Trying something new...

... With my cheap camera. I always thought the "manual focus" thing was worthless ('cuz I didn't know what it was or how it worked). I needed to create the Bokeh effect without using Photoshop and the Macro function >.< So yah, I had to document myself about technical stuff that I can't quite understand yet xD Anyway, my first experiments! Which is your fav one?

Celestina

So I was keeping this wintery head, and he/she needed a body. Chiqui liked it and we decided he/she looked like a she. After some research I chose a B&G body that arrived just today! And despite the resin match looks quite bad in the pictures, it's not like that at all in real life.
She is my sister's first BJD, and the first hybrid in the family xD I did the face-up and chiqui chose the outfit and general appereance. I love size comparison shots so I leave you with these ones!






I think Loren's gonna turn hetero now.

Self Directed Learning

That's the name of the Gened I took. This weekend I finally took some time to do something for my Gened. I've decided I would learn how to sew stuff... For my dolls. So I started with PJ pants for Coltrane. I made a pattern out of the pants I bought for him.

The final result was so ugly that I got depressend and I will never show them to anyone. But then I decided I'd try a T-shirt. I took a SD pattern from FlimFlam's website and resized it about 116% and added some cms here and there. The book steps were very clear, but since this is a Tshirt for a doll and not a human being, the size restriction was an issue, so I had to look at steps on internet and this time I think I got something decent. Now Coltrane has something way less formal to wear and now that I pay attention to him, he looks like some sort of "thinspiration" (which was totally NOT intended). Anyway, it feels good to see the thing fits! This is oficially my third time at sewing something and I'm kinda proud of myself... There's still some finishes that I should work some more but... Hell, it's a doll. He won't complain. So then I went nuts and did another "photoshot" on my well known table.

Not only the book and webpages helped me out some, also youtube did! I've learnt how to wing a bobbin just watching a youtube video xD

PS: I bought the pants.

Loren's here!

Yay! After three months and a half, Loren is here! He's a DOT Lahoo (from DOD) with brown makeup. I was at college when my sister came to my classroom telling me to give a lasagna to my classmates and that my boy came! So when I came home my mom had the box lying on my bed. So I took my camera and started documenting it *_*

That is the box that came all the way from Korea!



That's a box inside another box. "Dream of Dall"



The contents! Two wigs, eyes, extra pair or hands, postal cards and a wrapped thing.



It's a heavy candy!



Here's Loren, eyeless and with no dignity.



Niña wanted to try the box



And here's Loren finally unwrapped and with some eyes I had for him, wearing the default wig.



Loren stood up for first time ^^ (so hard to do on the carpet)



From now on, I just toyed around with his joints, and made him wear several different things.




And this is his final look (for now). Not with those glasses tho, I need to find nice emo glasses for him.




OMAKE!
