Oscar doll eyes, and pastel girl

I got my eyes from oscar doll, and while they are really beautiful, the ones I was most excited for didn’t look like expected. I’m still keeping them though, because they are gorgeous either way. I’m going to post oscar doll photos compared to my photos.
I got Bougainvillea in 16mm for Cygne:

And I got 2018 Early Summer 020 in 14mm for Carol:

And here they are unboxed:

And here are my girls with their new eyes in:


I know my photos are not perfect, but I hope they show approximately how the eyes look in real life. The summer ones are a lot bluer than I expected, I was hoping for more pink/purple. But I am hooked to oscar eyes now, and I’d love to have a small collection of different colors and sizes ^^ I really like 14mm for Carol and 16mm for Cygne, so that is just perfect.
My little Ringo got the pink ones that Carol was wearing, I still need to find the time to add some color to her face, but here is a quick photo:

And I wanted to tell you about this cute app I found, it’s like a dress up game but everything is so cute. It’s called Pastel girl, there are options to buy stuff on it, and it does have an ad unless you pay to have it removed, but its honestly so non-intrusive. It’s really relaxing and is a great way to find inspiration for styles for dolls 🙂 Here are a couple I made with it:



Adorable, right? 😀
Bye for now!

Waiting for Carol, first oscar doll eye order!

Carol is traveling to me, but has not reached Norway yet. I just cant wait to meet her, I’ve seen a few owner pics now and she has looked both gorgeous and less so 😛 I just hope I’ll love her when I get to see her in real life!
And thanks to a kind instagram-person, I decided to order some eyes for Cygne. I want to order some from mako too, but I decided to get a pair from oscar doll eyes this time. I’ve been struggling with eye size for Cygne, because she can wear my 14mm glass eyes and it looks great, but when I try on the 14mm urethane eyes I have, they seem too small. I saw this gorgeous vampire Cygne on instagram that had what I guessed was oscar doll eyes, and they looked like the perfect size, so I decided to ask her owner, and they were indeed 16mm oscar doll eyes! I like the eyes to be a bit on the big size for my dolls, I never liked the more realistic look with small eyes. Hopefully the eyes will be amazing, because I only have 1 doll that can wear them 😛
I ordered these, photos belong to oscardoll of course:

I’ve liked purple for Cygne so far, but I could not resist the ones with multiple colors, they were so magical looking!
It’s almost funny how I feel like I’ve bonded more with Cygne these last few weeks knowing another head is coming home 😛 I did also add to her faceup, gave her a little more color, and I’m really liking it. It was really pale in real life, so she looked a bit washed out honestly.

So this is her after some more eyeshadow and lipstick ^^
I think the purple eyes will look so great on her, hopefully they are a bit lighter than the ones she’s wearing in the photo 🙂

Fun fun

Alva has found a new mommy! She’s currently on layaway, and I’m just thrilled that she’ll be going to a new home 🙂
Another sale means a little cash, and I’ve been thinking about what to do with it. It’s so easy to say that I want more dolls, but I have to remember that I already have 3 incoming dolls too. I know I have a habit of feeling overwhelmed when I have too many dolls, so maybe this is a good time to take a step back and think.
I’ll have 1 puki, 4 pukifee, 1 lati yellow, one YOSD-ish Dust of Dolls Lünn, and one slim MSD. I’m not counting my two floaty heads at the moment. Will another pukifee be one too many? I still want PKF Mio, but she does look a lot like Luna, so maybe I’m better off waiting, Fairyland may come with new pretty PKFs one day.
I wonder if Lünn will be able to wear any of the LTF clothes I have laying around. If I remember correctly, she wears PKF sized wigs and Puki sized eyes, lol, she’ll be one weird little lady to shop for 😉 Maybe it would be a good idea to have some money stashed away for eyes and wigs for her.
Eyes and wigs.. That reminds me, I got two wigs in the mail yesterday, from CoolCat. They were both for Lusis, and they are amaaazing.. Well, the fibres aren’t the best quality and the wigs are a bit thin, but the colors were pure love. I’ll have to try and get some photos up soon.
I also broke down yesterday and ordered 2 pairs of eyes. Mako eyes have released new eyes with freakin glitter in them. I don’t really count them as urethane eyes even though they kind of are, but they are more like expensive glass eyes I think. I’d have ordered more if Mako had smaller sizes, but 12mm is the smallest, so I ordered these two:

image_big('20121224065332b
I hope they’ll be nice for Lusis, worst case my PKF Ante Litja can also wear 12mm. I think Bonnie can pull off 12mm too. Aren’t they gorgeous? I hope they’ll be as pretty in real life.

In the kitchen

I needed a place with natural light to take some photos of my girls in FoxyBrowny clothes, so please excuse the ugly background 🙂

Lusis picked this as her favorite of the outfits I got 🙂

Chloe found a guppykisses sweater I had to match the beautiful tights.

I just HAD to show you her new eyes! I finally got them from Captured in Glass, and finally they look like I wanted them too.

