Monday: Meet Mariko...

 

Name: Mariko

Eyes : Dollfie Animetic Eyes ‘Mariko’ Original Design, Metallic, 22mm
Wig : ‘Mariko’ Original Style, DD Size
Head : ‘Mariko’ Original Head
Body : DDS, Semi-White Skin, M Bust
Faceup: Volks

Relationship: yes with Aoko
Siblings: a little sister (havent decided on name, might be a 06)
Personality: Mariko is a shy girl that likes to read, play board games and play with stuffed animals.

Mariko had really taken my heart so much, especially every time Heather would bring over her own girl (she had the WS version) and we would try different wigs and clothing on her. I really just love what I feel in a way is a sad expression. I also have a thing for dolls with open mouths/lip areas and this just added to her cuteness. I feel that her wig color will stay the same and Ill see about other styles but for now I just like her having her little braids and her eye color might change. I just feel like they get lost with her hair/coloring of her faceup.  I also have a thing about not actually naming my dolls XD...I might need to work on that.

Etsy: New Addition...

I went ahead and added the raglan sweater I had on my Mariko.

You can see the listing here.

Im going to work on making a sweater in each of the colors I have and when I get others of those as well so that you can see how it looks when its finished color wise. This one is Rhinestone Pink (Hot Pink). I added a inch to the arms to make it cover the hand joint more.

Arrival: DDS Mariko (SWS) ...

I ended up having a little break this week since I got everything done ahead of schedule for me at least so I was able to be home when this girl arrived. Meet Mariko (Student Version).

Seriously I love this girl so much, even my grama was complimenting how cute she is (she loved Nanami too). Her wig/eyes are the defaults. Its really all Heathers fault XD every time she brought over her Mariko and was trying different wigs on her and such I just fell more and more in love with her. I really am thankful they re-released her. She is in the semi white skin color which I really do love and my Lucy is the same skin color as her, Nanami and Saber are normal skin.

I dont like her student outfit. I never really have been big into the schoolgirl look to the Dollfie Dreams, so I decided Im just going to sell that. I wasnt sure about keeping her bag or not through. I think Im just going to let it go with that as well.

Shes modeling a sweater I made for her (I need to make the body a little longer as I just like that style myself) but this was kinda a test sweater, but I love that yarn alot so Ill probably grab another ball of it. Ill probably make another one to test on Heathers Mariko since she has the larger bust to see how much thats going to make the sweater pull up XD and how much room I need to give it in the bust hahaha. I put the Moe (ver 2) outfit on her and she looks so cute in it.

So now I have Mariko, Saber, Lucy and Nanami. I have the Azone Utena in December, but she is kinda in a league of her own.

Tweeking: Love the one Kyori...

This is why I never get anything done..my Mina is such a lap cat that no matter what Im working on she just shoves herself into my lap.

I kept seeing the pictures of the Love the One Kyori that had been photo-shopped to add liner under her eyes. So I went ahead and did that to my girl, and I also ended up changing her lip color. It took a couple tries because I kept making her lips too light for her skin tone, but I finally got it.

 I wanted it to match the And Another Thing Kyori's lip color. The only thing I need to do is figure out a hair style for her. Other then that her enhancement came out rather well.
Also...

I ended up winning a Mariko! Im so happy I got this girl, I really didnt think I was going to, but I super excited to get this girl. I also know they are releasing more semi-white skin optional parts as well. She should be shipping out I think next month.

Dollfie Dream: DDS Mariko...

So I have to say a big huge thanks to Volks. Heather is no help every whenever she brings over dolls that I kinda passed up on XD especially the Mariko. No matter what wig we put her in she looked so adorable. I even showed my grama this girl the other day and she really liked her to.

So now its its the Dollfie Dream 2013 Festival event thing going on July 8th - July 15th. This is a lottery as usual from Volks, so winners wont really be announced until the end of the month. I just really hope I can end up winning one of these girls. Its really funny because I had said screw it and was going to buy the white skin verion, when Heather showed me that they re-released her.

They this time around have released her in the semi-white skin. I am not a big fan of white skin. I have always been afraid of staining the dolls, but I feel Im less self conscious about it with the normal skin ones, or most of the dolls I love have been the normal skin. My magical lucy arrived, and she is the Semi-white skin so I can see how it compares to the other two skintones and I really like it alot. So Im happy this girl will be coming in it. I think they are going to be releasing some optional parts for the semi-white skin bodies. I couldnt really tell I just caught a glimps and kinda am guessing on it.

Heres all her extras she comes with. I really have no interest in the schoolgirl outfit. Im probably going to keep her bag and wig. The best line of her description: M bust - I was much smaller and more delicate then I am now.

Wish me luck!
