( May 2025 ) Customhouse Choa! She came with a layer of eyeliner and sealant and nothing else but I tried to keep her faceup fairly light. I was inspired by a Tianba tutorial where they used pastel only to draw the lashes but I did use some paint in the end too.

OC Houses

House: Breakmare

House Sigil: Rearing horse (blue) on a plain background (white); broken chains (light and dark gray) around its neck

House Words: Not To Be Chained

Location: Westeros; the Red Mountains

Liege Lords: House Dayne

Descent: First Men

Founded: Age of Heroes

Founder: Alis Breakmare

Commonly referred to as the Dothraki of Westeros, the horse lords and ladies of House Breakmare are a small but proud and noble people, loyal to few and fiercely independent. Directly in descent from the only Dornish Mountain Clan able to withstand the Andal Invasions and keep – if only for a short time – their independent sovereignty, the Breakmares’ care nothing for the great game of thrones and the lords and kings that sit them. They assimilated into Andal culture and Feudalism to survive, but like the rearing horse, straining at the rope, they did not forget where they came from. They pray to the gods that live in the Septs, they pray to the gods that live in the sky and the grass and the red mountain rock. At births and deaths and wedding beds they sing the words they no longer know, the meaning worn away over time like the edges of riverstones. House Breakmare is  not to be chained, not to be controlled, you may earn their favor, but you must earn it, it is not a right.

The Easter Parade! Now with lilies and final arrangements.

Introductions and close up shots below the cut.

Diane is an Angel Region Dana. She's wearing "the bunny dress" from a porcelain doll. It came with the stuffed rabbit she's holding. It fits her like it was made for her. I believe the hat is from The Doll Hospital. Terry Lee makes straw hats for dolls and I've collected a few over the years.

Neve is a Goodreau Snow White, also wearing a porcelain doll outfit. The hat is glued so permanently to the wig that the whole thing gets worn together.

Alexis is a Goodreau Whisper (resin). She had been wearing her St. Patrick's Day dress but the online poll helped me decide to change her into this outfit. It doesn't fit very well, so I may actually try some alterations after the holiday.

And Miss CeeBee is a Customhouse AI CeeBee. I haven't found her new name yet. Maybe Cecilia?

This is the first time I dressed her in this gown and she is living for it. She might be my Bonnet Girl.
