Charm Doll Minis

@Holstein How did you read my mind? xP This is my first doll in 3 years so I will definitely make a box opening! xD

 

@kurogane Yeah, you should be getting your boy home soon as well! I'm relieved it wasn't a 5-month wait, like LS, haha.

Of course I don't expect top quality from a company faceup, but I think they at least could have gotten the eyebrows symmetrical xD Plus, they put a lot of glitter on his face, I wonder if that's going to look strange in photos. Well, I will see when he arrives, at the very least I'll get him repainted in a few months.

 

@kurogane I had no idea you didn't need MSC with airbrushes? I'd really like to get into faceups myself, but I'm way too insecure about that (Though I know that from time to time you just have to... do it.)

Also cutting up a decent pair is indeed sad. Maybe try your luck at flea markets? Or at second hand shops. ^^


I should really get to making stuff for my dolls. Now it's vacation I don't have any motivation at all, but during the schoolyear i'd complain I have no dolly time. I should just grab my sewing machine and go. <-<


EDIT: glitter in his faceup? :0 I haven't noticed as well >-< Glad you guys' wait are almost over! ♥ I'll have to wait another month or 3 I assume. (ordering through dealer soooo it's taking a bit longer i suppose ~_~ )

 

@Heliotropium You should totally make something! It's fun! I recently made some cute flower crowns and I've been practicing crochet to make some hats or little accessories. I wish I could sew, but I don't even have a sewing machine.

@kurogane I'd say an airbrush is a good investment if you have many dolls, but with all the supplies it seems quite expensive indeed. I prefer to commission faceups and I've only had pleasant experiences so far.

Maybe glitter is the wrong word, it's like....tiny shimmery particles all over his face. It's a bit much, haha.

 

@kurogane ah man! The regret of throwing stuff out once done with school. Haha. Well, if you're already Involved with faceups and think it's worth spending.... Do it! Maybe you could even do commissions in the future! And yeah, blank dolls are growing on me as Well with Hazel. Though I hope to see her with a faceup soon!

@Athenril You know what? Today I totally did. I grabbed my fimo, my fake flowers and other stuff i could use, and I totally made some Jackilope inspired flowercrown for Dauw (Fons' (Renard) sister). :3 and im so satisfied with the outcome, and I had so much fun. Also made horns for Hazel which I will make a flowercrown later for.
With the leftover Fimo im going to make Mickey Mouse ears for my non-BJD doll who will travel with me to Disneyland Paris! Me and my boyfriend are going to semi-cosplay Red Queen and White Rabbit when in Red Queen's court and my doll will be dressed as Alice, so the headband Will be Alice themed :3
(Hope it's okay to talk about this x.x)

AND! I just checked my dealer, and since Charm doll belongs to Loongsoul (and it says so on my receipt too), I checked when she'll order with Loongsoul and it's the 27th of this month wooo! *Running around like a madman because I had coffee*
Sidenote, I hope you get your dolls soon enough, although it's going to take a little Longer for you, @kurogane

 

@Heliotropium That sounds great! I'm a huge fan of everything Alice-themed, I hope you'll have a great time! And I love making flower crowns, I finally found some tiny flowers in a local store and it's super cute. Hopefully you won't have to wait long for your boy, CD seem like they deliver within the promised dates.

And in case we've gotten too off-topic, Charm Doll released a new 42 cm girl, Joyce Joyce, 42cm Charm Doll Girl - BJD Dolls, Accessories - Alice's Collections She's pretty cute!

 

@Athenril Lucky! I have a hard time finding small, pretty flowers. Most I've found are crappy, too big, too "fake". BUT! When cleaning the atelier at school (as one of the few 10 from a group of over +50 people) before summer, they found this huge box of decorative flowers with..... yep, decorative flowers that are PERFECT. and you know what? I took them XD Other people were snatching up clothing (it was a huge clothing stock we were cleaning up) and I snatched up those 8) I finished the Mickey Mouse ears today as well and I adore them ♥ now I'm all set for disneyland I have no idea when I'll have Renard, but I'm not going to worry about it. The shipping note will come in a few months ^^

And Joyce is adorable, wow! I love the combination of the faceup and the skin color on the stock photos, along with those pretty eyes. But I'm safe though, not really the "wow i want!" feeling like I had with Renard.

 

My Renard arrived! He's very cute, but not what I expected!

Here is the box opening: https://denofangels.com/threads/charm-doll-renard-naked-doll.751693/

 

@kurogane Thank you, but I think that would make things too complicated. I've kind of warmed up to his faceup as he's been sitting next to me here, so I don't know how soon I'll get him repainted. Here's a fancy beauty shot I took before the sun disappeared. I'd like to get him a different wig and eyes, but I don't know what kind yet.

Oh he's so precious! What a sweet little face! And those ears! Did he come with that outfit? If not where did you get it? It's so foresty! Congrats! @Athenril

 

@Athenril Oh my lord, he's gorgeous. I know he's just borrowing things, but I totally love your pastel mori-esque aesthetic for him, ahahaha.

Your pictures show off is sweet, droopy eyes so well. Aaaaa~ (I'm gonna post in your box-opening thread later so more people can experience him haha).

 

@CalamityoftheStorm Thank you! No, he doesn't come with that outfit. The shirt and pants are from a company called Amors, the necklace and flower crown was made by me, and everything else I've bought from Taobao over the years.

@Holstein Thank you! The mori kei style is my absolute favorite for dolls, but it's also a real struggle to find clothes in that style xD I am so happy he can wear those shoes, I've had them for ages and none of my dolls could fit in them before!

 

I dug out a different wig and eyes for Theo, it's actually a YoSD wig, but it fits him easily.
