DreamHigh Studio Discussion Thread - Part 2

yes he has the most wiise expression too...I am afraid that the new boy in the middle is a little rascal, but as long as he can come along with the other two it is ok

 

Looking a bit shy yes

 

Have you seen Donny's NEW LITTLE ELF???????? PRECIOUS!!!!!!!!!!

His name is PEPPER "the guardian of secret" ... a 11 cm BJD

 

Oh MY!!!! Pepper is adorable!

 

Awwe, how cute is Pepper!

 

yes I have seen him and he is so .............cute!!....

 

oh my goodness, he is adorable! i'm not sure if i will be able to resist this one. i may have to see if i can rehome someone quick before he sells out!

 

Same thinking Auntbear..............but which one can I miss................oh dear oh dear..........no one of the FloraGang for sure .....

 

Pepper is up for sale! I ordered one!

 

Squeelzers ... I got one too! I just got a paycheck from artwork, so I spent some on Pepper ... which I am not supposed to, but that face was just too adorable!

I've held one of Donny's this size in my hand and they are the same size as a REALPUKI ... but a different shape of course!

 

Already have two dolls ordered this month so I can't get him He is so tempting though.... Why does it seem all the dolls I want are for sale at the same time? *dumps out wallet* nope still empty

 

Ello and Ossia made their way home yesterday. I am bowled over with how cute they both are! I am now a big fan of DreamHigh Studio.

Four finished Fairy dresses by Murjani K, on Flickr

My beautiful Floraline with some of the dresses I was making those time.

 

what pretty dresses, they are perfect for a flower fairy!

 

Muja, I have always loved your fairy outfits. They are so beautiful and detailed.

Working on the Legos Elves castle by Richila, on Flickr
Richi was complaining because I hadn't posted a picture of her in the new thread yet.

 

Thank you the outfits are tiny but the biggest brhhhhh are the schoes .........they really have tiny feet and making pointy shoes is a task. Hm suddenly realized that I never tried to make round nose shoes .......................No thats not true I made ......but only one pair and they are slightly to big
Chi with her new shoes and dress by Murjani K, on Flickr

 

Chi's shoes and dress are adorable! Mine likes to go barefoot!

 

ok, but the firefly's are allowed?

 

Only the "old " Fireflies and dolls Wilma, but not here this is the Donny discussion ground.

 

ah ok understand now......Ah I have two orders running at donny's now waiting for my turtle boy and the christmas elf....they have the same size and can share clothings....I think they can share with realpuki too, but then kura doesn't need much clothings (perhaps an ninja outfit?...and the christmas elf will come dressed)

 

Hihi the ninja only need a mask and a katana. but will the elf celebrating Christmas all the year?
Do you think Kuro can take off his shield?

 

yes the shield can come off...so funny had to think about a tiny ninja turtle when I saw him..:conversation with donny...

• ah sweet turtle, but I can already see me changing him into a ninja turtle michelangelo with his nunchaku( I have one that belonged to my fat-chai from ixtee)...and his skateboard and eating pizza ofcourse......but then if he is more friendly then the ninja turtles he might like me to make him a terrarium and just relaxing in there ..with a longdrink and a parasol...or perhaps he is just a tiny turtle that loves to play with toys and his friends.....my mind is already giving him a place between my other tiny's

  Haha amazing ideas, my son name is Michael Angelo. I also a fan of TMNT so.. You see through me
  
  My concept for the fullset is Guardian of Eden, the turtle is the gate guards the back shell is removable which also can be hold as a shield
  
  I will add a magical spear as the weapon

but if you look at pictures on flickr the front shell comes off too, so he or she can wear clothings without a shield too..

 

Lol, Wilkies I can't wait to see your turtle with mask and weapons.

 

I cannot wait to see my turtle nekkie........hihi I don't think I will put a lot of clothes on him, he is painted beautifully.
Here is the little Cedilla, I am now making shoes better fit with her butterflywing dress.

Richi says "Hi!" to Cedilla.

 

ADAD 2015 Day 334 : Warmth by Richila, on Flickr
Ultrasuede is great for keeping Micros warm.

 

The blushing on him is super adorable! I never found the super tiny dolls to be interesting, but pepper is definitely changing my mind. Those eyebrows are so cute~

 

Oh but tinies are fun. They always fit in a dollhouse and most of them are very very cute.
Cedilla waves hi to Richie too, she is now sleeping but tomorrow she will definitely demand to take a picture for you.

This is an other beauty of Donny ...........her name is Sifra she glows in the dark beautifully.

