A gift from my cousin ^_^ I had dragged L down on a Sunday morning to IKEA Tampines only to be disappointed that the stocks had run out, but the very helpful IKEA staff checked that there were still some sets left at the Alexandra branch (about 40 this past Sunday the 20th Dec, restock will be in Feb 2016 :O ), so I called in a favour from my cousin who lived closer to that branch than I did....She decided to make it a gift and I more than gladly accepted! Thanks D!!! :D :D :D </div>

This -is- Clover's blog, and although I knew that the sets are 1:8 scaled and Clover is, well, twice that size (she's a kid-sized 1:4), with some creative posing I was sure the bed and wardrobe would somehow work. 'sides, I'm collecting these sets as a fan of IKEA and modern miniatures :)</div>

The bed is extendable, with an inside measurement of slightly over 7 inches (18cm) when compact, and slightly over 1 foot (31cm) when fully extended. I do not own any YoSDs, but I'm pretty sure they will be a snug fit! As you can see, Clover has outgrown her toddler bed huhuhu.....(she's about 35cm tall)</div>

I made a ringlight out of some spare parts I had lying around, and it works so beautifully with my dolls T-T They do look a bit dusty, haven't had much time to play with them lately :( Clover (Iplehouse KID Lonnie) needs a bit more attention, her hair is so dishevelled hehehe<br />

Yikes! This blog has been severely neglected, I didn't even post about Kizuna Yumeno, my very first SD-sized doll :O Nor the long-promised SGDC2014 event report....gomen~! She was a birthday cum anniversary gift from the fiance :D</div>

I have been kept busy with pain management, wedding preparations, and even some renovation talks (will be moving out after my wedding)...whatever little useful time I had left was devoted to fulfilling the final custom request accepted in 2014. I hope to finish that by June before things go into full swing, but ack, need to earn some $ to tide me over, so I wanted to list some more 1:3 items and hopefully get some sales.... -_-"</div>

There's not a lot of progress photos, but here are a few that I found on my phone (couldn't keep it in and had to share progress with the bf, so pleased with myself for figuring stuff out HAHAHAHA)</div>

With 1:3 scale, things are....woah. really large. especially when I'm used to 1:12 and smaller. I had to find ways to reduce the weight of the props as well. I will list materials I used and where I got them at the end of the post, as most of you know I don't tend to nurture my social media very well, sorry :( Hurts to sit at the computer and my fat fingers make it difficult to type on my teeny smart phone. </div>

As always, I didn't draw up any plans, just measured the IKEA shelf that was supposed to be Kizuna's home so it would fit. I want to also make it light and portable so I can move it to my window for photoshoots.<br />
<br />
IIRC it's about 70cm height vs 40cm wide. All I knew was, I wanted a window. The window is a sliding window cos, I like stuff that works in mini too :D :D :D CAN YOU IMAGINE!! A PIE COOLING ON THE WINDOW SILL!!!! It all started with this idea, and I just made everything around the 2 pieces of glass which were 5" x 7" photo frame glass that I had lying around. Not sure why I even had them at home, but ey, whatever works!!! (oh ey, I think might have been left over from a project I made for the fiance...hrm.)<br />

Tara~~!!! I initially wanted a smoother finish for the upper half, but screwed up the last piece of PVC foam board and had -just enough- 2cm wide wooden strips....I think it all worked out great :D :D :D </div>

I first discovered <a href="http://ana-white.com/" target="_blank">http://ana-white.com/</a> a few years back when I was randomly surfing late at night for prop ideas pre-event (forget which one) on my phone, but never quite found the time to work on scaling down the plans. The site is chock full of relatively easy plans which I find easily adapted into miniature, especially 1:3 or 1:4! Was tempted to use inkscape to scale it down to fit whatever random wooden strips I had stashed away, but the site uses imperial measurements, so I gave up on doing all the crazy math and just re-drew everything on graph paper, the old fashioned way. Works better with my doll anyway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's about 12cm wide. I think. *squints at photos*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(painkillers really fuzz up my memory worse than it already was)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All I know was, I needed it much taller than the plans specified, as Kizuna is a very leggy woman kekeke. I think the legs were about 19cm, all I know is the seat had to be about 20cm off the ground so she can sit with proper posture (HAHA) since her legs can't be tucked in at angles less than 90 degrees.</div>

The table was just a few pieces of leftover wood strips put together to make a foldable table. The tabletop was not attached so I can switch it out for other tabletops, and I prefer the foldable legs so I can make it lower or higher depending on what I required for photoshoots. A tad flimsy, but it works :D</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tabletop was an old whiteboard thingy. Warped, so I reinforced and flattened it with wood strips too.</div>

Then just after I dug out some old props, it started to rain and my photos turned out quite grey. bah. good excuse to go lie down after the 4 days of working on these few props.</div>

Overall, pretty pleased with how they turned out. The black wall behind her is a leftover shelf board from her IKEA shelf abode XD I proped everything against my window for this test shoot, I RIKES.

