A daily dose of cuteness

Here are some BJD photos I took on Tuesday~ I uploaded them on my Flickr and DeviantArt accounts already, but thought that I could put them here on my blog as well :) I wish I would've taken more photos, but the weather wasn't the best possible (so windy and a bit rainy..) and I was afraid to pose these two SD sized dolls all by myself, I don't want them to fall and break their noses or fingers ; . ; Maybe I'll get to take some more shots once Sarg comes for a visit again and can act as a bodyguard in case either of them decides to fall XD

On left we have Ceci (Iplehouse nYID Emilia) and on left is Jade (Iplehouse nYID Mari) ^^ These two are best friends in my and Sarg's RP story and they're also in the same class at school. By appearance they may look quite different, but they both have rather insecure and shy personalities and also share lots of same interests (like cats and Hello Kitty, lol).

Jade is probably explaining how to bid on Yahoo Japan's Hello Kitty auctions or something... X''D

I've previously shared pictures of Jade with a black wig and black/pink color themed outfit, which is what my original plans for her style were. I'm usually very precise about what kind of style and colors I want my dolls/characters to wear, but with Jade I guess she'll get to be a bit of a chameleon and change between these couple of different styles. Her natural hair color is black, but she likes wearing colorful/pastel wigs sometimes and dressing up in pastel goth or gothic lolita ^^

Jade's pastel goth outfit took quite a while to get 100% completed, I think I slowly worked on it for a couple of months... It did took time to gather all the materials and plan the designs, but mainly I'm just such a lazy bun and have zero skills at concentration that everything takes a long, long time ^^; It doesn't matter though, for I love all the planning, designing, sewing and crafting, even if it seems to take a forever ♥

I'm not sure if any of my dolls has ever worn this much self-made stuff at once X'D Basically everything except the bag and shoes is self-made... The wig was originally long and curly, but I was bored one day and gave it a radical haircut :D I really like the result! (Yup, I have a thing for bob-cut hair, it's sooo cute...)

The skirt is actually made of a children's skirt that I had to buy after seeing it on sale X'D I would've wanted it in my own size, but they only had sizes up to 122cm and there was no way I would've fitted in that... So I unleashed my disappointment by tearing it apart and using the fabric for a doll sized skirt hahaha XD

For the shirt, I wanted to create something simple, but with some nice little details (like the studs on the neckline). I browsed through a bunch of pastel goth shirt designs while trying to figure out what kind of print I'd want on the shirt... In the end I didn't want to go for an already existing design, but to create something fun of my own! The leggings have simple crosses that I painted as well.

Then there're all the million accessories; hairband, Hello Kitty bow hairpin, rose/leather choker, star-shaped earrings, cross necklace, pastel bracelets and black stud bracelet... Shortly, a lot of stuff ^^;

For last, here's a full-body shot of the outfit ^^

  1. Hii, ihana blingiräjähdys <3 Tykkään näistä mimmeistä, yleensä kun Iplen leidit stailataan jotenkin tosi kohtalokkaiksi ja vakaviksi mutta nämä on tämmöisiä söpöjä kawaiitypyköitä ^_^ Miau! <3

    1. Hih~ Blingistä en tiiä, mutta räjähdys kaikkea muuta mahdollista ainakin XD Iteltä löytyy pari tällaista kohtalokasta ja vakavampaa Iple-neitoa myöskin, mutta joskus on hauska kokeilla jotain ihan erilaista + tykkään muutenkin että nukeista löytyy äärilaitoja, jotta on jokaiseen fiilikseen jotain kuvattavaa jne. :) Välillä on kawaiityttö-fiilis ja välillä tykkää kohtalottarista XD

    1. Oih kiitoksia paljon, mukava kuulla ^^ Oon kyllä tyytyväinen että tuli se lastenhamonen napattua ja pääsen nyt sitten ainakin nuken kautta iloitsemaan tuosta ihanasta kankaasta~ Kaikenlaiset pikku yksityiskohdat sun muut on sydäntä lähellä ja koruja sun muuta on hauska väkerrellä :)

  3. The outfits are gorgeous! :D I like your sense of style a lot. It's cute and interesting.
    Your girls are both very beautiful :)

    Also I really like bob-cut hair too. ^^

    1. Oh thank you so much, glad to hear if you like ♥

      Hahah I wonder what it is about bob-cut hair that makes it so irresistible and cute X'D

  4. Ohh Jaden tyyli on niin rakkaus! Ottaisin tuollaiset vaatteet itsellenikin enemmän kuin mieluusti! ^3^ Taas kerran täytyy todeta, että vaikka en aiemmin ole niin Iplehousen nukeista itselle välittänyt niin sinun ihanat nukkesi saavat minut katsomaan Iplehousen valikoimaa ihan uusin silmin. :D

