Lost Photos

I was adding photos to my blog the other day, and I found some pictures I kinda uploaded but never put in a post. So I though it would be fun to make a quick post using them and showing you secret random unseen photos! 

 
Izzy, being very fashionable as usual. This might've been her profile pic.
This was from an AGSM I was going to make, I tried making it with REALLY smooth movements and pretending she was alive. But something didn't go right, and now this is the only pic I have left.






 



  Izzy and Dani play Mario Kart wii.
One day, Izzy decides to try mario kart, just like mom sometimes does. So she goes on and discovers: she's pretty good. So, she goes and ask Dani (who was the new girl, I literaly had just gotten her) to a challenge. Izzy thinks she's so good, that she lets Dani pick the course. Dani, being the trickster she is, picks rainbow road (the hardest one) and Dani beats her!
I didn't upload this because it sounded too much like a mario kart nerd (well, I kinda was then) and I don't know if I still have any pictures left :( 










"lol"










 
 

 




 
Navy (now mizuki) in the polka dot outfit I made her!
I was thinking about how under-used she was, so I made a couple test SMs, but I don't know what happened to them.











 


FIRE CAROLINEEEE!
Intresting...
I wanted to see what caroline looked like with green eyes. Then I tried to make her hair red, too but it looked so firey and I was bored so I made the whole thing all red and stuff... So here is fire caroline. 
I bet if you gave #55 (like dani) #33's (curly red hair) wig, you'd get the same result...









On new years day (2013?) I did a mini photo shoot with Navy/Mizuki in our sunroom. most photos were uploaded to flickr... then deleted. So here's a lost photo I don't have anymore!

Introducing... Kitty! (I finished customizing rei-rei!)

So... I finished Rei-rei's new face-up! And, since she's not rei-rei anymore... I named her Kitty! It's short for Katherine.



 At first, I almost gave up because her face-up was so hard to get off! Then I remembered people saying it takes hours sometimes... so I went and sat on the couch with a magic eraser and just scrubbed while watching a movie.
Then I started adding pastels... they didn't really go on too well. A while later,  I found some sealant and put on a layer, and it helped a lot! Tip to anyone new to face-up: use lots of layers of sealant! It keeps it neat and if you make a mistake, you don't have to re-do the whole thing. however if you accidentally spray over a mistake, I guess YOU'RE DOOOOMEDDD. jk. idek. I did get a little extra pastels around her mouth that I couldn't get off, though.
I do like the eyebrows I did! xD And the lower drawn-on eyelashes don't look too bad, either. I also LOVE her freckles, but you can't really see them on camera!
I was planning on buying a different wig that was long, had straight bangs, big curls, and was the same color as her eyes. So she'd be kinda old fashioned victorian style. Like Pullip Fraulein, but less red. But since I haven't found a wig yet, I thought she's use Mizuki's old one. I was trying on other wigs, like ones from some old porcelain doll I have, and I tried on this big frizzy one. It was the exact color I wanted! and the more I looked at it, the more I liked it. I do kinda like the frizzyness on her thought, it gives her more... personality. However it's more than just looks "frizzy" it's really, really, really frizzy. And whenever I try to brush it, it falls out. If I take the clips out, it's literally like a big, red-ish, frizzy cloud.
I'm afraid that any other wig I get won't be the right color, though. It's hard to see exact color on the computer, and I love the color of this one, and I can't find anything like it.

While waiting for the sealant to dry, I also sewed the dress. I used a Blythe pattern, so it came out a bit short, but I still like it! It's super nice quality!
For some reason, I found myself sidetracking while writing this post and somehow came to googling what a mori girl is. I just found that it means "forest girl". It's a certain style thats kinda forest girl-ey. Go Google it yourself. anyway, to the point, I think that Kitty could totally be a mori girl! I love the style :) plus, a lot of its all loose, so it should be fairly easy to sew!


Thanks for reading! ~Hope (and Kitty)

Mini Julie blogs! Labor Day weekend at our grandparent's

Hi peeps! it's mini Julie here, and I'm going to attempt my first blog post. mom took tons of pics of me over the weekend when we went to her grandparent's house! (they live out in 'the country' and have a mini farm-ish that's a whole lotta fun for dolls!) So... here goes!

First, I checked the barn to see if the cat was there. She wasn't. D:

 I went to see if I could at least pet a chicken, but it ran away, too!!!


I found all the rest of them outside.

Heeeeere chickey chickey!

 I have some grass for you! Yeah? ...yeah? ...no?

After sulking around after my chicken failure, I found a gigantic fallen apple in the grass! WOW!
 Then, I found a raspberry bush! or should I say bushes!

 Let's try to pick one... Aaah, they're so huge!

Mom had to hold me up so I could grab a big, juicy one.

Okay... now let's eat this thing!

First, we must check for bugs... all good!

mmmmmfmfmfmffffmmmfmf.

oooooh! that's yummy!

After all that exhausting work, it's time to take a nap. It's hard being tiny.


The bench was too hard to sleep on, so I continued my adventure. 
I found a pretty flower. Hey, isn't that the kind you can like, eat?

I think you take a petal like this...

Then just suck on the end...

Mmmm! It tasted like honey! a very small amount of honey.

what's that over there? Hmmmm. it looks just right to climb...


oof.

yaaay! I made it! I BELIEVE I CAN FLYYYYYYYY!

...whoaaaaaa!

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

OOooomf! good thing I'm made of vinyl and stuffing!

