Fairyland MiniFee MNF discussion part 68

@LiselT I took a phone photo of my Phoeb elf that I'm currently working on with the Secret Art Studio eyes (or should I say eye) I got for her. Still a work in progress but almost finished I think.

@Blodeuwedd Oh she is super unique! I love her!

My girl came in safely, I just didn't have time to put her together. I will try to when I get home from work today. I am plotting wig ideas to make for her.

 

@Blodeuwedd she looks amazing!!

 

I do. This is my first time getting a custom faceup and AngleToast did an amazing job. She should be here today or tomorrow, and her body is ready.

All I can say is WOW!!!

 

That is some awesome work!

 

@Klaw that faceup is so pretty, lovely and soft but that’s what Angel Toast excels at. I think we’re now all just as excited to see your Phoeb all complete as you are!

Thanks to you, @LiselT, @EmanonUK and @Kirahfaye as well , you’ve all helped me feel a bit less unsure about that faceup. Don’t usually use so much in the way of bold colour so it’s out of my comfort zone.

Nice LiseIT, be great to see what you do, maybe you could kind of use the Celtic triple goddess aspect as inspiration if you weren’t already doing that.

 

@Blodeuwedd I love seeing the more unique, artsy faceups and how people style with them! I can totally see so many ideas for your girl. Knowing me, I'd be thinking something fantasy, like a mage or seer.

Also, eeeeee! My order with my Kyma and the ebony body for my vampire elf Chloe just shipped! I am so excited! I ordered my Kyma with the human fullset but blank, I have a particular faceup I have in mind. I hope to send both her and a few others out for faceup in the summer.

I also put together my gothy Phoeb. She apparently doesn't care to be a triplet at present and is going for a more modern look. I didn't like any of my wigs on her though, so hopefully I will have time to make something I have in mind for her this weekend so I can show her.

 

I finished repainting my Phoeb VE so I can belatedly add to Phoeb spam! (Top is VE and bottom is her OE human head. They feel like they have very different vibes to me.)



Does anybody have an Icarus they can share pics of? I’m waiting on mine to make his way to me and user pics of him in the wild seem to be rare.

 

I have an Icarus, but like not one good pic of him yet, partly as still hunt for a wig that looks good on him.

 

A quick and dirty proof of concept for three wigs I am working on! Two dreaming vampire elf Phoebs and one Celine. Can't wait until the weekend so I can work on refining them.

@Amet Lovely face-ups! I have to paint my duo soon...
@LiselT Your girls look so good!

 

This is one of the COOLEST faceups I’ve ever seen!

I got an email that my mint dragon legs have shipped from DDE! I’m so stoked to finally have my Erda dragon complete soon! I really thought they wouldn’t ship until June!

 

Wao this face looks so amazing and unique. I love looking at everyone’s custom doll face but this is so different, in a good way.

 

Your dolls are gorgeous, especially the one in the purple wig. Do you have more pictures of her she’s just so pretty.

 

@Leo Pheonix Thank you! I am awful about getting photos of my dolls, I really should get a group shot of all my minifee.

@GoldfishMage Thank you very much! I only just got her back from the faceup artist a week or two ago, so I don't have photos of her yet, but when I do I will definitely show them!

I snapped this one so I could actually see how the wigs looked on the intended girls and see what I need to tweak to finish trimming and styling them. Looks like I have a few things to do with hers, hopefully I will be able to do that this weekend.

 

Just wondering, but are the moe bodies typically strung tightly? I have one that came with a bad neck connector. The DDE sent a replacement and I'm just getting around to try to change it and well, she's in pieces right now. I did not plan to restring her, but she is too tightly strung for my weak hands. She's safely back in her box until my hands are have a good day or I get some help. Thankfully the body is for a blank floating head.

 

I also struggle with restringing dolls these days. I think they string them tightly because the elastic tends to stretch out and lose elasticity over time. If there's any extra string past the knots, you could retie the strings to be a longer loop. If there's no extra string, Denver Doll offers string packs. They also have stringing tools, I have one and it is very helpful.

 

I have been thinking it's time for a couple of my minifee to be restrung lately too. They are not holding poses as well as they used to, but I guess 5-6 years isn't bad for needing their first restring? I'm a little nervous though, I've only ever restring SDs, this will be the first time for these ones.

Also, it is a good day! My Kyma fullset in pure white (no faceup, I have to wait until summer most likely to send her out for it), and the ebony body for my vampire elf Chloe head are here!

The ebony resin is just gorgeous. It has this sort of warm purple-y undertones in person. My phone does not pick it up at all, unfortunately.

The new pure white is paper white. I laid my Kyma next to one of my cream white girls and it definitely makes the old white look like more of an antique ivory tone.

I love seeing everyone's different Phoebs. They are all so gorgeous!
And I wanted to share my beautiful Ciel.
