Random Post~Obsessions

I can be a fairly obsessive person. When I like something, I LOVE it. Currently their are two things I am super duper in love with.

1. The Phantom Of The Opera

 I'm a super Phan~! I never knew anything about the phantom until my mom bought me the book. As far as I'm concerned, any book with a chapter called "The Torture Chamber" is worth reading (LOL)

After I read the book, which I loved, I watched the movie. After I watched the movie, I watched the film version of the 2012 musical, which totally blew the movie out of the water~! I've also read the more recent adaption of the book titled simply "Phantom". It was pretty good too~! I am CONSTANTLY singing the songs from the musical, I even have the soundtrack from the original performance in the 80's. Aside from the totally awesome/epic/tragic storyline, I just LOVE the mask~! I've been thinking about making some Erik (phantom) inspired plushies, but of course, if I did, I would have to keep them~!

 

 2.  Pullips

O.M.G. I LOVE THESE DOLLS~!!! I have seen pictures of collectable bjds (ball jointed dolls) before, but I always thought they were too expensive. Then I discovered pullips. They have got to be the most adorable creatures ever to be molded in plastic~!!! Plus if you shop around (I've been to about 20 websites selling them, I'm super cheap XD ) you can get a Dal ( the 12 inch version) for about 80 dollars~!!! Yeah, that is pretty expensive, I know, but most bjds I have seen range from 100-700 dollars~!!

A pullip

I could totally see myself getting addicted to pullips. You can not only change their clothes, but also their hair and eyes~! Some seriously hardcore collectors even repaint their faces....but I don't think I'm brave enough to try that~! XD

A Dal

This is the Dal I am HOPING to get for my 16th b-day (In a few days people~!! XD ) Her name is Lizbel, but I think I would re-name her....If I don't get her for my Sweet 16, I'll have to shell out some cash from my upcoming craft fair. (sigh)

There was a TON to choose from, but the purple eyes won me over.

I thought at first I was super immature for wanting one (or two..or three...) of these. But I've ALWAYS loved dolls ( that's why I make them!). I'm one of those girls that went from baby dolls, to barbies, to American girls, so I guess this is just on step up (?) After extensive research, I've found that most pullip collectors are adults....I don't feel so bad now~! T v T

So here ends my random post~I'm working on some tiny little dolls, and I'll try to have pics up soon~!

  Love,

If At First You Don't Succeed......

Ok, I messed up........Remember the tiny doll from a few posts back? The little red haired girl? Well I made her a bit to big for my customers doll....Observe:

The picture is kinda funny though... X)

Needless to say, I had to make another one .....

Had a bit of trouble on the hair... I worked on it for about an hour!

It was my first time ever really working with thread, It was kind of fun.

I had just bought a pack of tiny black and white buttons, they were just about right for her eyes.

The customer loved the new one!

So I guess, all's well that ends well :)

The new doll was just the right size!....Phew....

Super Duper Teeny Tiny Itty Bitty Needle Felted Hamster!

 This was a super fun and easy project! (I love needle felting...<3) :D One of the little toy capsules that I mentioned became a running ball! X) It's fun to make things so tiny! This could be a hamster for a barbie, or a bjd! Or just a tiny sweet buddy.....He's in my ETSY.


 

The picture was a bit blurry, so It looked like he was running!

Another Tiny Doll

Here are the pics of the other mini doll, as promised!! This one is a little bigger than the last one..about 31/4" tall and 2" wide. I like her boa though X) She's in my Etsy store! :)

 I think the next doll I crochet will be made of MUCH thinner yarn. And maybe a smaller hook.....

My mom gave me a whole ton of capsules, like the kind you get out of a candy machine. I'm pretty excited! I see tiny toys brimming on the horizon!! :D

Commisioned Mini Doll!

 A couple days ago I got a special order for a 2 1/2" doll!It was really fun to make because I could use up some of the really fine yarn that looks pretty, but is rather impractical.

I was happy when I was told to give the doll red hair. :) I happen to love red haired dolls! ;)

I really want to give her a name!! But alas... I have no right to bestow a name upon a custom order....

the eyes look big because she's so small, they're actually about 9mm...or maybe smaller?

As it turns out, this was a doll FOR a doll! My customer said that she wanted a little toy for a small ball-jointed doll. I've seen these little dolls on the internet (blythe, pullip,dollfie...) I'd love to get one, but I guess they are for SERIOUS collectors. Which means way outta my price range lol. I'll just have to make do with creating my own :)I bet it will be adorable to see her sweet little doll holding mine X) I'm working on another one right now,I think she'll have black hair (which I also happen to love) look for some pics of her soon!
