New face-up...

2/28/2016

for Iplehouse Doria...  I got a custom Iplehouse face-up for her, but I wasn't happy with how it turned out...  her brows and lashes were too dark, and I didn't like the freckles.  I guess it's a language thing...  her face-up is actually a blend of her two current basic face-ups.

Anyway, I sent her off to Angel Toast for another face-up, but since I wasn't really sure by now what I wanted, I gave carte blanche to the face-up artist.  When Doria came back, I wasn't sure whether I liked her or not... it's the eyebrows... but I think she is growing on me!

She is on an SID body, but I think I might swap her on to an EID body.  Her playsuit is based on BurdaStyle pattern #119.

She's a human dreaming Siean, with eyes modded open and a face-up by Angel Toast.

I now have eight Feeple65 face-plates and three bodies... it's a great way to ring the changes.

Siean's stunning gown is by MonaeGlow.​ Her earrings are by me.

Going Boho...

Ah, my poor neglected blog...  actually I was waiting to post this entry until I had made a macrame belt for Boho #4, but I have to learn to make macrame knots first, and that could take a while...
​
I just love Boho chic...  it speaks to me of Summer and leisure-time; carefree and casual but still stylish and feminine.
Boho #1

As seen previously, being worn by beautiful Aria.  I just love her new "do" by Amadiz Studio.

Lace blouse is BurdaStyle pattern #116, and her "painted" skirt is a gift from my friend Lyanne.

Boho #2

Lady "B"  (Beatrice) - Iplehouse Carina - is as elegant as always in a tie-front tunic top in a stunning poppy-flowered fabric, given to me by my neighbour.  She is accompanied by Commander Bane (Benedict).

Pattern is Lekala #5196.

Boho #3

Topaz  (also known as "Rose"), fresh from getting a wonderful fresh, dewy face-up by Vitta-Vera, in a lace top and rose necklace by SisenDesigns, and trousers in a floral cotton print.
Picture

Her wig is by Amadiz Studio.  Isn't wonderful?  I love the red-gold colour, which is very difficult to find.  The style is reminiscent of portraits of nymphs by Botticelli.  I guess that is why it is called "Golden Renaissance"!

Boho #4

"Saffron" (Elf Chloe) arrives!

I made her a retro dress  (BurdaStyle pattern #V11).​
Picture

She has a wonderful face-up, by "Pretty".  I don't know anything about the face-up artist, except that I think they are based in Europe.

Boho #5:  Bell-sleeved tunic, modelled by Lady B.

The pattern is Leko #4270, from the Bootstrapfashion.com site.

So... I have actually been doing stuff... just not posting about it....
