Doing some "spring" cleaning, and putting items on instagram for sale

I decided it was time to let some of my floating faceplates and other items go. I’ve been out of the community part of the hobby for so long, and it doesn’t seem like people use Den of Angels as much anymore? For selling, I mean.
I decided to try putting stuff on instagram, it’s easier than filling out 10 sales posts on DoA, just popped all the images into one post, and write in the description. Unfortunately, it seems easier for people to flake on you. I’ve been holding an item pretty much from the second I put it up for sale. People say they want it, and never replies when I ask for an offer on said item. I had to write back to so many people telling them I was still waiting to hear back from someone several times!
I can see if people have read my message to them, and I can also see if they have been active lately, so it hurts a little to wait around for someone to never reply :O
Oh well, I guess I cant do much but wait for the right buyer 🙂
In other news, I think I’m going to be selling my fairyline doll. I can’t stand her body to be honest. I love what it can do with the magnets, easy replacement of arms, legs, chest size and so on, but I dont like playing with it at all. I much prefer the a-line.
Lexi has moved on from that body, to my Eva’s body. I’m still not sure what I think of Eva, I want to try and give her a faceup, but I’m not sure if that will help. I still love the full set outfit and horns though, and Lexi looks amazing as a willow spirit 😀
I still want to get another minifee some day, as I quite liked having two of them, but it’ll be an a-line body for sure. I would really like to buy a nanuri 14 face, or Liria, but those heads go for a fortune unfortunately, so I doubt I’ll ever own any of them.
Anyway, that was my little new year update I guess 🙂

One baby dragon please!

I can’t believe I haven’t seen these cuties from Aileendoll before!
They are little dragon kits, you get to build your own dragon! They are not made of resin though, but plastic. The price is also so much lower than their resin siblings 🙂
I got this little pink one:

I got purple eyes with it. Haven’t decided if it’s a girl or boy yet 🙂
I hope it travels fast, but post has slowed down because of the holidays and stuff, so it might not arrive for a while. It’s gonna be so much fun to put it together!
I still haven’t given my Lillycat Moon a face yet, but I did order some alpaca so I can make her a wig 🙂
I’m still figuring out if I love my minifee Eva or not. I’m not sure, it could be that I sort of hate her faceup. We’ll see, I love her full set so much though 😀 And I vastly prefer the renewal a-line to the fairyline body. So 90% of this doll is staying with me, but I might sell her face, and I am probably going to get rid of the fairyline body that Lexi is currently on.
That’s it for now!

Moon is also home!

I picked her up on Friday the 10th, and here is her box opening: (again sorry for bad photos, we have no daylight after I get home from work)

Banged up box, always makes me a little worried!

Box is protected by bubbles ^^ It still got banged up on one side though

Oh yes! My very first Lillycat box 😀

So pretty 😀

Love the little tips too 🙂

I see one adorable belly

This lil guy is keeping her tiny tiny eyes safe

They are actually pink, they appear more brown here

Carefully wrapped

And here she is! I am so in love with this girl, just wow

Tiny and delicate


Her size is just so exciting, unfortunately I don’t have a wig or clothes that fit her at the moment, and it doesn’t seem like it will be an easy task to get hold of anything either. So this little one will be a big project for me, which I’m fine with 🙂
I do have some plans with faceup, I want to go the same route as Andreja did with hers, a rainbow faceup. I’ve collected some reference photos of real makeup, but I’m going to keep looking and see what I come up with 🙂

Minifee Eva box opening

Here it is, finally! Sorry for bad photos, it’s so dark when I get home from work so I had to rely on artificial lighting.

Such a huge box!

I’m pretty sure that’s an entire newspaper 😛

Full set box 😀 It’s so pretty

At the bottom, the doll box!

That dress is gorgeous! And the thing on the top there is my event gift, a free wig 🙂

I’m really happy I got a blonde wig with her. And look at those cute panties!

Antlers, love them!

Painting these are going to be hell! It’s so hard to see where the lacey parts begin and end!

On to the dolly box!

Hello there cutie!

Honestly her face feels sooo small! I kind of hate the shape of her eyebrows to be honest, but everything else is beautiful.

Another view 🙂

With fullset wig, kinda cute

Her white lashes simply fell out when I changed her eyes :S

I did a little swap and I gotta say I love this so much! Honestly, I’m not a fan of the fairyline body that Lexi usually has (Eva is on the Fairyline in this pic)


This was the worst fullset to actually get on a doll. It took me absolutely for ever. And, the corset gets messed up as soon as I put on the underskirt, because it’s too poofy. I also think the 14mm eyes looked big on her, so I tried these on my Cygne with some success:

Like I said, I hate Evas eyebrows, so she will most likely get a makeover in the future, but I really like her so far 🙂 I think she looks much better in real life than what I am capable of capturing in photos for some reason. And yeah, at some point I am going to sell my Fairyline body, because I strongly prefer the a-line renewal.
Anyway, wish my new girl welcome 😀

Eva came home!

Eva arrived yesterday, and I took some pics but I haven’t gotten around to editing any yet, I hope to do so tomorrow and upload them here 🙂
Im also hoping Moon will arrive tomorrow, but she may have been released from customs too late, so it might not be until monday.

The race is on, place your bets!

I almost can’t believe this, I got my tracking number for both minifee Eva and chibbi Moon today!
I can’t remember if I’ve ever had 2 dolls come home this close, but if I have it’s been a while 🙂
It’s funny how complete opposites they will be, Minifee Eva is coming as a fullset with premium eyes and faceup, while Moon on the other hand is coming naked, bald, and with a pair of random eyes!
I can’t wait to see who reaches me first, so far Minifee is winning since she has already been shipped from Korea, while Moon is waiting to be shipped from France.
 

I cant control myself

My minifee Eva just updated to “before shipping”, and what do I do?
I order _another_ doll!
I’ve been following Lillycat for years, always amazed at her dolls, how different they are, but never dared to try one of her creations myself. But chibbi moon was too cute to pass up!
I now have 2 incoming cuties, and I cant wait! I know I dont do well with too many dolls though, so someone may have to go eventually, but for now I’m going to enjoy the ride 🙂

Some Evas are arriving, and eyemaking

I’ve seen a couple of owner photos of Minifee Eva on instagram already!
She looks really pretty, the only thing that surprised me a bit is that her faceup (especially lashes and brows) seem extremely orange. I should be able to fix it easily enough if my girl comes looking like an oompa loompa. Apart from the orange touch, I think I really like her. She looks a bit different from her promo pics, but they all usually do 😛 She looks sweet, which is something I adore in a doll.
I still have a long wait ahead of me, about a month and a half.
I did also buy a mold for a pair of 14mm and a pair of 16mm eyes. I’m having some issues though, because I can’t seem to get the resin completely white :O I purchased some white-ish UV resin, and added some white color to it, which worked great until I realized the UV light can’t penetrate the entire mold, so they remain fluid below the surface :/
I’m going to continue to test it out a bit, I’ll probably end up buying a clear mold at some point.
