I have some fun incomings for Melangell and my other SD girls!
Melangell and Poppy are getting some new Leekeworld wigs to share. I have bought them an LR-020_E in Natural Black from eBay, so that arrived very quickly. The other two are LR-102_E (blonde bob) and W074_E (pink with braid) and both are Natural Black too. These wigs are part of a Leeke GO I joined, so it will take a while for those to arrive.
The strawberry camera and crown headband are by Kuloft from Etsy. I bought a pair of antlers from Kuloft for Gwenllian and they fit her very well so I thought it was a safe bet to go again, but my parcel from Kuloft arrived this morning and the strawberry camera was missing and the headband is a little large for my mostly 8-9 headed SD girls, but I think with a thicker wig it will fit better. My parcel contained a Lati Yellow-sized antler headband which is very cute, but won't fit anyone here. I've messaged Kuloft about the mix up and hopefully it'll be sorted soon.
Melangell is half-Welsh and half-Japanese so I bought this little lapel pin to put on her jacket. The Dr Marten style boots are for Meli as well. The Volks sailor set (yes, I know, another sailor set...) is for everyone to share.
I've finally paid off the layaway on Gwenllian's body and Viridian House is almost done with Gwenllian's face up, so she is finally coming together at last! It's going to be really exciting to see her in one piece with her new face-up and put her in her Wimukt mori outfit!
As well as Gwenllian's head and body coming in, I have a few wardrobe additions too! Now, I haven't been too bad by buying these because I have sold some dolls and clothes, so I'm actually spending hobby money on my hobby this time, instead of my wages!
The outfit and boots are both by Dollheart - the outfit is LD000502 [SteamPunk2012] - Journey and the boots are LS001219. I know I've said it before, but I love buying Dollheart outfits because there are just so many pieces involved. I can get a few outfits out of one set this way and each piece can be used with other items I have in my dolly wardrobe. Originally I was just going to get the outfit, but then I saw the boots as well and couldn't resist ;)
The deer antler headband is by Kuloft, who make very cute things for dolls from colourful plastic. This was another impulse buy. This is Dal-sized, which means it fits heads that are 8-9" in size. This should fit Deryn and Gwenllian well, but might be a squeeze on my melon-heads, Mafonwen and Tommeliesl, whose heads come up to almost 9-10". Kuloft do Blythe-sized headbands as well (9-10"), but I wanted to try something I know would be smaller just in case the Blythe ones were far too big.
Last but not least, the summery dress is by Kalcia from Etsy. It's going to be Gwenllian's. I think the pattern is very cute and it's going to break up all the blues, greys and browns that she normally wears.
My parents are away on holiday this week, but instead of having wild parties and staying up all night, what I'm actually going to do is finish some BJD projects I've been putting off. I want to re-string Mafonwen properly with new elastic and I want to catalogue my BJD wardrobe [/librarian!] What I really want is to catalogue and photograph everything so that instead of hunting through for the things I want, I can refer to my own guidebook. It should hopefully keep things neat and tidy this way too.