SGDC2014 was tremendous fun! I did a lot better this year compared to the last 2 events, which is always A Good Thing (tm)!! ^_^ Thank you all so much for the constant support, I am extremely touched especially by my ardent friend and customer, CH :) She bought up nearly half of my new range of items hee hee :P *FLYING KISSES!!*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw so many familiar faces, and some new ones, but I will write a proper review and thank you post when I finish up some requests.....I would so hate to keep them waiting any longer! :( But meanwhile, I have opened up a new store at</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://snowfern.tictail.com/">http://snowfern.tictail.com</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Etsy has been good to me, and I will still list some items there, but the fees are exorbitant and I feel drained each time the bill comes...T-T And since most of the BJD customers are already following my Facebook and blog, why not sell my works independent of Etsy ey? :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some items were sold almost immediately upon posting as I update in real time on my Facebook page, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/SnowfernClover">http://www.facebook.com/SnowfernClover</a> , again, I cannot express how much I appreciate your support, my face is burning as I type...it is very very flattering and I'm grateful for these sales, it motivates me to work harder at coming up with more and different works!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those who are disappointed that some of the more popular items have sold, like the takoyaki sets...fret not, I will clear up my docket and hope to hold another pre-order similar to the ramen bowls, possibly in December 2014/January 2015! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Meanwhile, do visit my store over at snowfern.tictail.com! I worked so hard on taking the photos that I seem to have sprained my index/trigger finger XD XD XD haizzzz accident prone, I am T-T</div>

1:3 scale miniature chopsticks in paper sleeves. paper, inkscape, bamboo, sealant</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Many sets available! For individual sale at SGD$4, but only SGD$2 if purchased with any Japanese food sets ^_^ </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also spent a bit of time designing chopstick sleeves from scratch....my initial design was a fugly pink sakura themed one as I felt panicky and rushed to get a generic design out....luckily CH gave me pause to rethink the design. It so happens that we both share the same Chinese middle name, "Yan4", which means "Swallow" (the bird, not the verb heheh), and I had to give my brain a few seconds to recall how to write my name.....*hangs head in shame* In my defense, I hadn't written it in over 2 years......at least I think that's when I last practiced writing it?! *embarrassed* </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyhoo, she suggested I use it as inspiration for the design, and I whipped this out in maybe 10 minutes!!! That's got to be the shortest time I've ever spent on a new design bwa ha haaaaaa! *puffs up chest*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Chinese/Kanji characters mean "Swallow Sanctuary". The 2nd character, "Ting2" could also mean pavilion....or gazebo maybe? I thought it quite sweet :)))) The hiragana should read "tsubame", the Japanese word for Swallow. I hope I got everything right and not committed some faux pas. Out of all my BJD group of friends, I'm the least Japanese-savvy one!!! Heck, I can't even manage my own grasp of Mandarin and I'm =at least= 3/4 Chinese.....*derisive snort* </div>

<a href="http://www.asukasakumo.com/">Asuka</a> had made some beautiful waffles, and I had coincidentally left some to dry as I worked on the Japanese foods...and when she updated with photos I squealed in delight because </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1) WE ARE TELEPATHIC (hahah joke, joke, I don't believe in woo)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2) as proven many times over, it didn't matter if we made the same stuff, our styles are very different!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll talk about this topic (friend? competition? business partner? collaborator? Folie à deux?) another time as I've been asked a few times how it was that Asuka and I happen to work so well together....it's embarrassing watching us do events, we bicker like an old couple hahahhaha</div>

A closer look.....in case anyone was wondering, that's a Singapore 10-cent coin, which is approx 1.85cm diameter. I tried to make the butter look melted.....will try to take a better photo with the DSLR if I have time (or remember to....)</div>

Not for sale at the moment....only made these cos the waffles had been lying around in my UFO (unfinished objects) box for ages, and only needed the resin to complete it...and I knew I would have extra from making the 1:3 one......it also makes this post valid for this smaller scales blog hwa hwa hwa.</div>

