studs and chains

Early this year (january), i started my first SERIOUS attempt at making jewelry. I made this studded heart necklace for my shop; and thankfully, people liked it and bought some (also had this in color gold; crown and bow shapes). ^_^

After making my bunch of necklaces i was stuck with a few bits os extra studs and chains that i couldn't use for my necklaces anymore. So what did i do? >>> Recycled them and made a doll dress of course! Haha. My love for dress making started because of dolls, actually.

See how the venue and lighting changes the mood of a picture?

Butterflies and fairies

In my closet, you can find some...peculiar things...

like this and this and these:

Angsty (Emily the Strange dress), Nationalistic (baro't saya in hot pink), Cutesy (bunch o' printed hoodies), Furry (furry stuff)...among others.

...but a fairy costume, I do NOT own. haha. A friend asked me if I happened to have a fairy costume that she could borrow. she needed it asap. lulz, i do not have a human sized one. But i did make some doll-sized fairy outfits about over a year ago:

I love working with themes. If only I had enough materials (given to me for FREE), i'd probably make a life-sized one. I really do prefer making costume-like things. But normal clothes are more wearable. ^_^

-By the way-

Spreading the Pullip Love! My first attempts at clothes making was sewing clothes for my dolls. I have now progressed to creating fashion for "big dolls"!
