Description I wasn't sure where to put this, so I just put it in dolls. Basically, I did everything in this picture but sculpt the doll itself. I did her face-up, added eyelashes, created the fur wig she is wearing and made the outfit.

The wig was made out of light pink synthetic fur cut and sewn to fit her head.

The outfit was made out of some black and rainbow knit fabric that had been sitting in my room for some time and sewn together. It consists of five tubes to be honest, but it didn't seem like it at the time since I spent that time cursing at it/pulling it off my pants (since I'd sewn it to my pants leg twice at least). The sleeves are super long to add to the cuteness of the ensemble and the heart at the bottom was made out of some scrap fishnet sewn on using some yellow embroidery floss. The leggings were half-assed since I was getting really tired of sewing at that point and I just sewed to stretchy knit tubes together.

The face-up was done with liquitex acrylic, artist pastels and varnish and was sealed using Testor's Dullcote. I love doing doll face-ups, I'm never satisfied with what I've done and I'm constantly looking to improve. Please let me know what you think!

yeah i hope it does! i'll make you a mod! how much do you charge for a face up? i don't want to get one from the shop i'd rather have custom!

Rainbowmaker In reply to SugarRune17 [2007-11-20 06:41:35 +0000 UTC]

$15 for minis and $20 for SD sized doll heads.

Add an extra $5 if the head is stained and/or you want a particularly difficult face-up. $8 for shipping, $3 for eyelashes if you don't provide them.

And It think that that is all (can't think, I sort of just got off work -_-).

Woo! All from scratch? I make cloth dolls since these are far too expensive for me. >.< Augh, so broke, yet so inspired! I design fashion too and find it much more difficult to create clothes for dolls. I guess I can't sew small things? *laughs* Wonderful job, I'd kill to have your skill. <3 (I'm obsessed with rainbow shit. x3) All your dolls are amazing!

Rainbowmaker In reply to Kezzy-Boi [2007-08-15 04:00:36 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I told myself I would buy the doll, the eyes, the wig, and maybe the shoes and that was it! I made myself learn how to do face-ups and sew specifically for my dolls and I've gotten better over the years!

Rainbowmaker In reply to Karma021 [2007-05-17 22:02:36 +0000 UTC]

Do I sell what? The outfits, the doll? No, I do sell dolls sometimes (meaning only once in a blue moon) but I do not sell the outfits just yet and I will NOT sell that doll in particular. This is a doll in my personal collection and if you want more information, just hop over to [link] !

Rainbowmaker In reply to Karma021 [2007-05-21 21:27:25 +0000 UTC]

Oh, well I'd probably be open to making a dress like this or at least similar in style when my schedule frees up and if the doll to be receiveing the dress is about the same size as a girl delf (both of mine are mature).

Sorry about that, I just get a lot of questions about my dolls and it's starting to bother me a bit is all.

lol, sorry. I understand.. but since I didn't saw any FAQ or something like that. Maybe you can put on the artist comments that they are not for sale and all the questions will stop, believe me.

Thank you so much. Had I thought about it I would have done one last night while I was facing up my new Lishe. I'll try and do one the next time I give one of my girl's a face-up.

wow, I love the shirt especially! the hair needs to be a little shinier in my opinion, but I love everthing about this doll otherwise! where did you get the doll?

Rainbowmaker In reply to ExplodingIchigo [2007-03-20 15:54:49 +0000 UTC]

I got it from a company called Luts and I paid through the nose to get her (and this is before the prices went up >_<. If you are interested, the website is [link] . I got an Angel Elf Soo who's one of the older models and I'm going to be getting a Lishe before the end of next week.

Thank you so much for the complement, the shirt took forever, but it was worth it!
