tiera’s faceup

my third full faceup.

tiera is a luts honey delf, pitta. it’s a very sweet sculpt and a lot of fun to play with.

i found it hard to pick a wig for her once her faceup was done. her head was smaller than i’d expected and her new coloring didn’t suit the wig i had ordered with her.  my final choice, the pink wig she is wearing, was cut down from a kemper raven. the bangs were way too long- they covered her eyes- and the wig dragged on the floor in the back.   i trimmed the bangs and cut the back to a more wearable length.

i’ve ordered a couple of black/dark brown wigs for her that i hope will work. i like that color on her as well to my surprise ( i thought since she looked so good  in pale pink that she would end up a blonde -but the dark was MUCH better). i like my girls to have at least one fantasy color and one ‘normal’ color for variety.

unfortunately the only dark wigs i had in that size were too heavy for her features,  so i’ve ordered a soft mohair wig, which i think will suit her much better.

i am quite happy with her overall look right now, very delicate and girly, and look forward to lots more photoshoots.

digory’s new shirt

digory's new shirt

digory was getting awfully hot running around in sweaters all the time, so he requested a new t-shirt. i love the colors and the way the embroidery turned out, but i really need to learn how to sew knits properly, cause the neckline is pretty wonky!

the light breaks through

it seems we’ve had nothing but rain this spring. a picture like this makes the storm clouds worth it

there is just something awesome about light breaking through the clouds, it seems like a metaphor of something, but i’m not sure what…

apple blossom1
it’s been an incredibly rainy spring/summer so far. i don’t remember one like this before. (though that could simply be my faulty memory.) so many days stuck inside and unable to do anything we planned. i needed some cheering up and these pictures, taken on one of our rare sunny days, seemed just the thing!

i found an unusual seed under a cabbage leaf in my garden. i thought it was just a myth that babies are found under cabbage leaves, but you never know….
