It makes it hard to spread things out and work, doesn't it! I hope things improve soon!

Thank you! They finally are. I've been having water problems so I've had to live with my parents on and off until they were resolved and it sucks because I got everything I need for airbrushing and now Im just...feh! I dun wanna...same goes with pastels at the moment *sigh* Which is sad because thats primarily why I got Galena, to be an art project.

second_banshee - Yes, it's a Heliot girl. I'm so in love with this mold as a girl!
Thank you so much for the nice words!

[fishcake]

Akasuki she is so pretty--I think Heliot makes an even better girl than a boy!

HI! I have a question for the expert. I wait for my first Super gem Boy. Can you tell me which size of feet have? SD 13 or SD 17?

[LiselT]

That.. is a good question that I wouldn't mind being answered myself. xD; I will eventually need to get shoes for my lovelies, too. I think I might toddle to the What Fits thread for these gals later to see if I can figure it out.

Also.. this thread is dangerous. Once upon a time I told myself that I was happy to live vicariously through SOOM owners and they weren't for me. Then I went to a meet at Otakon and saw a Sphaler in person and was completely SOOMed. Now I have one full doll, one floating head and one more on layaway. <_<; Oh wait, another floating head in the near future, just waiting for him to be shipped. D'oh. And there are others I have my eye on. My hubby-to-be is in for it... there will be a horde.

<.<; -rolls out with a parting pic-

I think the shoes are SD17 because they are similar to the Senior Delf guys, if you do some measuring you can see for sure..I actually have Impldoll shoes for their Star line on mine because they are affordable and fit fine.
LiselT I agree about this thread--I never wanted a Vesuvia before!

Just popping in cos I got Beryl back from the wonderful Xhanthi last week! I am so very smitten. Never thought I'd say the words "Beryl" and "Freckles" in the same sentence, but... My Beryl has freckles



Now to go wig shopping for her <3

[silvermasques]

Eek I love Xhanthi's faceups ;3; I need to save more and send her my Hati.

Those freckles are so delicate and wonderful!!!

Okay big question- Does a DOI body :http://dreamofdoll.com/eng/product/p...c&Order_Num=16 work with a soom head? Because I really like this body, but I dont know if the resin is an okay match or if it works with the neck or what. So is anyone aware if this works or not?

I don't know anything about the proportion/neck size match, but I do have DoT girl, and I can tell you that DoD resin is *pink*. Pale and PINK. Maybe if you had a white Soom head you could blush it to match, but Soom white tends towards creamy, and even yellowed DoD resin is pink (so pink). I know a lot of the newer Soom NS is very pinky, but it's also much darker than DoD.

Here's a pic I took a while ago that includes the headcaps of my (slightly yellowed) DoD girl and my cream white Soom Appini. My DoD girl was acquired second-hand but the seller said she was cast in 2009. High heel feet that I bought direct from DoD in late 2011 were slightly pinker than her, but matched the insides of my girl's joints where she was less yellowed, so their resin color seems pretty consistent.

@ elsii: I am in love with your Beryl! D8 She's very unique among Beryls at that, very soft despite the peturbed expression. <3

Yetual doesn't get out much, but he did get a few shots snapped of him in the same fading sunlight as Coral.



He's getting a bit touchy again, which probably means I need to tighten his elastic. *siiigh*

[Tigrenok]

Hello all!

I would like to share my sunshine! My Bronze Amber has arrived! I made whole story, you can see it here: Freya's opening box story.

Wow, what an amazing guy you have! Looks like he knows he's fabulous too XD

[fishcake]

I love Yetual's snooty expression (and butterfly colors!)

HI! I have a question for the expert. I wait for my first Super gem Boy. Can you tell me which size of feet have? SD 13 or SD 17?

Definitely SD17. That's what my boy wears.

[Keet]

Picture of Obi outside.. he still needs proper clothes and painting.

[silvermasques]

Tygati I adore him so much... <3 then again I am a sucker for his color combo... <3 *swoon* XD

[Aditya-sama]

@Cow:
Dang it. You're right thats waaaay to pink to match up with my soom dia normal head. Thank you so much for your help! That answered my question! Thank you!

[LuckyXIII]

It's been ages since I've had new pictures to share. Kashmir decided that he is going to be a Fire Jotun and so he stole one of my other boys eyes (who is going to be Loki so they don't suit him now anyway) and claimed a red wig. Gods, do I love how the red looks against that brown tan skin! *dies*