After walking around some more, I found a mini lighthouse! It was JUST my size!

I can just feel the sea breeze blowing on my face... k mom. Take me down.

 Hmmmm. This place look familiar...

Ooooooh! Look at the view! 


It's the "Little doll in a big world" photoshoot spot thingey! IMMA LITTLE DOLL IN A BIG WORLDDDDD!

But, in the end, I just snuggled in the bed and took a REAL nap.


Hope you enjoyed my blog post! ~Mini Julie

Rei-Rei Came!

So today I came home from school... and there was a package waiting for meeee! And of course it was my new Pullip. what else could be in a big package with my name of it from across the country? Okay, let's get to the point... I opened it! They padded it with newspaper not packing peanuts :( and she was wrapped with bubble wrap around her arms.
I was never a big fan of pullip ayanami rei, I've never really seen the anime and the red eyes and blue hair didn't go together in my opinion xD And her face-up is just kinda plain and its all hidden by her hair! But she is still pretty. I guess if any pullip is yours she's pretty. (except the really early ones. I don't like those xD)
I have no clue what to name her. I'll just stick to Rei or Rei-Rei for now. I also have no clue what her personality will be.
I can't wait for the eye-chips to come and to find a good wig, so I can start customizing! ...I guess I could always do the face-up... I don't know if Im ready for that yet. although if i never do it, I'll never be ready :-\ 




  Here's a (not) little review:
She has short blue-turquoise hair. it's not really good quality (At least mine's isn't) and is very thick. it the bangs cover her eyebrows, which are also blue. she has shiny red eyes- they're actually shiny and not just painted on. they have a little white highlight painted on though. she has very few eyelashes and other eye stuff painted on. her blush is kinda tan-ish. i think that it should've been more pink. her lips have little paint, too. 
Her outfit: her dress thing is a tiny bit lighter than her hair. the straps velcro in the front under the waistband, and on the side so you can take it on and off easy. you can see how it looks in the rest of the pics. then there's a loose undershirt with a big round collar and red bow that matches her eyes. it also velcros in the back. 
That's all she came with.
The type three body is really weird too! I mean I'm used to the type 4 body. the wrists only move back and fourth, making it hard to do hand stuff. the legs are a bit more flexable and the waist is a TON more fexible! It actually moves around in circles... its kinda creepy at some times... her head is the same as any other pullip, her eyes stay closed and move and stuff.

I WILL (maybe) POST MORE OFTEN

So like nobody never views mah blog. :P
So maybe if I post more they will.
maybaaay.

So today I updated my Youtube channel some. I mean, not a lot, but I just took some pics yesterday and they were so awesome that I decided to change my profile! But then I had the problem of my profile not matching my YouTube channel art. so I changed that to bokeh and "RandomRoses11" on it. I think it looks nice. I like bokeh! its so pretty and sparklllyyyy. hehe.
So I thought maybe i'd update my blog too! So, I went with the same bokeh theme and its all green and a bit of magenta. coolio! I like it. AND DANIELLE IS STARING INTO YOUR SOUL AS YOU COME ONTO BY BLOG MWAHAHAHA

Other than that I am still waiting and very excited about my new pullip doll... she's not here yet but supposed to come this week. when I'm in school T.T I also ordered her eyechips and they're going to take a while too so I bet ill end up taking pics before I customize her. Oh and I haven't even found a wig yet. I'll blog more when she comes :D

Speaking of wigs, Kirsten's wig is seriously yucky. I thought I'd be able to fix it, and well, that didn't turn out well. Right now a downy dunk can't repair split ends. unfortunately all of the same wigs and the straight ones are sold out! So I'd have to get a super curly one or just deal with it.

My Underveiwed Pullip Video. And another Pullip!

Okay. I know my subscribers can watch what they want, but I just wanted to share my thoughts with you.
I wanted to do a music video to Heartlines by Florence + the Machine. I was going to use sierra. but since I almost never do anything with Mizuki (my Pullip) on YouTube, I thought I'd make it with her. 
so, I spent a couple days thinking of a good storyline, a couple making stopmotion at my grandma's house, a couple putting it together so it matched the music, and then sticking her in a rosebush and filming, then going to the highest hill around here and filming then putting it all together again... to put it simply.
But now that I've had it up for about 3 weeks it still has a lot less views than all my other vids. Apparently AG people really don't like Pullips.
I made a nyan cat video last night. I made a poptart out of paper and taped to Dani and then took like 10 pics of her waving her arms and going up and down and then copy-pasted them into iMovie 20 times. Then put it on green screen that didn't really work. and It's got more views that my Pullip one, right now. I just don't see how people find that interesting...
I mean you can watch what you want. 
But you are really missing out on some AWESOME stuff.
Maybe if I make all my MV's with Mizuki, everyone will just have to watch them.

But on the bright side, I did get another pullip! (so that means I can make more awesome under viewed videos) I got one for cheaper off of ebay. She's Pullip Ayanami rei, from some anime I haven't seen. But I don't care about that because I hope to customize her! I already bought brown eye chips from coolcat and am looking for a brown wig. I might try her face-up. I have been reading on how to do faceups, what to and not to use, pics and videos of face-ups, and even did a porcelain doll! So hopefully I wont fail! xD She'll be kinda old fashioned - Victorian style. Hopefully I can find or make some dresses for her! And hopefully she and Mizuki can star in some MVs and pictures together. I cant wait for her to arrive!

~Hope