    1. Kiitoksiaa o3o Joo ite yritän olla joku osapäivä-pastelligootti ja Jade saa nyt sitten toimia tällaisena miniversiona~ (mulla on oikeastaan yksi toinenkin pastelligootti nukke, yksi Soomin pikkukeijuistani)

      Se on aina mukava kuulla, jos omat nuket herättää kiinnostusta firmoihin/moldeihin joista ei muuten ole niin kiinnostunut! :) Oon itse kyllä ihan myyty Iplen nukkeihin, näiden kropat on vaan niin ihania ja kasvot myöskin, tykkään kovin näiden realistisista piirteistä~ Ja näistä on moneksi, pitäisi ottaa joku ryhmäpotretti kaikista Iple-tytöistäni: nämä on kaikki kuin yö ja päivä X'D

  5. you did a great job on their looks. You totally nailed it with the pastel goth thing, and that print you designed it's actually very nice, you could actually sell a human sized version I'm sure! XD

    1. Love to hear that, thank you!! ^^ I think the most challenging thing with pastel goth is balancing the cute/pastel stuff and creepy/dark stuff... But challenge makes it even more fun!

      I'd definitely love a shirt like this for myself too, then I'd be shirt twins with Jade! XD

  6. I love their deco looks x3 they look like they could walk right out of shinjuku station and go shopping there ~ x3

    I love the idea of living vicariously through your dolls - let them wear all the stuff we wouldn't or couldn't wear in real life! Hahaha :D This is why I love sticking all my girls in extremely fabulous high heels!

    1. Oh thank you, that's a big compliment for me! ♥ I do love decorating and it definitely shows from my dolls X'D

      I actually like wearing both of these styles myself too hahah X'D Though I guess my pastel goth is less gothic and more pastel/cute... Sometimes I'm just too lazy to dress up myself, but I never get tired of dressing up my dolls! And they definitely have better clothes and stuff than me, lol... I do often think like "okay, I don't need that for myself, I'll let my dolls wear something like that" XD Some of my girls wear very elegant, aristocratic gowns etc. and that's something that I couldn't/wouldn't wear myself, so the dolls get to do that on my behalf :p

  7. You have done excellent work with putting together Jade's look! I thought everything was bought until I read you had done them yourself :) Although a bit discouraging since I want a pastel gothy look for one of my Teenies but have zero energy to start crafting >_<

    Ceci is still one of my favourites of your dolls, since she looks so fresh with whites and pinks. Had to mention that not all comments would be solely of Jade :D

    1. Thank you :) I really hope you'll be able to get a pastel goth look for your girl to~ I know the feeling of not having energy for crafting, it took a lot of time for me too to be able to finish everything ^^;

      Awww happy to hear that~ I must admit that Ceci is one of my most precious dolls, though I try not to play favorites since it always makes me feel so guilty X'D

  8. It is incredible how much work you put into her outfit!!! I loved reading all the descriptions you did, the painting on the leggings must have been very difficult!
    Ceci is looking adorable, as always. She is so cute :3

    1. Thank you so much ♥ It was a lot of work, but I like working on my dolls so I don't mind ^^ I'm happy with the end result and glad to hear that others like it too~

  9. Nämä kaksi tytsyliä ovat aivan liian ihania ! Tykkään kyllä, niin hirmusti näitten sun nukkejesi vaatteista, kun ovat noin yksityiskohtaiset !! ❤ ‿ ❤
    Minusta, nuo nukkesi näyttävät ihan, kuin eläviltä ihmisiltä varsinkin viimeisessä kuvassa oleva tyttönen (✿◠w◠) ~
    Hyvin olet nuket stailannut, sekä yyber hyviä kuvia saanut otettua! ❤
    Minä kyllä pidän aivan sairaan paljon (tai enemmänkin.. n u n) noista nukkejesi vaatteista, mistä noin ihania vaatteita voikaa edes saada?. ♡u♡

    1. Kiitoksia hirmuisesti kehuistasi, tässähän ihan punastuu ;3; Kumpikin näistä tyttösistä on tosiaan Iplehouse-nimiseltä firmalta ja heidän naamansa ovat ihanan realistisia ja ihmismäisiä~

      Suurinosa vaatteista tulee tehtyä itse ^^; Vaaleanpunaista takkia ja kissasukkia lukuunottamatta kaikki on itsetehtyä näissä kuvissa! En koe mikään mestariompelija olevani, mutta vuosien saatossa on sentään jotain oppinut ja voi edes vähän olla tyytyväinen omaan kädenjälkeensä... Eipähän nukkejen ainakaan tarvitse olla nakuna XD
