LDoll 3

The weekend at Lyon was fantastic. I hadn't been as exited as other years, it had been so overwhelming with the shut down of the old workplace, finding a new job and stressing about basicly everything. I DID find a new job and was only unemployed for three weeks. I cought a cold and it was the worst at the first day my new job started and yet two weeks to go to LDoll. Eventually, I'm so glad the flu went away and I still got some stuff finished before leaving to France. I now post some photos, I wish I'd know how to make a similar cut as in Livejournal, but anyway... to few photos.. And then link to my Flickr for more. ^^ I'll pick up few photos here later.

Bluefairy booth. I went back for several times. xD No surprise? It was great to see some of the molds in real, Yuri was more beautiful and Sam, I really want a ShinyFairy Sam lot more now.

Sam. And some PocketFairies.

Grumpy Andy. ^^

Shoes and parts! I bought many pairs of shoes (btw, the ShinyFairy flat shoes go nicely on Soom TeenieGems too, my Bygg now has shoes! Yay!).

Sseiren booth was next to Bluefairy. Lovely outfits and shoes!

There was so much stuff and fantastic artists, I have to say that these:

Dust Of Doll tinies were so charming it is very hard to resist their cuteness. Uhhuh... I might just end up with one of these if I look them too much! My friend bought one and for my surprise, the PocketFairy panties I've sewn fit these perfectly. ;)

Even tough I first thought that I wouldn't participate as an exhibitor next year I might have to say now, after the event and after this years stress is over becouse I have a job, I think I will attend next year too... It was so much fun and great to see other hobbyists and old friends. ^^ Special thanks to little Aiy for her help in our booth. ^^ It was great to have her with us there.

I sold the unpainted set of MSD-furniture the first day, too bad the Pipos Dali and the painted set didn't sell. (Dali was sold at our Finnish forum ;) she just went to see LDoll first). I had painted and varnished the second set of furniture with basic acrylic paint from a craftstore, painted with cracling laquer and then painted with white paint AND basic crafting laquer on top. The venue hall was so damp after first night the surface of the painted furniture felt really weirdly sticky or so, it didn't stick to the dolls or anything but it felt like it. I thought that was weird, becouse back at home the furniture surface is normal, clear and feels smooth. Maybe the dampness of the building got to it? All the paper stuff was damp after the saturday-sunday night. Anyway, I've got few ideas for the next year. Maybe some SD size things too... if my dad has time to help me with them. ^^

Bluefairy: New Shinies Andy & Paul

Yes, I'm a bit late with this report. ^^ Hehe.

New Shinyfairies Andy and Paul are ok, but I am just a tad bit desappointed in both. I was hoping they'd make some new molds like Benjamin but instead they took Patrick (Andy) and squeezed him in smaller size as well as Denis (Paul). I was a bit meh with them at first, but when I saw the girl versions I thought they work OK. I was hoping Paul would have a fuller lips like Denis have. I rather don't have much to say about Andy. I do think Kanis eyes would fit their eye socket nicer than those acrylic ones (that are OK. Actually Tobias had his defaults many years).

When I look at them side by side, looks to me that they are pretty much identical from the bottom half of their face, only the eyes seem different to me. I would've been more interested in actual girl molds but I think these two work nicely as girls, for me definitely better than boys. Paul has a little hint of Olive~ish in him, tough the line of the mouth is too curved.

Anyhow, I'm safe so far. Until the next year I think I should be. :P I shouldn't be watching any new dolls now, since I need anyway to wait until the LDoll festival in France is over and then concentrate on getting my crew together with their winter looks. I want to make skirts for girls and some trousers for the boys. I don't know yet which kind of things to make. I'm making a nice dress for Tia, but it is not at least autumny, maybe like summery more than autumny. XD Well, she is a good girl and waiting in there beside me. ^^ She's so cute!
