Description A little Sera dollie I made for Aaron A. ^^ Gave her to him at ComicCon!
I handed her first to Chris Reilly 'cause Aaron was talking to my friends, and he looks over and says, "Why does HE get to hold her before ME?"
Hee.

Pants are made of electric tape, and the stripes on that jacket took for bloody ever to sew together. @_@
But the buttons were fun. ^^

That is adorable. This comment in late, but I saw this, not realizing it was Sera (I read the comic too! : D) But distinctly thinking I recognized it. It's really cute, you're lucky to have met him!

The hair is this weird 'eyelash yarn' [link] that makes the hair look all...frazzled...it's awesome stuff.

And that yarn is really nifty! It'd be cool to make a scarf out of it or something!

I got them at the local discount store. $3.00, bish! I've had three different pairs of the same style over the years...the last ones I had were nice; real leather. But these are more of a shiny pleather. Meh.

I always wonder if people realize how difficult these little dollies are to make. ^-
I end up with pin-cushion fingers, by the end.
Because I do not have a sewing machine. XD

Rynan5 In reply to Nymphesque [2006-07-28 21:07:02 +0000 UTC]

I realize it. I, too, was going to make a Sera doll, but I got hung up on figuring out how to manufacture the goggles before I could make it.

Novel idea for the goggles, though a bit backbreaking. They look great.

She was a lot easier to make than the Annabelle plushie. XD

Well, I wouldn't mind making them for people...it wasn't HALF as difficult as making Annabelle, believe me. @_@

If you want one...::ninja eyes::
How much is it worth to you? Eh?

But then Aaron might get jealous that he doesn't have the only one. AND, there could be copywright issues on me getting money from a doll of his character. O_o
But, I could make one of any of your characters...

If you could make me a Dee dolly I'd TOTALLY pay for one... take a peek at my stock account and see if anything looks interesting...do you have paypal?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Nymphesque In reply to oibyrd [2006-07-26 03:04:21 +0000 UTC]

My mom does.

I really don't know how to price these...have you ever made a doll? It's hard for me to describe the kind of work that goes into it, so it's hard for me to price it.
Actually, the hardest part is the hair, and the clothes.

As for Dee, I don't know if I can make the doll look like exactly like him (he does have quite the prominent nose, you know) but I can give the dolly a haircut like his, and dress it in clothses like his. And, do specify size. The dolls I've made were two different sizes...the Sera dolly was about 8", whereas the Annabelle dolly was about 21", so that'd affect how much it costs.
The costumes what I like are these:

[link]

I'd have to get my friend to make me clothing patterns (Sera's clothes were basically done by guesswork. XD)
And the little black bob (I think that's what it's called...) is my favourite of his different hairs. ^^ Though, I could do the one where he's got stuff in the bob...those...white things...

Tell you the truth, I really don't know how much to charge. Pullip Dolls cost $60-80, whereas Little Apple Dolls cost $30, but neither of those are plushies, and they're both made with machines. So.
I dunno.
How much would you say they're worth? I don't want to over price, but I don't want to underprice either.
(I suck at selling myself. XP)

I love the second image best the little dark faerie sort of thing
I could always do one of three ways to pay you:
- Pay via paypal
- Pay via money order
- Pay by dA subscription (I've done this for a few deviants without paypal accounts )

Entirely your call. I probably won't be able to afford anything past $50....but still, I don't want to underprice your efforts (and the cost of material etc). You let me know what you think

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Nymphesque In reply to oibyrd [2006-07-26 22:34:30 +0000 UTC]

$50 would be fine. ^^ I'd prolly charge more if I didn't know you, but it's easier to work for friends. ^^ You know how that feels, right? Working for a complete stranger is so much harder to do. -_-;

I'll do my best with the costume; I have a feeling my friend can help me with the wings and things, so woo!
I would prefer a money order, more than anything else, because that is easiest for me to deal with by myself. XD I have a paypal account through my mom (I'm still only 17) but it has to go through her, and sometimes I don't get what's coming to me, if you know what I mean. XD

So, if you could do a money order, that'd be great!

I don't know how much shipping will be, but the supplies are prolly going to be between $10, and $20, depending on the size of the dolly.
Do you mind if his hair ends up being kind of...nappy? XD The stuff I use for hair is this eyelash yarn that gives a very frazzled effect. It's quite evident on both dollies. ^-

oibyrd In reply to Nymphesque [2006-07-27 01:28:08 +0000 UTC]

it was the frazzle that first caught my eye, so yeah absolutely I really appreciate that you're giving me a deal you're a doll. Just give us a few weeks to settle in this new place. Don't want you to start something I can't pay for later after all xoxoxo

Whenever you get the extra cash, is fine. I'm in no hurry, it's not like there'll be a time when I can't make a doll. XD

Nymphesque In reply to razuberii [2006-07-25 03:13:24 +0000 UTC]

It took many, many water bottle caps, and hours at the gas stove top in my kitchen to get them just right; I ended up holding the bottle caps (goggle...lenses...) in a pair of tongs, and crushing them, as the fire softened the plastic. then I painted the edges black, and made the strap with electric tape! Much folding of electric tape...XD
