Lomi's Playground - Tumblr Edition

Writer • Artist • BJD collector Gamer • Sleep deprived • Bookworm Mama • Wife • Sister • Kinda goth ♥   ♥   ♥ I made one of these for artwork, but then I never used it. Turns out I'm bad at staying on-topic. My blog is mostly for my dolls, writing, occasional art, and video game stuff. Mostly.

Uh, it’s really hard to match dye in the bottle to what the finished resin will look like, apparently. 😂 #lomisplayground #bjd #wip #hybridbjd — view on Instagram https://scontent-bos3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/118601806_302615894172860_7367066797278649117_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=EMS5dRwPfjQAX8VAdoB&_nc_ht=scontent-bos3-1.cdninstagram.com&oh=f74c3fe88c9268906305d5681193f46f&oe=5F6FF0D0

I wish purples captured well on camera.

I’d started sculpting a pestle from clay before I realized I could just print mortars and pestles instead. Printed these before I made some better adjustments to my printer so they’re not perfect, but I’m pretty sure I can finish them nicely. Can’t wait to set up a nice workstation for my alchemically-inclined dolls. . #bjdprops #dollprops #3dprinting #crealityender3 #lomisplayground — view on Instagram https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/109309919_155001089531856_1255434963171851203_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=I2YYlaIFUxwAX9E5zUh&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&oh=37372fe0ac1da0cdf4f608068cf945ad&oe=5F377F50

Envesi’s robes fit nicely—my regular mage robe pattern printed at 86% to fit the much more slender (and a bit shorter) FantasyDoll body she’s on. I think I’ll be adding some silver trim just to fancy it up a little more. It’s gotta suit an Archmage, after all... . #bjd #bjdsewing #balljointeddoll #asianballjointeddoll #souldoll #souldollparatiisi #hybridbjd #abjd #bjdseamstress #bjdsewing #elfbjd #lomisplayground — view on Instagram https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/107020841_365259184436398_4507940600932252626_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=Ojg5JSetyJ4AX8XEBdt&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&oh=e6c42cc412a3670dc1511e17ab241e7c&oe=5F2F5794

Britches with pockets. Rhyllyn’s final pair will need a little reworking because his modded thighs are much thicker than the ones he came with, but these fit his human parts perfectly. I’ve got patterns for a full outfit for MSD boys coming to my website soon. #bjdsewing #bjdseamstress #bjddiy #wip #bjd #balljointeddoll #dollclothes #abjd #asianballjointeddoll #lomisplayground #rhyllyn #sewing #bjdpatternmaking #bjdpatterns — view on Instagram https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/106914233_130932188659967_3776677482020604301_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=Wjw9cr4y6oIAX8RgzAs&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&oh=89315480d6c979676cf6cb1443644859&oe=5F2DFE42

Hey all! I am organizing a split to get heel feet in the most convoluted way ever~ Please read all information before DMing, thanks! OE Head: $125 - @resin.elves Body: $465 - Available (but if unclaimed I’ll keep it) SP faceplate: $52 - Available (optional) Heel feet: $45 - me Glove hands: $35 - me Premium eyes: $21 - Available (optional) Outfit: $125 - Available Hat: $21 - Available Shoes: $38 - Available Wig: $32 - Available Event head: $tbd - @resin.elves PRICE INFO: Prices have been distributed between parts based on average Fairyland prices to keep things as fair and low-priced as possible. Prices include a tiny markup to cover cost of packaging supplies and transaction fees. I am not charging any organizer’s fees. I obviously have not applied these percentages to the pieces I am keeping because there is no transaction between me and myself :P PAYMENT: Payments are NON-REFUNDABLE. The order will be placed with Denver Doll Emporium to keep domestic shipping costs low. While payment up front is given weighted preference, I will consider layaway with strict terms. Since I don’t know when DDE will open ordering I don’t know when this split is closing, more info will be added as it becomes available. SHIPPING: This split is based in the United States of America. I WILL ship internationally but be warned shipping costs from the US are extremely high. Insurance will be required for both our protection. SHIPPING COSTS FROM DDE TO ME WILL BE SPLIT FAIRLY AND PROPORTIONALLY ACROSS ALL PIECES. Shipping will be billed separately upon the doll’s arrival and will include your share of shipping from DDE to me (the split organizer) and shipping from me to you, as well as any fees incurred. If you have any questions I haven’t answered here, please ask. #bjdsplit #bjdsale #bjdsales #bjdsplits #bjdsplitorder #bjdsales #feeple65 #f65 #feeple65ingrid #f65ingrid #fairylandbjd #dollfairyland — view on Instagram https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/106912610_737053170415162_2419927443360413085_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=TLGwM_6Zfb4AX_GubG1&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&oh=27bb82165d4429631b745a74bdae9b1e&oe=5F2BFEDD

Worked on replicating another pattern for Rhyllyn... needs a couple little adjustments, but I’ll get the pattern finished hopefully tonight.