My cousin D came over yesterday and helped me finish up the sushi boards, SHE IS A LIFE-SAVER!!!! XD So I'll spend tomorrow sorting out sushi sets....the shoyu dishes are also curing (first attempt was megafail, frustrating, but finally got it right) and will be available separately only with purchase of sushi sets :) I -might- sell some sushi a la carte, but it depends on whether I can figure it all out.....am so tired....and pricing is so difficult...and I can't figure out how to pack everything into the carry-on suitcase.....and my arm itches.......and my bed is covered with unfolded laundry.......and stocks cos I ran out of space to store them.......WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *whinessssss*</div>

So envious when they bring around their new dolls.....Oh ya, I don't think I have space to bring any of mine :( Maybe Yotsuba if I remember........she can sit in my pocket haw haw *manic laughter*</div>

I had been meaning to make these for the longest time, and decided to make a mold out of a master I made (which broke during the molding process T-T) You can see the mold at the back haha it's a messy job but whatever, it works! For these, I used a quick cure polyurethane resin, although it takes only less than 15 mins to set and be removed from the mold, the working time was only less than 2 mins. Which meant a lot of wastage. :-/ Ah well. I don't think I'll make much more of these, I did make an additional 4 sets in preparation for SGDC2014. So watch out for those :)</div>

My lovely customer had given me the time to work on the plates, and left the design up to me :) I was feeling a little more adventurous and came up with these 2. Used up the last of my gold leaf on the plate on the right....it looks better in real life, kind of difficult to capture the effect with my crappy photography skills.</div>

Hiya! September was a busy month and a number of things happened, one of which was an old injury flared up, which delayed this commissioned order. My dear customer was very patient and also gave me room to work on this in my own time, I really appreciate that as I really do not like to rush my work so I can produce my best work possible!</div>

These were the hardest to sculpt. The only molded part was the top of the shell, even so, it took a pretty long time to sculpt the detailed master. Each of the 40 legs/claws were individually sculpted as I could see no way to do it with a mold to give the kind of detail required. Also, working with polymer clay is really straining on my wrists and shoulders, so I had contemplated working with air dry clay for all my future projects, but I am not confident in sculpting with ADC :( Anyway, I like the results of these, Ahma is so happy at how realistic they look too, she had been coming in every day to my work space to ask me if they're done XD</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My initial reference photos provided by my customer depicted crabs with claws a little smaller than these, but as I often reference real life and many other photographs, it got stuck in my head that the claws could be a little larger and meatier....luckily my customer liked the size of them, but I would have re-done them if required as these were custom request items, and I aim to please!</div>

I quite enjoyed making these, more than expected, because they are free-form and freed me from having to obsess over uniformity. :D 3 of the oysters are removeable, and the rest permanently affixed so they won't slide all over the place.<br />

Meanwhile, here's the blender which KW Designs passed to me to fill with 'papaya milk ice blend' :) I decided to make the lid for the blender as well, since I had spare materials at hand, and hope he doesn't mind! (kept it as a surprise haha) Should be an interesting setup!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A special request came in early July, and my customer was interested in some finger foods, as well as unique fruits for her BJDs, and it was a pretty complicated order in the sense that I had to work on individual items, not batch, which is trickier in my opinion than batch orders.</div>

This set was fun to make because the inspiration photo was actually of felted petitfours XD So I was freed up to interpret it into realistic versions yay!</div>

1:3 miniature pointy grapes - airdryclay, acrylic paints, sealants</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
But I really enjoyed this commission because I was tasked to make some unique fruits, many of which I had never ever encountered! Better yet, it was sort of 'free form' work, meaning no molds, no necessity for uniformity so I could be more relaxed and concentrate on achieving a more realistic feel. Yes, the grapes are hanging on a vine so it'll be more natural looking when placed in any container!</div>

The sizes have been adjusted to her specifications and not accurately scaled, these were the trickiest to make and I jested with a friend that they were my 'red durians' XD I had been meaning to tackle 1:12 durians anyway so perhaps I'll try that when I continue with my 80s Singapore themed stuff. :)</div>

LOVED making these!!! It may not be evident here but they are actually slightly translucent too wakakaka! I've made one a little riper than the other two, and one with a little green. :) </div>

I'm still waiting on her reply but got a little excited about showing these, I might have to 'edit' some of them but hope she's happy with the results so far!</div>

...just like there are no bad photos, only lazy photographers (guilty) :X It is no coincidence that I always itch to play with dolls on weekends, my clay order hasn't arrived and so I decided to take a break from commission work and toy (hurhur) with the Canon again.<br />

