The Man in Black

 I got a package from SartoriaJ not long ago with some outfit pieces that I hoped would work for Micha (RD Ken). The measurements of the Raccoon Men are close to the SJ men, and their height is much closer than the Iple/RD's. I'm happy to report all the clothing pieces I got are a very good fit for Micha. I took this shot of him in the vest and shirt minus coat several weeks ago.


And today I decided to put the coat on him and take him outside for the pictures. The light wasn't ideal..........and with him wearing all black the lighting was giving me fits, but you get an idea of the fit of the coat.

I love the look of it, and it certainly fits Micha's style.


I'd love to see SJ do some of the vests in other colors with different colored neck cloths, and would love to see some Victorian era clothing for the girls as well.

An Eye Change

 Long time no post.............I've been in small doll world. I collect many different sizes of dolls, and while the Asian BJD's have been my main focus the past several years I do love lots of different sizes of fashion dolls. I did however take advantage of Masterpiece's eye sale a couple of week ago and order a size up on the " Afghan" eyes for Maeve. I originally put in size 6/7mm eyes, but while happy with the color I was never happy with the size, they made her look startled. The iris was just too small for her eye well.  Her new 7/8mm eyes came in last week so I changed them out, and I'm much happier. Here she is with the new size.


And a shot of her with the old size for comparison. Part of it may be the way I had them adjusted (Did I say how much I HATE adjusting the eyes in this size?).  But as I said above I'm much happier with her now, with the new size. 

And another new shot of her with her new eyes.






Feeling Like Fall

 I haven't been in the mood to play with my dolls much at all lately, but today I got the urge to get Lucy out and put her in some fall ...
