Doll: Want one? Make one

As a curious person and as an artist I always try do do everything by myself. Tutorials made by others is viewed only in extraordinary way (I always precious them) :) That's how I am. I like to think, explore and find how to make something using my own knowledge. The same was with making a doll. I wanted a beautiful doll to sit on my shelf, so I made one. I made some more after that too. The first one was as a Christmas gift for my mother. It was a Victorian style lady wearing a black laced dress with a purple underskirt. 

The one I'm showing today is my second doll - Ophelia. 

 It's Gothic kind of doll with striped black and white stockings, green hair, black laced dress, a little wire crown with vale and a little hand bag. The hand bag had a mini mirror with blush in it.

The thing I love most is those bending stripped legs :) 

 All of her body: torso, head, legs from knees and hands are made from a a ceramic modeling clay. It drys and becomes hard in 48 hours. The lower body part and arms are soft. I wanted her to flexible.

 Stockings are painted on the legs and attached to the soft body. So she can bend her knees and make different poses.

All clothes and accessories are made by me as well as make up. She is a cute about 18 cm tall girl

 I gave it to my ex boyfriend's  mother as a gift. I'm a little sorry for it now... But well, what is done is done.

Next time: Cupcakes girls Constance;)

Makeup bee

I've created  an account on Makeup bee :) 

You can find it here :) --->>
There is so many looks to explore and to share your own. A great site, I would say.

I found some unused fabric and decided to make a jabot and a pair of cuffs from it. It came out quite nice except that the fabric has a pattern of cheetah. Well, It had to be just a practice, but now I don't want to threw them away.

I think I'll dye them in black hoping  it will cover the animal print... On the other hand it looked quite interesting with a black jacket and a ripped black pants plus an 80's hairstyle that looked a little bit like this...

Curly hair Oh, beware!!

I find curly hair very attractive. That's  because my own hair is extremely straight. So to make them curly I just twist my wet hair on a foam hair curlers and leave them to dry. I add some hair srpay after that too keep them curled. They become straight in a hour if I don't use a hair spray.

 Here's the all outfit:
Hair bows -  made by me.
Emily strange sweeter (second had shop)
Black laced skirt with double ruffles and a lacing on the back. (second hand shop)
Boots...old as a hell :D From a local shoe shop.

Sorry for the plaid on the chair :D Our flat is not so big so it's hard to have a clear place for photos :)

Day outfit: coat

Here comes outfit of the day. Nothing special. Just going outside to buy some food. I like the coat except, that it's way to big. I bought it when I was wearing two size bigger clothes. So now it's two size too big. I'd like it to be more tight.

My hair has a strange color in these photos. I never thought they could look that way :)

I've been wondering about my hair lately... i want to change the way it look, but I just not sure how I want them to look. Maybe it autumn playing around. I hope I wont do any stupid thing to them...

DIY Hair clips: a perfect present for a perfect cost

I was doing some DIY yesterday. i had some plane clips in my drawer and decided to make some use of them. I love big bowed hair clips. I love small and subtle, cute and elegant hair clips. I love them, but I don't wear them a lot. My hair is so slick and straight that the clips usually fall out :( But I still try to do my best so I usually wear them with tossed or tied up hair. However, it doesn't mean I can not make them :D

So here they are....

 Cute Gothic Lolita bows.

 A bat bow clip. 

 A heart shaped hair clip.

 I love how it sits in my hair.

 Victorian sea shell cameo hair clip. cameo is made by me too.

 A spider clip.

 I had made  this spider brooch long time ago. I decided to put it to use by making a clip from it. You can make lots of adorable hair clips just by gluing some nice jewelry peaces you have to a simple plane hair clip.

Here are all my work results. Making your own hair clips it the most simple way to have your own unique ( in any style you like) hair accessories.  And such a lovely handmade accessory is a perfect gift for your sister friend or even mother (if she wears ones). And it doesn't cost a fortune. These ones cost nothing for me. I made them from scraps I had at home.

My working place :D

Here's some simple and nice tutorials and ideas:

• Lolita bow
• Flower clip
• Tulle clip
• Geisha flower clip
• My own project on cut out and keep. Monster hands.
• Kitty ear clips

 So get busy ;) Holidays are coming soon.

Hair band "Bats glide on the Halloween coffin"

So, I came to this idea while being at work. And as soon as I came home I did all I could to make it real. And here it is. A fun and cute hair band special for Halloween.

 It took me a bout a half of a hour to make it. I used cardboard, hot glue, black silky fabric, some wire and black acrylic paint.

 I cut out bats from cardboard and attached them to wire with hot glue, then painted them with black acrylic paint.

I got the idea how to make the coffin from a tutorial "How to make a coffin purse".  I made it how she made the top of the purse. Then I attached it to a hair band with some leather strap and hot glue.
I'm really happy with it. Now I don't have to go to Cemetery to see bat gliding. But I still will going there  tomorrow. Just to see a million of burning candles placed and the resting places of all those gone souls. The scenery is always amazing.

Have a fun Halloween ;)

Evening make up "I like dots and I can not lie"

Remember the post before? So this is what I did with my make up latter that evening.  

 It's kind of a dolly look, I guess...

I added darker shadows on the top lid and some shadows under my eyes. I never tried it before, but it looks ok. I always liked the way Adora BatBrat paints her face. It's just sad that because of the light you can't see the real view... damn that bathroom lights :( I know that fake Eye lashes would be perfect for this look. But I couldn't find my glue anywhere... So just imagine them :D

And dots, dots dots... I'm still obsessed with them :)

 So, the make up is done, so it's time to dress up and go party... 

 A fancy hat, a lovely kitten brooch, my Lolita blouse and I'm ready.

Not my favorite look. I but I thought the Lolita - Victorian style goes best with this make up... I need to learn how to contour my cheek bones too. Any suggestions for a good tutorial??

Black eyeliner make up

A free day at last... I love my job, I do. But I can't go to it all fancy creepy black, so I keep it for my free days.

Sun is bright as it's in the autumn and my red hair is sparkling too. I love this color red, but I want to make it a little bit brighter. the time to dye is coming so I will try something out.

 And yes, I bought those fancy skeleton hands I was dreaming for so long. I found it for a very good price on Etsy. Now I got six of them :D Two goes for my friend as soon as I get more clips to attached them to. Other two. Well, it's always good to have some spare skeleton hands in your closet ;)

 Here are some black ribbon clips I made. I wanted something simple but cute. But now I want to add something too :D I can't go with very simple I guess...

And of course, the make up....

 It seemed to light for me so I put some golden shadows on the upper lid.

 You can see them here. If it was evening, I would probably add some black and purple shadows. The best about this is that I can do it latter. So the day make up turns into evening just by adding some darker colors. Myebe I'll add a photo latter. When the evening comes ;D

 I want to reshape my eyebrows into more firm. I need to color them anyway. I'm not good on doing it by myself and to lazy to go to a pro :D

The last photo... The line came really good. I got a birth mark on the outside corner of my left lid. It always gave me a hard time to make a clear line. So I decided to make it a little bit lower. And I guess it looks good too :)

UPDATE ...
So, latter that evening ;)

More photos on the next post ;)