Yesterday was Rune’s birthday, but I had no new pictures of him to post, because he is still a bunch of pieces in a bucket. Oops. Regardless, happy birthday to my favorite character 💜 His birthday is the anniversary of when his story first popped into my head. He’s been living in my thoughts for 20 years, now. :D And yes, this means that by our zodiac, he’s a Cancer. Do with that information what you will. . #myoc #bjd #balljointeddoll #iplehouseluo #iplehouseeid #hybridbjd #soomhybrid #soommonzohybrid #abjd #iplehouse #moddedbjd #fantasybjd #bjdcollector #lomisplayground — view on Instagram https://scontent-atl3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/106219466_296507311534885_4854713616682490910_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_oc=AQlIpMAUEqbmlYACahPNx-KoP6H1Ou1v2A6vQH80nfh3AJ59xadx7sRa8mv6Sjz7U10&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-1.cdninstagram.com&oh=241a2c0047cbccc05168752503747656&oe=5F1CAE4F

As we approach the end of the month, I wanted to take a second to announce that I’ll be going on hiatus (kind of) for the month of July. I’ll still be sharing things on Instagram and will be posting WIPs and updates on Patreon, but my normal production schedule has been impossible in quarantine so I need time to experiment with new schedules to find something that works better. Because patrons get early access to videos, the hiatus will be on a delayed schedule for YouTube, running from mid-July to early August there. I’ll share more information next weekend, when my time off starts, and if you have any questions please let me know :D — view on Instagram https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-15/104273770_981906928932305_1882020897004402183_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=ClGnbqQYNxMAX_6pmJX&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&oh=f7a2f0e32067d864eda142d6c6fc27c7&oe=5F140736

Firal, modeling some clothes from the tutorials you’ll be seeing the next two weeks. I haven’t gotten my camera out in months... I’d really like to.

Hey, everyone! Bear with me, I’ve got a book update, not dolls... I’ve gotten a couple messages asking what was going on, so I figured I should address it where everyone can see. Where are the invoices for signed copies of book 2? They’re coming. Promise. The thing is... book 2 didn’t arrive. I ordered a crate from the distributor WELL before deadline, and I even paid for expedited shipping. Everything seemed to go well, I was really happy with how print copies turned out, and they were due to be delivered the 29th, the day before the book’s release. Then they didn’t come. And now the tracking on the package indicates my big crate of print copies of book 2 isn’t just late—it’s apparently lost. I hate to say I’m not surprised. Shipping everywhere is a mess right now, what with everything going on. I’ve been in contact with the distributor and they are going to have the books reprinted and reshipped at no charge. But they couldn’t tell me when to expect them to be ready, because they’re fighting a massive delay in the printing department. I don’t feel comfortable sending invoices for a book I don’t have in my hands, so I’ve elected to wait to send the invoices for signed copies. I’m really sorry for the wait, but there’s nothing else I can do about this right now. It’s outside of my control. 😢 I’m working on some extras to make up for the wait. Hopefully the reprinted books will arrive this week, but I have no way of knowing when to expect them until I receive notice that the replacement crate has shipped. If you decide to forgo a signed copy, print editions can be ordered from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Books-a-Million in the US. I think Waterstones has it in the UK, and I’m not sure about other places because... uh, I haven’t looked. I do know it should be available worldwide, but I don’t know how long these companies are taking to ship books right now. If you’d like to cancel your preorder, just let me know and I will take you off the list! Otherwise, I’ll let you know as soon as I’ve heard the replacement shipment is on the way. I’m so sorry for this and I wish I could do more. In the meantime, thank you for your patience! 💕 — view on Instagram https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-15/101030204_605082893446010_21998638899068699_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=MbIFIGeFU08AX8Nid6l&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&oh=c9292c30ddfd28a975328c3359af1502&oe=5EF860BD

Kytenia is more interested in embroidery than books, but Firal is an avid reader. As Firal’s best friend, Kyt feels obligated to keep up with all the latest books in the temple’s library. Most of what Firal reads are connected to their shared responsibilities as healers... Kyt would prefer if Firal would pick up a good romance sometimes. . #abjd #bjd #bjdphotography #bjdhobby #bjdcollector #balljointeddoll #asianballjointeddoll #bjdstagram #dollstagram #bjdsofinstagram #lomisplayground — view on Instagram https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-15/100955203_561275067866402_7620215865659447785_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=zGdOXJp9zZwAX8NhuN9&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&oh=79857da7661abe91864c095f730f47e4&oe=5EF61D2E
