Fairyland LittleFee Discussion Thread - Part 34

I know! I have bought heads for dolls to "give them a different look" and then have had to find bodies for those heads because they took on a personality of their own.

After drama over a second hand purchase was finally resolved, I decided to get Ante brand new. Because I was discouraged during the process I didn’t really prepare for her so I’m not settled on her look yet but wanted to join the thread and share a quick picture. I know this sculpt is one of the most common but she’s the one that got me interested in Fairyland.

 

I think you will love Ante. She has such a look of wonder and she can look quite different depending on the eyes and the wig. Littlefees are usually very easy to pose and I just love their size!

 

Congrats! I'm glad you got your little girl. She's darling.

Wiishu was headed for a con with a dinosaur expert as GoH (we had to cancel due to health) and wanted to share his new dudzes:

I debated whether to adjust the stuffing for the feet, but those pink tennies poking out underneath were just too cute and so reminiscent of the "good old days" of costume competitions.

 

@Dollquest, I do love Ante and she’s drawing me in…now I want Leah and maybe one or two others so far

@Vindalootoo, Wiishu is a Littlefee ambassador, love his dino suit, especially with the pink tennies

 

Thank you! He certainly tries. Since I go to SF cons rather than doll cons, he has managed to convert a few people...and cause others look askance at your truly! But we don't care. As long as they smile! One thing I was noticing taking some shots for this con, I really need to make getting his original faceup reproduced a priority. He gets handled a lot by all sort of people, and he's sadly scruffy. I refuse to wipe that original faceup, so I need to dedicate myself to capturing whatever that look it has in a blank face. I'll probably be whining loudly here this spring as it eludes me.

 

My first LTF girl was Ante. She's the queen.

It would be difficult to trust that a doll’s original faceup could be duplicated, I’d be nervous but I guess if it’s a little different it could be like a makeover for Wiishu. If I was in that situation I might be tempted to get a duplicate faceplate instead of redoing the original.

 

My LOVELY Ante!!!

 

Oh, absolutely! Thought I'd made that clear. No, the original will not be touched, though it really needs washed, which I can do without risking more than the blush that my friend Sim added in the first year I had him. I've got...three(?) at least, backup plates and at least two sleeping faces. When I finally sit down to try to duplicate the original...which is as much in expression as anything...his eyebrows are just, well, different, and I've tried twice to get FL faces to replace it. One of them is close enough for what we call his "adventure face"...it goes on the road with us now, so if he faceplants he's not risking the original, but the other is just all wrong. It really is mostly the eyebrows. I think I know the right angle to go for, but I've so far been too chicken to try anything more permanent than sketching them in with pencil. I let everything get between me and the attempt. I've got tons of faceups to do now...got a big crew all at once from Granado, and by the time I get through those, I'll have a lot more confidence to tackle Wiishu's

 

I did misread it…post holidays and covid brain hasn’t been nice, lol!

 

Oh, noooos. Wiishu sends you get well hugs and is very grateful for your concern.

 

Vindalootoo, which conventions do you go to? I do a BJD panel at mine, but I take the kiddos whenever I travel, especially to other conventions...they're such great ambassadors.

She's lovely, and her outfit is quite stylish, even matching shoes!

 

Since we are all sharing our Antes, mine didn't want to be left out! She hates it when I dress her in Barbie clothes, but it was for an IG photo challenge.

Thank You!!!

 

The last two years...none! And these days, other than local ones, only those we're invited to as guests (my partner and I are both authors) And, yes, these little squirts are wonderful ambassadors!

 

I firmly believe everyone needs an Ante. Alllll Antes are gorgeous and there should be infinity of them!

Today I had the MOST EXCITING mail. I got Marketplace recently and when I went through allll the pages I found one of my grails, a Juri14! Even better - she came with a body! I'd already planned to change Ally's Rara face to Juri if I found her (because Juri14 on baby body is the cutesttt), and as-then-unnamed Halloween17 was waiting for a body so it all came together, thanks to @Chamillia ^^

Allow me to present Ally/Allie (Alocasia) & Saffy (Sapphire)..



I will redo Saffy's face at some point because now she knows who she is it's not her, especially the lips. But. I am SO HAPPY!

 

Congratulations! What a darling pair.

 

Hello! So I made a Littlefee hybrid awhile ago but used a Chicline head back. I have another I want to hybrid, but it'll be with a Littlefee headback, does this for sure need permanent modding for it to work with another body? I'm kinda hoping I don't have to.