The photos still need a lot of improvement, out of the 93, only 9 weren't over/under-exposed, grainy, etc. I still struggle with not moving the camera while pressing down on the button, but I can't afford a remote, so it's best to just keep practicing......<br />

I kept laughing to myself while adjusting her outfit and hair, she does look like a bored housewife doesn't she? Poor Saffron, upkeep is such a b*tch :P While taking at this angle, I kept wishing I had a nail polish or buffer set for her to play with!!<br />

The DSLR won this round. I am still struggling with the settings, and the macro clip-ons. I suppose the photos look good from far, but are far from good T-T They'll have to do for now because I am a little busy!<br />
<br />
The request was for 1:6 items, a rare request! They are double the size of the ones I made for a <a href="http://snowfern-clover.blogspot.sg/2014/06/you-are-cordially-invited.html">personal 80s Singapore project</a>. Quite a number of people have asked where I had obtained the images, all the graphics were made by me using inkscape, referencing photos I had found online.<br />

Yotsuba is 12cm tall, which makes her about 1:10 scale, so these are a tad large for her! They would be suitable for playscale dolls like Barbie. Pullip, Blythe etc, but I think my customer ordered them for possibly YoSD sized dolls? I really ought to put them with some Re-ment but eh, already packed them away hehehhe oops<br />

