LIMHWA To You Sara discussion part 2

[Kirahfaye]

Moonbeam, congrats on the new family! And thanks for the photo. I'm contemplating a Lumedoll boy and appreciate the ability to check out the scale.

[Gallye]

Moonbeam, your family is lovely--what wig is your Blaze wearing? Is that one of tabloach's wigs?

[Oliveoil]

I have been lurking and enjoying all the great photos, outfits and wigs. It is nice to see so many people enjoying Sara!

[Jane]

Moonbeam I love the family too and I really do love that cardi that Ellen is wearing

And emsinnott I am so pleased that your girl finally has a name! and Reika I have no idea how you managed to put in eyelashes!!!

[Reika]

moonbeam: wow, thanks a lot for showing us your little family! Seems like the Lumedoll boys are really a good fit.

Jane: well, it certainly was hard work. The result is far from perfect, but at least the eyelashes don't fall off! XD
I used a lot of white glue, though. Even after I got the eyelashes in I put another layer of glue from the inner of the head to secure it. I just hope I can get rid of them if I ever wanted to change the face-up...

[emsinnott]

Reika- Thank you! I got Trysta's shoes off of ebay! I think from mimiwoo.... I'm thinking I'm too lazy to put in lashes, but man, kudos to you!!!
Jane- I'm glad she has a name too! It was driving me bonkers!!!
Moonbeam- omg! Soooo adorable!!!!

Well, hopefully I'll be back on later with some good shots!

These boots are too cute, emsinnott! I'm waiting for my Mimiwoo order to arrive, too - with shoes that hopefully fit my Sara...

I have sewn Solveig a dress recently:

[emsinnott]

Thanks Reika! I love the pattern on Solveig's dress! I hope the shoes fit too! I have a couple that don't T_T but most of them I've been luck with!!

[Jerry]

A soft wind blow in my home ^^

I just order new crochet hat for Little Pea. She like it so much and want me to take her some photos that night! It's sweet comment!



Hug everyone in this topic! I hope I will come back regularly to view these beautiful girls of yours!

[Kirahfaye]

Jerry, that's such a cute floppy summer hat! Little Pea looks adorable!

[ModernWizard]

Okay, peoples...I haven't found a clear answer one way or the other -- would 6 or 8mm eyes be better for my Sara? Thanks!

--MW

[Kirahfaye]

ModernWizard, trust me - 6mm. And the lighter the shade the better. I went through 4 pairs of eyes until I found a pair that worked for my Sara.

[Oliveoil]

6mm work best for Sara!

emsinnott: I love the boots!

Reika: Solveig's dress is perfect for summer. She looks so 70's!

Jerry: Very nice hat.

[ModernWizard]

Thank you for your quick responses! Off to find some 6mm eyes!

Oh my, does she have elf ears? She's beautiful!

--MW

[Reika]

Jerry: Such a cute summer hat!

thoaitai: you're such an artist! First these cute shoes, now this dress - it's beautiful! And are those really elven ears? Did you mod them onto her human ears?

Solveig can cuddle her little daughter Lotta now! This little darling is a PukiPuki Flora which arrived just on friday. =)
(Sorry, no new dress for Solveig yet - but she'll get more clothes soon. I'll just have to find the right not-too-stiff fabrics.)

[thoaitai]

Thank you ModernWizard !! Yes , she has elf ears . I love elves , fairy , and the legends about them !!

Thanks Reika !! I make elf ears from polymer clay . And I fixed them onto her human ears with glue . The components of the polymer clay (in white color) and glue is not harmful to resin . I easily remove it when necessary .
I'm sure we can blushing the polymer clay elf ears and sealed them with Mr. Super Clear .

It's wonderful when you gave Solveig a warm family !

I wish Soul Doll Kimmy become to brother of my girl but he has sold out , and now he is very hard to find ..

[Reika]

thoaitai: Thanks a lot for telling me how you did the elven ears! I also thought of making detachable elven ears out of polymer clay or Epoxy, but for a larger doll. It's nice to see that this method actually works!
If I may ask, which brand of clay and glue did you use?

Anyway, it looks really good on your doll, even without a wig. =)

Dear Reika

I bought this polymer clay at the Polymer Clay Flower Shop . Its packaging has no brand , just a few Thai words , but I think all they are same .
Good or bad polymer clay only affect clay flower quality . It does not adversely affect the resin and the MSC .
I just worry about stain resin can happen if we mixed a dark color or Oil color into the polymer clay .

I used glue is usually used to make handmade paper craft . It has milky white , it smells like yogurt . When dry it will become throughout , odorless , and when pasting the paper , it is very solid . But for resin , it is easy cleaning with a damp cloth .
In Vietnam my country , it's called Milk Glue . I'm not sure it is Elmer's Glue or not . Because Elmer's Glue can paste a lot of material , but milk glue just works best when paste papers .