You have no idea how stressful it was to get these eyes from Captured in Glass. I have WAY too many eyes that I cant even use, and this time I got 4 pairs that I asked them to re-make for me, and 3 out of 4 was exactly what I wanted. The last pair was supposed to have black pupil but once again they came with colored ones.. It’s not really worth the time and money to ask them to do custom orders, because 49 out of 50 times you wont get what you want. I’ve also been struggling with off center pupils, different sized pupils and more.. The only reason I go back is because when you actually get a perfect pair, they are indeed perfect. The colors are stunning, and they catch the light amazingly. And, they are cheap.
Sorry I went off track there 😛 Lusis is extremely happy to have new clothes added to her wardrobe, and she doesn’t mind sharing with Chloe. Chloe is settling in nicely, she has already stolen Story’s wig (I’m going to order another one) and we are bonding like crazy. I hope to give her a new face soon 🙂
Poor little Ruby though. I removed her face-up but there is still some left and to top it off her face became really shiny :S Oh! I took out my knife and carved her eye too. I mentioned this earlier, on one eye I cant get the glass eyes all the way in, so it looked super weird and I could see gaps on top and underneath, if that makes sense. Carved out some resin, and now her eye goes all the way in 🙂
Hopefully I’ll have more photos soon!

Eye debaccle

I’ve been searching far and wide for 10mm eyes with large pupil… as you may know 😛
Anyway, I used to order all my eyes from captured in glass because I love the colors and they catch the light so beautifully.. But here’s a summary of my last two times ordering:
– I ordered several pairs of purple and blue eyes, some in 12mm and some in 10mm. I didn’t specify pupil size, so when they came with tiny pupils I couldn’t really complain. But all the pupils were different sizes and off center. When I contacted them about this they were extremely helpful and said they would send me new ones! But the eyes I got… Well, I had first ordered with flat back and normal dome, and the replacements I got had stems and low dome. That wouldn’t have been so bad if the colors hadn’t been so.. flat? cloudy! Flat and cloudy 🙁 They didn’t catch the light like the others did, and lacked depth. Not to mention all the pupils were off center, again.
After that order I wrote back saying I didn’t know what to do as I’m stuck with so many pairs of unusable eyes. They never replied.
– Now I went back, because they are the only dealers I know that will do custom iris and pupil sizes. They thanked me for the second chance, and I made my order. Well… they arrived today…
First off, NONE of the pupils were the size I had ordered. The worst part was two pairs though, I had ordered this beauuutiful purple color that normally only had colored pupil, and I asked if they could do a normal pupil on those, and they said they could. Apparently they couldn’t after all, because they arrived with colored pupil 🙁 And its such a shame because the color is amazing in real life!.. And one pair, seriously, I get that this is handmade and blabla, but I don’t want my dolls to look like derp… The pupils are so off center its ridiculous
One pair actually had different sized iris too…
I’ll show some photos later, right now I’m too emo to do anything. I contacted captured in glass about it, and we’ll see what they say this time. No matter what I doubt I’ll ever order from them again.

Disappointment…

Again this seller has disappointed me… As I was prepared for, the color of the eyes are pretty off, but apparently they no longer make the big pupils, which was the only reason I bought from them in the first place…
Here is the stock photo of the eyes:

light purple and purple.

And here are the eyes that I got, the eye on the left is from a previous order and what I was expecting the pupil to be like: (I apologize for the dust on the eyes!)

The light purple ones, the ones on the far right, in this photo it may look like they have a big pupil but they dont 🙁 And the purple ones are more of a darkdarkdark blue-ish than purple 🙁
But wait, that’s not all! On the light purple pair they actually don’t match in size either. It’s not a big difference, but there is absolutely a size difference there:
The eye on the left is bigger than the one on the right 🙁
To make matters worse, I’m waiting for 4 more pairs from this seller, totaling $60 of useless eyes… I’ve put Luna in the light purple ones, but it changes her look pretty drastically so I doubt she’ll stay in them for long..
Just one more photo to demonstrate the difference in pupil and iris size.. I’m so sad about this:
Right eye is the old, left is new…
I have ordered 10, 12 and 14mm eyes from this seller before, and they have all had big iris and big pupil. Why the sudden big change?
I’ve contacted the seller but I can already tell what they are going to say… ship them back for a refund.
I may be a bit inconsiderate though.. I guess eyes are hard to make and I know from personal experience glass is hard to photograph, and handmade things have differences and all that… But I’m allowed to feel disappointed anyway.
Hoping the other 4 pairs of eyes are better than these ones :/
 

Dem eyes

I just wanted to show off the eyes I’m waiting for 😀
The seller is NOT good at taking accurate color photos, so it’s a bit like a lottery buying from them, the only reason I keep going back is that I always end up loving the eyes so much even if I don’t get the color I thought I did. (The only exception is the “gold” eyes that looked like a bright yellow, and when they arrived they were a horrible puke-green color D: )

Bought these a couple of days ago

Bought these today!

They are all 10mm 🙂 I hope they are beautiful <3 With the other eyes I have from the same seller they are usually darker and sometimes less saturated than the sellers photo.

nDoll, another update

My tracking number is WORKING!
I see some have already gotten their packages, and others have working tracking like me.
But as I feared, someone got their package missing 3 wigs.. I really hope my package will have all the things I ordered :/
 
Can you see the sparkles I added in her eyes? Both her and Clawdeen got a bunch of glitter in their eyes, to make them sparkle, but it doesn’t really show in photos:
