Welp I haven't posted here in several years. I don't know if I'll be able to keep up with tumblr again but we'll see! Trying it out again now that DoA is dying.
I did a quick photoshoot of this girl before wiping her faceup. I'll try to redo it next week, now with the knowledge I acquired from my first attempt. Wish me luck! #bjd #abjd #balljointeddoll #doll #dolls #dollstagram #dollsofinstagram #bjdsofinstagram #legitbjd #loongsoul #loongsoullianpian
I took these photos of Natsumi for a challenge on a group I'm in but ended up deciding they didn't quite fit the theme. I thought they still looked nice enough though so I figured I'd post here instead. :'D #bjd #abjd #balljointeddoll #doll #dollstagram #dollsofinstagram #bjdsofinstagram #legitbjd #loongsoul #loongsoulmeiji
I did my first faceup today! I've made a few mistakes, but I think I did pretty good for my first try. Plus, I had a lot of fun doing it. Sadly I only have one can of sealant, so I'm not sure how many faceups I'll be able to do with it, but I hope to keep practicing and getting better :D . Still need to decide her name though... . #bjd #abjd #balljointeddoll #doll #dollstagram #dollsofinstagram #bjdfaceup #faceup #loongsoul #loongsoullianpian #yunadoesfaceups

I did a thing today! I'd been meaning to get all my dolls' papers in a folder for a while now. Now everyone has their CoAs and manuals organized along with their names and the day they came home. My Lianpian's missing a name on her tag because I'm still debating between two names for her (yes, I know it's been over a year, shhh) and Gelinho's CoA is missing because I didn't get it with him and my taobao dealer is holding the replacement with them until I place my next order with them, but I wanted to keep everything in the right order so his space is saved for when it arrives. All in all I'm quite pleased with the results! Looks very organized.
And here's a closer photo without the smaller dolls! Look how tiny Miki looks next to Natsumi, haha. What can I say, my fox lady is just really tall. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Wish me luck when the time comes to shell characters who are meant to be even taller, haha #bjd #abjd #balljointeddoll #asianballjointeddoll #legitbjd #doll #dollstagram #dollsofinstagram #fairylandbjd #volksdollfiedream #loongsoul #angellstudio #iplehouse #feeple65chloe #ddh06 #loongsoulmeiji #angellstudioxishi #iplehouseeric
I know I haven't been very active here, because Instagram is much easier for me to use on my phone. But I finally configured it to share to my tumblr as well so hopefully that's going to change now. Sorry :'D
I'm a little late but here's my first crew shot of the year! Last year I established I'd start each year with one of these to see how my collection evolves through the year. This time I decided not to include the floating heads in the photo. So, what changed in 2017? That's the year I got Loki, Miki, Gelinho and the birds Birb and Burd! That's a lot of firsts right there. First boy, first dyed doll, first vinyl doll, first doll from each of their companies... I also sold my Elizabeth's body, which was my first time selling a doll (body), and I'm very happy I was able to do so. I was also able to order a Venitu head, which is something I never thought would happen, and was gifted a body for Haya, which I DEFINITELY never thought would happen! I'm starting to gather the supplies to begin doing faceups, and hopefully this year I can get decent at that at least! I also hope to make more and better wigs. Here's to a wonderful 2018! #bjd #abjd #balljointeddoll #asianballjointeddoll #legitbjd #doll #dollstagram #dollsofinstagram #fairylandbjd #volksdollfiedream #loongsoul #angellstudio #iplehouse #dollchateau #papersakura #hnest #feeple65chloe #ddh06 #loongsoulmeiji #angellstudioxishi #iplehouseeric #dollchateausnowman #papersakuraxiaojui #panguin
Happy 2nd birthday, Haruka!
It was actually yesterday and I forgot, because I suck
So about that update
Thank goodness Tumblr actually allows me to use the space bar on text posts. What’s up with it not letting me on photosets? But anyway. I’ve been very inactive here on Tumblr for quite a while, so I feel right now is a good time for an update about my crew. No photos because the last thing I want right now is to fight Tumblr AGAIN. Sorry :’D So, going in order of arrival...
Haruka is still pretty much the same. I haven’t been doing much with her because I’m starting to question if I want to keep her in the body she’s in right now. Besides, she looks so cute in the pose I left her now that she has a stand, I don’t have the heart to change it. I’ve also been considering the idea of just flat out reshelling the character entirely, getting a different body for this head and doing something else with her. But that’s gonna take time and money so we’ll see.
Teiwa has that pretty new outfit and new staff I made for the triathlon, so there’s that! I’ve also recently had to glue her eyelashes back on and I did a good job, if I do say so myself. They’re sturdier now. Other than that she’s pretty much the same.
Saga is trying to drive me insane. I hadn’t been doing anything with the doll ever since she arrived, so recently I changed her clothes to see if it’d help. I then started changing her character around a little bit to see if that got me more excited to work on her, and it did, except now she outgrew her shell before I could even customize it. ‘orz Only now I’m super in love with the character so I really wanna get her a new shell. I’m selling her body to hopefully help with that (or trying to at least, you know how it goes in this hobby), and fingers crossed that I get some money for my birthday in December so I can possibly order her new shell then. I’m a little unsure on what doll I want for her, because I have this idea I really love but it involves a mod, so I wanna see if I find something that fits what I want without needing mods first, because I don’t wanna have to send her abroad... But I might have to. In the meantime, the head currently known as Saga is away in a box for safe keeping while I figure out what to do with her. I don’t want to sell the whole doll at once because she was limited and the closest thing to a grail I’ve had so far, so I’m scared I’ll regret it if I sell her.
Pinguinho is fine and wonderful as always, though he’s full of chips on his blushing, poor thing. He came with me to the US in June and I documented his adventures there on my Instagram, if anyone would like to see.
Natsumi and Haya are still pretty much the same. I only have one body for the two of them and not enough willpower to keep switching them around, so Natsumi gets to be out all the time and Haya gets to sit in a box with ex-Saga’s head. Another part of me says I should invest in a body for her before buying a new Saga, but eeeeeh we’ll see.
Loki arrived at my friend’s house on the same day as I did, haha. He’s my first (non-penguin) boy and he’s really special, though I wish his body was more fun to pose. But I knew what I was getting into when I picked this sculpt. He was dyed by Psiiconic and then blushed and faceupped by Mirrorada, so that’s pretty damn awesome. He only has a super simple quick outfit I made him for the triathlon so far, but fingers crossed I can remedy that soon. He also has the first wig I ever made, which is kinda ugly but hey, it’s my first and I’m reasonably proud of it. Someday I’ll give him the photoshoot he deserves.
Gelinho is my Snowman from Doll Chateau and he arrived at my friend’s sometime during the trip as well. I had never thought I’d love a DC doll but look where we are. Sadly I can’t get him to stand on his own for the life of me (I didn’t have high hopes of doing so, but...), and the stand I bought for him has been on the way for a good two months now thanks to an infuriating situation with the post office. Don’t even get me started. So he kinda just exists for now. :’D
I also have a little Roron faceplate I bought for faceup practice. She doesn’t have a name, or a body, or even a headback for that matter, but that’s okay. She’s also smaller than my other (humanoid) dolls but she’s so cute and I’ve wanted a Unoa forever so there’s that. I’ll probably want to get her complete someday.
Mikiko, aka Miki, is my very first vinyl doll. She’s a Dollfie Dream Sister with the type 06 head that I bought at the Volks booth at Anime Expo while I was in the US. She still needs smaller eyes, the right hair, a faceup and more clothes (because I want to drown her in adorable outfits), but she’s super cute already.
I’ve also done a group order on Alice’s Collections (aforementioned package with the doll stands) that includes two little Paper & Sakura birds that I have been in love with since ever and am so excited to finally get my hands on. <333 I got one with a faceup and one without, I plan to customize the blank one to look like my late cockatiel, Billy. Still not sure what I’ll call the other one.
Last but not least, I also placed an order for a Blackbox Mochi, which I’d been waiting to go on preorder since early this year so I’m very glad I was able to afford her when that happened! She should be shipping sometime this month or next, if the estimate from Angelesque is right. Fingers crossed! Her tentative name is Orihime, but I’m still figuring that and her character out. She’s coming in blank so I’ll have to figure out how I want her customized, too.
So that’s the crew as of today! It’s amazing how big my collection has gotten. I don’t think I ever expected this when I first joined the hobby (maybe a little bit). I look forward to seeing how it continues to grow. :D
Last one! The third task involved taking a photo of the doll's fate, so I had to improvise a bit since I only have one other doll from her story shelled right now, and at the time he was still bald. But it worked, sorta? :'D I still wanna do a better photoshoot with Loki once he has better clothes and stuff. Once again, the rest of the photos are all on my Flickr and to be honest I'm a lot more active on Instagram so if you guys want to see more frequent updates about the crew, that's where you should go. I'll try to do a little update here later too though.
Here's part two with a few photos from the second round of the triathlon. For that round we had to make a prop, which I just might be even worse at than sewing, but I'm stubborn so I kept trying until I made it work. :'D It's my first time using paper mache but I like the result overall! Once again, Tumblr hates me for some reason so sadly you'll need to go to my Flickr for the rest of the photos. 'orz Sorry
So after over a month trying to post these properly, I give up. Tumblr refuses to upload all the photos and for some reason I can't use the space bar on the description (I'm typing this from notepad and then pasting it, how sad is that). So I'll just upload a few of the photos and you guys will have to go to my Flickr if you want to see the rest of them, sorry. :c Here's a few of the photos I took for the first round of the triathlon on Den of Angels this year. I have very little experience with sewing, but I think the outfit turned out lovely! Tei has been wearing it nonstop since I made it, haha.
For the record, I’ve been trying to upload the photoshoots I did for the DoA triathlon for ages now but my browser just hates me. It’s on my flickr though so maybe check there instead, idk.
Happy birthday, Pinguinho! Today marks the day this cutie arrived here at my home exactly one year ago. I’m so happy to have this precious baby here with me that I gave him an eye burning photoshoot and I’m only partly sorry.
What I am fully sorry for is disappearing. Sorry about that! I’ve been away and well, IG is just way easier to post from my phone on, so I’ve really only been active there. My bad!
