One last Rainyverse evening wear picture that didn’t make the cut Originally uploaded by norselordspanishlady I finished Nel’s evening gown just in the nick of time (for early-entry prizes, that is). Inspired by late 19th century bustled gowns, and also by...

jdfaceupped 005 Originally uploaded by norselordspanishlady Yeah, that’s about all–just figured I’d introduce the newest doll in the collection. He’s a minimee “JD,” who I was hoping to make look a little less like the celeb in...

So I’m completely overwhelmed this week with deadlines. I’m two dozen buttons from completion on S–‘s dress, which I’d planned on having done last week, but the buttons haven’t come. Plus I had a snafu with my other commission (no...

I just recieved my newest doll–an Elfdoll Lydia (60cm, large bust, BJD). She’s terribly inspiring, and as soon as she has a face (she’s blank) and hair, she’ll make her debut, hopefully with a name. It’s entirely likely that some of my...

I have a part-time job at a Husqvarna store! This is, of course, a wonderful thing, since it means pretty new bits for my Designer I…and maybe a trade-up to a Designer SE. Maybe. I don’t want to post random life things here (I have a LiveJournal for that),...

March 1865 started her life as a Madame Alexander “Dots” Alex doll. I wanted her to be as accurate as possible, so I removed some factory paint, namely from her toenails and fingernails. I really love Alex’s face, so I didn’t want to do away...
