BlueFairy: Pocket Fairy Discussion: Part 1

[hellorach]

That wig looks super cute on Felice. I am considering adding a pocket fairy to my doll family, but deciding which one is sooo hard!

Sharon, Felice looks so pretty in her blonde wig! And lovely with eyelashes. You are brave trying to do such fiddly stuff, I don't think I could do it. I think Oona will, sadly, have to stay eyelash-less. She will have to content herself with looking at all her fluttering sisters! By the way, Felice is such a gorgeous sculpt, she has a lovely lovely face

hellorach, I know, the decision is so hard! Bluefairy make it harder with their choice system, there are so many lovelies to choose from

With all the talk of eyelashes, today I tried putting some on my little Felice (Noma)....it was harder than I expected because I forgot that the Pocket Fairy headcaps are attached by elastic through the ring in the cap, so the cap of course doesn't come right off...leaving very little space to work with. Anyway, as I didn't have a great selection of eyelashes here, I used what I had....one came out ok and the other is a mess!!! So tomorrow I will remove those and try again. I think I prefer her with eyelashes now that I have seen them on her.

Whilst I was fiddling with her, I decided to try some other wigs. I found that this one from Lati for my Lati White Special fitted really well once it was glued down, and I think it suits her. Anyway, you can see where I have gone wrong, her left eye I think it is, is all messy and wonky....plus I can see the glue! The photo isn't all that good as it was dark by the time I got around to taking photos.

You are so brave, Sharon! My fingers are shaking already when I think of those tiny, tiny eye sockets!

P.S. The wig is lovely on her!

I can't imagine trying to put lashes in those tiny little eyewells, Sharon.
I really love that wig on her!

I love Pocket Fairy's! They are the most adorable of all bjds. I'm kind of a newbie, but I definitely want a PF. They're all so cute! With those big eyes, eyelashes are definitely needed.

Thankyou for all the lovely comments on Felice, I'm really happy with this look for her.
Rosi, did you see I made the crochet dress from your pattern!!! I'm very pleased with it. It is a bit long, which is why I didn't take a full length photo, but next time I'll do one row less on the skirt part. I got a bit carried away!

Yes, I did notice her dress, and it looks great. I love that thread you used!
You could always just unravel the last row to shorten it.

I love my Yoko. She was my very first ball jointed doll, and a real treasure. Good luck with deciding. They are all adorable.

Sharon - I can see how similar the pocket fairies are to the Juniors now! She would be a perfect baby sister to Leila. I love Felices wig - she makes a lovely blonde. And i thought you said you werent very good at crocheting!! That dress looks perfect - I know your not one to blow your own trumpet !But you are so talented at everything you try.

Sharon she is lovely. I think I feel a need coming on LOL.

I think I might do that actually! It would look much better, she looks a bit like poor orphan Annie with her long dress and bare feet!!!!

I think you're trying to enable me again Samson, and you know I don't need any encouragement as it is!!!! But yes, I think that with my Tiny Fairy May as their big sister, a Junior would look really cute as part of their family! I can hear my paypal account groaning already!

Well I think my crocheting is about average really Sue, but thankyou for being so complimentary!!!

Sharon she is lovely. I think I feel a need coming on LOL.

Thanks very much Gill! Gill you have been bitten by the bjd bug really badly!!! These little ones are cute though, but they are SMALL, we're talking about 13cm. Did you want to go that small? I know you like miniatures though, so perhaps she would fit in really well in your house!!!!

Sharon I think I would love knitting for that size. The smaller the needles, the finer the yarn, the better I like it!

Oooo Gill.....very interesting, I will have to keep this in mind!!!

[dambuster01]

Felice now has two matching eyelashes, so she wanted to show you how she now looks!

[sweetiemom]

Perfect! and I love her little outfit, Sharon.

Thanks Rosi, I made that this morning...bit cold for this time of year but I'm hoping to make a long sleeved black top to go underneath it.

[susanp919]

Sharon, she is absolutely adorable! She looks quite the different little girl in that wig and pretty lashes. And I really love the outfit you made her Actually she reminds me a little of lati white Belle.

[maisiedoats]

Oh Sharon she looks fantastic with the eyelashes, I might have to knit her a little shrug to keep those shoulders warm. LOL
Cheers
May

[clochette]

Yay, Sharon! Congratulations on your success

Thanks Susan, and yes, I looked at her and Belle and there definitely is a bit of a likeness there!

Yay, Sharon! Congratulations on your success