Shawl or vest ? by Murjani K, on Flickr

 

I love so many of his sculpts. I'm also wanting to see owner turtle pics.

Richila - she looks nice and warm. My poor little ones are still wearing summer clothes. Must try to get them at least one winter item.

 

My newest little one. I acquired her last night. She's so delicate. But wow, does she glow in the dark like a champ. I will have to get out the big camera to try to photograph that.

 

she is so pretty. i'd love to see what the glow in the dark dolls look like glowing if either of you can manage pictures

 

Yes she is a gorgeous girl, CathyM. I love the translucency of the resin. Such an elegant creature.

 

Well, it's a terrible photo, but here she is:



In case you ever wondered what happens to items that the Post Office has to pay out on for insurance purposes, they sell the items. That is where this little one came from. She was damaged in transit (her wings were broken).

 

Oh really ? I never knew the Post Offices sell things, where on which website they sell the dolls ?

 

actually having done a reasonable bit of photography (though not an expert by any means) i thought it was quite a good one for a low light picture! she looks even more otherworldly when she glows like that.

 

You have got to try ultrasuede. I bought a $5.00 bag of scraps and am having so much fun.
There's nothing like a Harley! by Richila, on Flickr
I think this is my favorite picture I have ever taken of Richi. The Harley is a Hallmark ornament.

CathyM that's a really good glowing picture. Glow pictures are notoriously hard to take.

 

that's a great photo. i love crispness of the shot and how you got the angle of the shadow to imply that she is flying down the road. (if you photoshopped out the kickstand , that illusion would be perfect)

 

those look perfect for a cold winters night

 

yeah, he looks like he's in a time out chair in that shot. what did he do?

 

Congrats on the pair, they look adorable. I'm hoping to double up on my layaway later this month so I can finally bring my little one home.

Such a cute shawl (or vest)! Did you make it?

I'm going to presume a long exposure because of the nature of it. It's a really nice photo IMHO. She's very clear and you don't really notice the hand the first dozen times you view it.

 

@MuJa NPS sells freight damaged items, including for USPS.
@auntbear Thanks. I'm glad you like the GITD photo. It was fun trying to get one photo that looked good enough to post
@Marilyn I actually used my cell phone (iPhone 6+. It has a decent camera). Using my DSLR, I couldn't hold still long enough (lost the tripod...again).

 

Since I have no camera and my phone is not nice to me lately I cannot make good pictures at the moment.
I love the glow pictures and I tried it many times but all the times it failed ..........booooo
Because of the beautiful translucency of Sifra I made her a mostly transparent dress and the shawl was nice on her shoulders.

On the table full of beads by Murjani K, on Flickr

And I am happy with the pink mimosa dress too.

https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8493/8382731337_d07532da25_z.jpg Pink Mimosa by Murjani K, on Flickr

Sorry for the bad picture

 

those are really pretty fairy like dresses! did you stitch around the leaf edges by hand on with a sewing machine?

i don't think you can get good "glow" pictures with a cell phone. i don't think you can get a long enough exposure.

 

I sew almost everything by hand auntbear. My sewing machine eats it and I have no patience to try it over and over again. Sometimes when the dolls are bigger and the material is more firm I can use the machine but mostly .........just by hand.
I have painted the mimosa dress first, and cut it and than sew the edges with a .........stitch ( forgot the name of the stitch) this way it will not fry.

Painting petals by Murjani K, on Flickr

 

Your work is so beautiful!

 

Oh that is sweet of you Richila

 

it looks like a blanket stitch to me. the stitches are very tiny! i do most of my stuff for these little guys by hand too. but sometimes i can machine sew if i stitch before i cut it out.

 

Ah yes I tried that also but often I already cut the fabric before I even think about the machine. It is a kind of blanket stitch but I make a knot and not only a loop, it is stronger.

 

do you have a close up of the stitch? that sounds intriguing

 

Maybe you can make the picture bigger on Flickr.

Dress for Isilme by Murjani K, on Flickr

 

I am not sure if it is allowed to post twice, with a picture ...............if not you can remove it
this is not the blanket stitch but a buttonhole stitch. Almost the same but you see a knot above the row. I find it better because it protects the very thin edge. Make sure you don't pull to hard.

 

the second picture makes sense. i could see your stitches in the first , but not how they were different. i'll have to try that. it would be a nice edging on stuff that would look too bulky with a hem you should also come join us on the sewing thread. there are a bunch of really friendly people there who would love to see the dress you make.
