll as well.

The hands are really good at holding things. I also love that ‘country’ hair.

Okay, look, I get a lot of junk mail. When I can use a part of it for dolls, I will. So this doll comes with a ‘credit card’. Because, she’s got that clout.

So much clout, she’s gonna head out into the world for a little shopping and some brunch.

Here are some detail shots of what comes with this bag-room. Things in the bag: make up, pencil, notebook, cell phone, wallet, credit card, sunglasses, and two earring backs. Magazines? Eight of them. You can see that each one opens, having old style adds inside, so that they give ‘reading’ vibes as your doll looks through them. The shoes. Accented in gold stars and rose details. They are made to allow the doll to stand on her own two feet. Just a little finagling to balance the doll and wham-o! No stand needed. The necklace closes in the back with a simple hook mechanism. I think it’s lovely. Those earrings? That’s why the backs are in the bag. You can wear them. This doll wears human earrings, so they are sharable.

Window time! Stained-glass effect! First insert. Sun rise! Second: Evening. Third: Dawn. The winter scene is a permeant background. Really shows off the glass lines.

A better look at the custom face up. I’m not the best with hair, but I still think it’s not that bad, you know?

Everything that comes with this set.

And yes, as always, it can fit into the closed bag, with room to spare.

Today we got back into it. Despite a few lost days' productivity, we need to keep on track! Behold! A Wall... outline.

Look! Shelves! Wanna know something I found out? Cover your foam board edges BeFoRe you paint. That stuff melts.

See what I mean? I’m going to have to buy some gold paint to touch this up, but otherwise, not bad.

Assembled! And the drawers work! Just... really needs that touch up.

Paper time!

Tadoodle! The wall! Without any accent pieces and such. Added a nice hallway print out I assembled out of a few other images. Composition! It’s all about illusions and stuff.

I tried so hard. It looked so good. Then... then the glue messed it all up. Look at these tools I was gifted. (Thanks @maleficentmrsofallevil​)

I couldn't waste this hair. So... I took three days to root the hair proper.

The face has to come off and be redone, but after 2 days of hair glue drying, and 3 days of boiled, shrink-wrapped head drying as well, this is what we have.

A whole bedroom.

Right side?

Left!

What’s that? Details and close-ups? Oh, you better believe it!

I fixed her very knotted hair. I took care of some pain mess-ups. I added a touch of high-tail (which I love) to give her that lovely teen-collage look. The commissioner asked for the room to match the doll color (which is purple/pink) but not to make it all one color. He was involved with every step. Even the accessories.

Love this. Love it so much.

Such lovely details. Make up, toys. Everything a Jr. High student might be getting into, and already knows.

Yes. That light works. Sadly, the headset does not fit, but it’s a nice touch.

Look how it adds ambiance to the scene. Now, on to wardrobe! Remember that rainbow wall? Well guess what? SECRET CLOSET! (There are surprise mini toys in that gamer bag!) Currently, she’s in her work out gear. With custom peridot earrings made Just for this doll.

I was supposed to make a swimsuit, but honestly? That’s both very hard and a little basic. I understand the child this is for is a little more on the edge for clothes. So we have this. An old-fashioned swimsuit, with a modern edge. The straps cross in the back, then snap in front. There are lace-up sides to add excitement and fit.

This is a summer outfit. Shorts, T-shirt, socks, and some shoes I had to boil to fit the doll. But man! What an outfit. I didn’t make the shoes, but I made the rest, and I am kinda proud of myself.

A couple of detail shots.

A winter outfit? Any chance to make a warm sweater! Oh, and some jeans, socks, and another set of re-fitted shoes. I didn’t make the shoes.

Some details. Socks! Knit! So warm and fluffy.

Pajamas! I had such a hard time picking the fabric for this. Fortunately, the commissioner said: I like this! And wham! Decision made! So happy he picked this one. It’s so perfect!

These are the Real Littles shoes that the commissioner picked out. He picked out others, but when fitting them to the dolls, the souls came off, so... Guess I have some shoe parts to work with now!

Windows? One look? Oh No, no, no. No! Four seasons!

Computer has a changeable screen as well.

How many did I make? Well...

You can see the window slides here too.

More details? Okay! Each of these bags has doll sized toys, and snacks. Even the boxes. This way, the recipient can have the fun of the Holiday with their new doll.

Even more details! Yes, all the posters are moveable, in case they want to put them in other arrangements.

And yes, it does still fold up into that small bag space. With room to spare.

And yes, I can still pick it up and hold it with two fingers. So, it’s light enough for a child to carry. I did add a tie, just in case someone is rough with it.

If the doll sits forward, feet can touch. Back and (with shoes) still good. Perfect height for a Barbie/Ken/1:6 model.

The legs were the hardest part. I was all: ohmahgerbals! What am ah doin! But then it came together.
