Little Pullips Get a New Home

I had a half-completed doll house kit stored for a few years that I thought I would take out and finish. Once I had realized that the Little Pullips with their new 11cm Obitsu bodies worked well with the one-inch scale furniture, I just couldn’t resist. Although the house isn’t completely decorated yet, I had to show the two girls… (more…)

Photo Shoot with Dollmore Narsha

I’m still trying to give this poor girl a name and have not come up with something that fits her blossoming personality. In the meantime, the weather was absolutely beautiful today, so I took her outside for a few photos. This is the only dress I have sewn for her so far, and I think this week will be spent… (more…)

She is about 10 inches (24cm) tall. Although SoonJin has been part of this dolly family for some time, I have been so busy with other projects, that she sat… (more…)

In Two Places at the Same Time

Some items have been taken from my Etsy listings, and others are brand new items that I have been adding. If you’re in search of a new outfit for one… (more…)

One Step Forward, Many Years Back…

After so much sewing, my always reliable Singer sewing machine decided to break down. Although it’s nothing serious for a machine that has served me well in creating so many dresses, outfits and costumes, the machine will be going for service. Meanwhile, I have been taking a huge step back in time as I begin sewing with a Singer machine… (more…)

Featured Artists and Other News

Featured Artists I am constantly searching for quality artists who modify or sculpt dolls or those who create jewelry, furniture, clothing and other dolly necessities.  As the number of people watching this blog grows (more than 5,000 to date), it would be wonderful to feature additional artists. The year 2011 included a number of featured artists, so I have created… (more…)

Little Pullip with Obitsu Body

A few days ago, I came across a Little Pullip tutorial on deviantArt and had to try this. My first Pullip doll purchases were three Little Pullips, which I thought were cute. Unlike the standard size Pullip doll, the Little Pullips have some limitations – no eye movements, and they are not jointed. Once I saw the tutorial, I purchased… (more…)

New Tutorials

It seems that after the holidays, many people have received new dolls, which means two things: They want to get the best quality photos; and they may be considering to do their own face-up to one of their existing dolls. Because of these requests, particularly popular on Pullip Fiction (www.pullipfiction.com), I have decided to add two explanations for those who… (more…)
