Fairyland Feeple 65

I have recently treated myself to a new BJD. A Feeple 65 from Fairyland http://dollfairyland.com/shop/step1.php?number=760

This is the first 65cm ball jointed doll I have bought.  She was a bit daunting at first opening the box and lifting this large and heavy specimen of dollery.  But after I had "played" with for a while and discovered her marvelous ability to pose I soon over came any trepidation I had.

The default eyes she came with were red which I am not too keen on (I have used a red eye reduction in the picture above) and I realised that I did not have a wig to fit. I have ordered some new ones from Leekeworld I was in time to order their Blind Wig Sale but they only had fantasy colours left.  So I might be pleasantly surprised or miffed!

In the meantime I am using a wig that is too small so I have cut a slit in the back and held it on with a piece of ribbon.  She does not look very elegant from the back, bald in fact but from the front I think it gives her a rather wild and exotic look.

Victorian Style Combinations


I then set too making her some new outfits.

Here is a selection of photos of them.

A couple of pairs of Victorian style combinations with plenty of lace and ribbons.

A gypsy outfit to make her look wild and sultry.

And finally a "Wiggle" Dress.

Hope you like them.

I have made a couple of smart dresses for Leya my Dream of Doll MSD sized doll.

They turned out looking like something an office worker or secretary would wear.

Cezch Crystal

Black and White Dress

The necklace and bracelet are made from some Cezch Crystal Beads which I bought on a recent visit there.

Mohair Bolero

The bolero I knitted from very fine grey mohair.  Oh my aching eyes the stiches were so tiny!

Tight Fit

I wanted them to be tight fitting so I put a zip in the back. A tricky job when the top of the dress is white and the bottom black and I had to change cottons half way through sewing.

Both dress are the same except the lace down the front is different and the colour of the beads are also different.





Lace BJD Dresses

I Love Lace!

Been busy working on some new dresses. As I love working with lace I thought I would give all the girls new dresses.

They all have crocheted lacy tops made from a nice silky cotton with a picot edge. Then the skirts were made from various pieces of lace and pleated voile materials.

They were great to make separately but when I put them all together for a group photograph I was pleased with the results.

First a dress for Elin an Iplehouse BID Doll

Then a similar one for Hana my Blue Fairy Doll 

Then finally a more sophisticated version for older "Sis" Dream of Doll Leya

So no one left out no one feeling jealous......... well perhaps just one......ME!

New BJD Dresses

I have been busy putting together some new looks for my Dream of Doll girl Leya.

A light frothy number made of voile and with a shawl made from a piece of antique lace material and vintage lace edging.

 

A couple of quaint dresses and half bonnets made from "tea dyed" cotton with matching dyed lace.
