Among the Flowers

(part 1/3)

I recently spent the afternoon hanging out with a good friend of mine who is also part of our local BJD community. We both took pics of our respective dolls amongst the blooming flowers of the Schönbrunn Palace's royal garden.

I took Bubbles with me and found a lilac bush that had the perfect color blooms to match her hair and outfit! The sent of lilacs is definitely one of my favorite floral smells. It was a little challenging to take the pictures as I held her in the bush with one stretched out arm and took the pics with my Canon EOS R and a 35mm Macro lens. My friend came to help by holding a reflector so she was lit from the front as the sun was behind her.

The what is what:

Sculpt: Magic Mirror Fafnir on the flat busted body in raspberry

Wig: unknown synthetic secondhand wig in 6-7in

Eyes: unknown secondhand resin eyes in 12mm

Outfit: juuhachigo on IG

Faceup: me over at @izasfaceups

Today we got a two for one! I painted both faceplates of my Magic Mirror Branwen (fairy and human versions) in quartz skin, which is a beautiful blue-grey. I decided to go super fancy with her faceups, by adding a painted circlet.

There are some small, but distinct differences between the two faceplates. The human one was rounded ears, wider eyes, and sculpted lip lines. The fairy one has pointy ears, narrower romantic eyes, and smooth lips. I still painted them the same so I can swap between them.

Here's a quick pic of her all put together! Isn't she lovely? I love that she's got super voluminous hair while herself being delicate and light.

Among the Flowers

(part 3/3)

I recently spent the afternoon hanging out with a good friend of mine who is also part of our local BJD community. We both took pics of our respective dolls amongst the blooming flowers of the Schönbrunn Palace's royal garden.

For the final pictures, I took Bubbles into the grass and sat her amongst dandelions and my friend made a flower crown out of teeny daisies, which was a little small, but still adorable. I love when lawns are not just grass, but more natural mixes of native flowers, clover, and moss. It just feels nice to have little pockets of nature even within a major city.

Among the Flowers

(part 2/3)

I recently spent the afternoon hanging out with a good friend of mine who is also part of our local BJD community. We both took pics of our respective dolls amongst the blooming flowers of the Schönbrunn Palace's royal garden.

After the lovely lilacs, we moved on to a different blooming bush (a bridal wreath spirea) that had gorgeous tiny white flowers all over. I only had to hold her for the first two images in this set, the rest she was standing (after putting up quite the fight) on her own in the grass. I didn't think to take a stand with me today, but it's okay, once I got her situated she held solid!

This eye-searingly hot pink doll is a Magic Mirror Fafnir in raspberry from my own collection. She'd arrived with the artist's faceup, but I always gotta do my own.

I used lots of shimmers and some duo-chrome watercolor paints on her to really make her shine.

Sadly once again, the sparklies cannot be truly appreciated without a video, so I included one. She's a goober though and kept flaking off the filigree linework along her cheeks before I could seal her. But I won the war in the end and it's staying put!

Quick comparison of the lovely artist's faceup vs my own. Next time I repaint her I will try to put her eyebrows lower and make them a little thinner as they are kind of taking over haha.

If you'd like to see more put together pictures of her, I did recently post her to my bjd photo blog @izasbjdphoto
