Beware of the bubble wrap mummy...

I went to the post office today to send Mr. AngelsDoll Michael to his new owner in Germany.
I think she will love his sexy ass to bits! :D

Now comes the time where I bite my nails and hope nothing messes up in the shipping process. I don't know why, but I get super nervous when shipping out stuff. I'm so afraid something could break ;___;" and if so I would feel so ashamed of myself.

So I really hope everything goes smoothly and he arrives as the tightly wrapped bubble mummy I shipped him as today XD

1000 visitors!!!

I just saw that I have exactly had 1000 visitors today! Just wanted to post a commemoration post :'D

Hope to be able to fill this blog with a bit more awesome stuff soon! ;)

Thank you <3

Progress - in a way

I've been on holidays around the country (visiting family) and have therefore been quite inactive in here. Hope to change that now that I am back :D

Yesterday I sold my AngelsDoll Michael to a sweet girl in Germany. She transferred the money instantly and so he will be shipped out to her tomorrow when the post office opens.

I'm really happy he will go to a new home, because I have no interest in keeping him as I don't want dolls his size now. So I'm glad to see him go.

The money for him will be my savings for other doll stuff, and guess what - I've already made a little (!) order from Taobao to celebrate (or something). XD

It's still pending, but I hope the items will be as follows:

This Angel Studio dress for Alice that I've been drooling about for some time now. I think it will bring out her lovely blue-grey skin more.

These shoes for Nellie seeing as her dress turned out orange and these will be better, I think, than the pink ones I got her earlier.

And I bought these - one number 02, and two number 01

I've read a lot of nice reviews about these, so I want to try them out - they are said to be a bit more firm in the brush and to keep their shape for a really long time.

Unfortunately these are extremely hard to get your hands on - at least where I'm from. Everywhere I looked they were out of stock. The seller on Taobao ships these from Korea, so that means I'll have to wait about a month before Taobao can ship this order to me. But oh well, I'll just have to practice with my other brushes.

I also added quite a few eyelashes. They didn't cost that much, but they are nice to have.

So that's it for this time. I think I need to sell the 'old' dress Alice had, because I don't think she is going to want to wear it when the white one comes home XD

Shoe meme

So, Lise tagged me to do this ;)

Rules:

• Take a pic of your doll shoe collection. You can picture all the sizes of shoes you have, even the ones that are handmade/commissioned and so on.
• Answer the questions! They are only six, but you can add more if you are inspired to do so.
• Tag friends so they can continue the meme. 

All of the doll shoes under my roof:

There are even still some shoes for SD dolls and a pair of 70cm boy shoes...I hope to sell them soon. XD

1. Which was your first pair of shoes?
I remember they where those white-with-black-'ribbon'-J-rock-style platform shoes. Back in my teenage years when I was totally J-rock fanatic and had just bought my first doll - a Luts CP Delf Shine

2. Which type of doll shoes do you prefer?
Cute shoes in nice colors or with prints. I really like the Mary Jane silhouette. I also really like if there is some cute detail like a ribbon or a charm or such ;3

3. Do you have any grail pair?
I'm not really the type who has grail stuff...but I would love being able to afford some DollHeart shoes again some time XD

4. Anything that bothers you regarding doll shoes?
Sometimes I'm really frustrated that I cannot buy the same shoes for myself...

5. Do you prefer boots or heels/flats?
It totally depends on the character. But I guess I like looking at heels - mostly if they are sort of artistic or out-of-the-ordinary. I guess that's also why it sometimes annoys me that I cannot get them for myself XD

6. Any anecdote regarding your shoes?

It said "brown" on the Taobao page where I ordered these, but they turned out pretty black when I got them. But I still think they look great and Alice has happily worn them since. These where the first shoe-purchase I did from Taobao, and I was pretty surprised about the quality compared with the price :D


I'd love to nominate someone to do this too, but the ones I know have already been nominated - so easy beeing me. XD


P.S. Today I've been battling my airbrush trying to figure it out. I tried mixing my own paint - using gauge, medium and water, but I think it got too thin. Then again, the airbrush acrylics I've bought turned out to be a little too thick - maybe because I use an airbrush with a very small needle size...idk, but I'm not giving up >_<"

Examstress (x_x")

It's been too long since I last updated ;__;"

I'm currently having my exams for this semester, and they are really demanding most of my time atm. BUT! Tomorrow - after my 2nd out of my 3 exams - I will pass by my local art-store to get the last supplies I need to be able to start off doing all the faceups I need to get done.

A week ago I pulled out my airbrush and compressor, and it turns out the compressor is actually not as noisy as I remembered, so I will be able to use it inside without disturbing my neighbors. :D
That means - I'm (almost) ready to start doing faceups.

First up is my sister's tiny deer girl from Soom (sorry, can't remember the exact sculpt name).
It will be my first time trying to paint fantasy parts, so that is going to be exciting.
But seriously - fantasy parts are a pain in the b*t to clean! oO"

Then I need to finish at least one of my own, before going home to my parents house on Thursday next week. I don't know which one will be the first.

So I hope I'll be able to show off some dollies soon :D

Oh! And I've been nominated to do a shoe meme by Lise from Red Riding Hood - I promise I'll make it this weekend :D (I really need to do something else than just studying for the exam, and the dolls are just a perfect break from all the exam-stuff)
