A GIANT DOLLY...though it's really a Wood Troll. Still WIP being created by J, but I think it's just fab, even not finished. Also a ton of work is in it already.
From Wood Trolls to Wood Ears: the squirrels are using it for a drinking fountain (ew). It does mean I should get a tree guy to come out and prune some of the branches, since the tree is not well and might possible drop branches where we don't want them dropped. But I'd like to keep as much of the tree as possible, since several generations of squirrels have been raised inside of it.
One of the clothing items I bought from Rajendora (Sewing Box Designs). It's a Cheongsam and it fits both the Fairyland Minifee body and also the Soulkid body (that is what Shushu/Kalypso is on right now). I think Kalypso enjoys being the only girl her size in the house--she has a giant box of inherited clothing from various other dolls that have moved on. (Thistle, the Minifee Moe, is a bit smaller and shorter all around). As you can see, she even has shoes now!
I also repainted my Iplehouse Rebecca (again). I have to say I find Vermont Chick (
As the Resin World Turns on the sidebar) very inspiring as she is willing to keep working on a face until the results match what she wants. Here I still don't like the eyebrows, though they do look better in person. For some reason I can either get the lips right or the brows right, but not both. I still need to glue on her lashes. This is what she looked like before:
I actually liked the brows more on this version-- but the rest of the paint was too light for photos. Dress is by AlisonVonderland.
Here is Isa getting a custom wig--I have kind of settled on a wig making method that uses net underneath and then the yarn gets stitched on. I really should try a glue wig, but I am convinced I will make a mess since I am not "neat" with glue.

Finally, Pele's ..drape? Tapestry? is almost done, you can see it here, being held by Isa:
Little "puffs" of yarn at the shoulder are steam jets :D It will have a loop of beads that will go across Pele's back and hook at her waist to keep it on. I am still making the skirt for her dress, I also need to cut facings for the top edge of the dress. The lace you can see on the table might be stolen by Isa and Pele will get tie-dye lava print fabric for her overdress/ robe.
