Hi all! I'm rare guest here, but I would like to share my Psyche. Hope you like her.

Wow, she's cute, @Tigrenok! I've seen very few owner pics of Psyche, but the more I see, the more I like her. It's a shame Iplehouse no longer offers her.
I took a little break from writing today and got some shots of Wisp with his husband, Rai-Sui, as asked. Wisp is the Lev sculpt with the default face-up (without the beauty marks). Rai-Sui is an SD Vito Azreal skull and his face-up was done by the very talented Jade Garden. Rai-Sui & Wisp by ID Locke, on Flickr They are part of my Divine Worship world. Rai-Sui is the God of Death & Decay and Guardian of Souls. Wisp is a Shadow Soul and a direct Servant of Rai-Sui's.
@xyuemoto Thanks. Wisp is a gorgeous piece of work. He looks girlier than I'd initially intended for him but whatever. He works it hard and with flair so it's all good.
These dolls are incredible! I never would have thought Iplehouse would have made such extreme and stylized creatures. I used to collect Soom Rosette dolls, and I love their delicate, elongated bodies. And the fairies are sooooo otherworldly! I looked through all the pages but haven't seen a body comparison with Rosettes. Has anyone done one? I'd be super curious.
@Anneke - I no longer have my Rosette Marguerite. Wish I had kept her, but who knew I'd eventually get back into slim, elongated girls. Unfortunately, Marguerite left home a long time before my first CREAA came, so I have no photos of them together. What I did save were the measurements. I also have the measurements for the Rosette Girl body but didn't include them in the comparison below. The major difference is the bust size. The bodies are very similar. Head and wig sizes, as well as eye measurements, differ. I don't know how they'd look side by side. Summer Term Marguerite, which is the one I had, had sleepy eyes, so the fact that they are so much larger (12mm/14mm) might not be so apparent next to a CREAA's 6mm. Terminology differs from one set of measurements to the other. I figure that what Soom calls the "bottom circumference" must be the waist; the measurement is very close to the CREAA-J waist.
@vermont chick Thank you so much for the measurements! I think it makes sense that the eyes would be smaller because of the style of their faces, but wow, the rest of the dimensions are so similar! So cool. I am loving seeing what everyone is doing with these! Also I bet the busts are closer in size for the "girl" body (instead of the "Lady" body)
You're welcome! The bust size for the Rosette girl body is 14.3cm, so not that much closer. I seem to remember that Soom revised the Rosette bodies near the end, but I don't have those measurements. What I've posted is the original body. Looking at the measurements, I wish I had bought some clothes while Soom had them. I made one outfit from a pattern for Tonner's Tyler, which had an exceptionally long skirt and fit perfectly. Unfortunately I gave it away when I sold Marguerite. I still have the pattern; maybe I'll make another for one of my CREAAs.
In my time, they had just added a waist joint and made some with shorter legs, but the busts were the same sizes. It’ll be interesting to see if Iplehouse winds up continuing to support the line with more clothing options and releases
Iplehouse used to offer many more clothing options across all the lines. It's only in the last year or two that they have scaled back. I believe their reasoning had to do with lack of storage space. New doll releases seem to come two or three times a year. Sometimes you can order past full sets with new releases. I don't know if that's still on, or if they sell them only until they run out .
Ah I see! I was surprised all their entire CREAA line was sold out and was just starting to wonder if it was discontinued altogether. It's hard being gone for so long, there are sooooo many threads to catch up on to find all the reviews and milestones of these newer dolls haha :P I started to feel that very familiar tug of new-dollie-wanties looking through their pictures They are soooo lovely!