1:6 scale miniature seaweed rings, Spin potato snacks, air dry clay, acrylic paint, sealant, plastic</div>
<br />
These were the most time consuming to make, and there are 50 pcs in each package. The Spin crackers used to taste and look slightly different from these when I was younger, and had a flavour other than MSG :X I miss eating them! They also came in a cone, not packaged like this. As for how do I do my plastic packaging, let's just say, I still fail alot and so am not confident in revealing my methods :( But you can try and be creative with an iron, just be careful! :X<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the long-delayed event report for <a href="http://www.funananimematsuri.com/">FAM2014</a>! so late, that even <a href="http://www.asukasakumo.com/2014/06/funan-anime-matsuri-belated-report.html">Asuka beat me to it</a> XD It was a long and hectic weekend, one of the hardest events I've had to do ever, due to the duration - 2 days, 8hrs each, compared to the usual 4-6 hr doll events I've participated in over the past few years. As usual, I will break it down to the little nitty gritty stuff as per my <a href="http://snowfern-clover.blogspot.sg/2009/12/event-report-doll-affair-2009.html">past</a> <a href="http://snowfern-clover.blogspot.sg/2011/06/doll-affair-2011-roundup-and-fond.html">event</a> <a href="http://snowfern-clover.blogspot.sg/2013/11/event-report-sgdc-2013.html">reports</a> :) Or at least, from what I can recall....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
DAY 1</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3++am - couldn't get back to sleep after a watsapp message ding'd at 2.30. I had gone to bed at 1++am, honestly, wasn't too anxious about this event, alot less so than the past ones...but you know how the brain has a mind of its own.... So I decided to make a stand for the chocobananas! Took about 20 mins, and tried to get back to sleep. Alas, it eluded me till about 5am, some people noticed me trolling on my facebook page :P </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Had set the alarm for 7.30 but overslept, luckily my internal alarm woke me at 7.40, threw myself together and got my youngest bro to help me call for a cab as well as bring down my luggage for me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cab ride was interesting. The driver asked me what I was heading to Funan for at the early hour, and when I mentioned miniatures, he asked, "Any ponies or bears?" XD I thought that was a rather atypical response and asked why the specificity, he said his niece had requested he bring one back from his recent trip abroad! It was funny and nice, the conversation. Found out he had a 22 year old son, no daughters, hence his complete and utter lack of knowledge when it came to buying for 6 year old girls :) I suggested Metro or Toys 'r' us for my little pony toys, hope it helped! There was a small discussion about how I was an atheist/humanist, and then the driver went on to talk about his sister, and how he agrees that malicious gossip is one thing he cannot tolerate either. By the end of the ride, he paused to tell me that he was glad I admitted to be an atheist, and that he was a Buddhist, but we have very similar outlooks on life, and people. He helped get my luggage out of the cab, and just as I waved goodbye, he told me that he thinks I'm a very generous and kind person, and wished me the best for the day :) I was a little surprised at his comments (like, how would he know?!? I didn't tip him either... heheh) Set the right tone for the weekend :) :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Asuka had a pretty rough throat, thanks to the flu that I had -possibly- given her a week before (? oops!), so we settled for a quick 7-11 sammich breakkie, and drinks at Ya Kun. The whole shopping centre was stifling warm, airconditioning hadn't been turned on yet. So we discussed our anxieties, and goals (HAVE FUN!) for the weekend :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We faffed about, fanning each other and using up alot of tissues mopping up our perspiration while setting up. The only hiccup that occurred was that the table was not as described, we were promised a 1m x 1m table, but it turned out to be a smaller booth table of different dimensions (don't know what it was, didn't get to measure), which threw us off as we had prepared our layouts at home o.O I soon found that every other booth holder was struggling with modifying their table layouts too -_-"" Some had to even lay their items on the ground or suitcases (as we did). But we decided to just go with it the best we could! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
11am, 'official' event start-o! <a href="http://teamofdolls.livejournal.com/">Iwa</a> was my 2nd customer, thank you thank you!! She was also the 2nd to grab what was left of the Ramen/Udon bowls ;P They sold out by 1pm, thank you thank you all for supporting my craft! It had also started drizzling/raining, but we needn't have worried about that because...........</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WHIRR OF ACTIVITY</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was constant human traffic, SOOO many of you came down and told us that you'd come specially for our booth, just recalling that now makes me well up a little, ah I'm just a sappy old lady...kekeke. I really appreciate all of you who came down, for chats, catch-ups, hang out (doll-friends! <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/crystarlia/">CH</a>!!!), encouraging words...and the few of you who came down to tell me that I had been inspiring, enough that you have set up little businesses of your own....you're very welcome!! I started the same way, and I hope all of you strive to keep this craft alive, nay, GROW! And inspire future mini-makers yourselves!!! I also saw many customers from past doll events, thank you for being so supportive of Snowfern Clover these past few years :) Without you all, I would never have been able to continue crafting these mini treats :))))</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Things started winding down at about 6+, and by 7 Asuka and I started packing up. L dropped by to help me with the luggage, we had a quick dinner at a nearby foodcourt, L got me an almond milk drink to soothe my throat, Asuka stubbornly refused to try it (she hates almonds HAHA I'M TELLING THE WORLD ALL YOUR SECRETS), but I swear that stuff works! I was back to near-normal-or-what-passes-for-it-in-my-world by ......</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
DAY 2</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Play spot the difference? XD</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day started pretty normally, this time I woke up on time at 8am, we planned to meet a little later than before since we knew what to expect. Also, since it was Father's day, we didn't expect much of a crowd either. Rayner also helped me with the luggage again :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cab ride was not as interesting as the day before, but the uncle was nice too :) He too, asked what I was doing so early in the morning at Funan, and didn't quite grasp what it was that I was doing, but he wished me all the best and was super nice, helped me with the luggage out of the cab too :) Thank you all you cabby uncles and aunties!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day was more relaxing, and was more of a catch-up session with old friends who dropped by....I was looking forward to the short catch-up with my Jie, we had gotten to know each other during her Uni/my poly days playing MUD (Multi-User Dungeons/Dimensions, ha! That's nostalgia for ya!) and was so happy to see her and her hubby and kids...It was soooo nice to see you, must have been well over 10 years since we last had pasta together at Scotts....hee hee yes I still remember! Other people dropped by to chit-chat, but I must have been more dazed as I tried to recover from Saturday heheehe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After lunch, I ran around and bought quite a few items from one of my fave artists, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Chapteronetshirt">Preau Siripun</a>. I had been following his work on facebook for a while (check out his version of Cerberus, SUPER CUTE CAN), and was super surprised to see that he had a booth too! Bought a shirt for L, as well as a sketchbook and postcards! I also got a set of postcards from Asuka KEKEKE, she has a new series of original artwork printed, <a href="http://www.asukasakumo.com/2014/05/back-to-some-pen-and-watercolor-works.html">please check it out!</a>! ALSO got a plush toy for Rayner, from the <a href="http://daiyaku.com/lanjiao-the-game-instructions/">Daiyaku</a> booth. Singaporeans will better understand the 'inside joke' hehehe :X</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Packed up at 6+ , L dropped by again to help with the luggage (TANKEW!!~) and went to have a nice celebratory Japanese dinner at The Central with 3 other doll-friends. We were well and truly out of energy after that, and went back immediately after. Even the cab back was interesting, poor KW was accosted by the cab uncle who treated him as a handphone helpdesk XD XD so funny lor. XD</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We had done well over what we had set our goal for (to cover rent/cabfare), in fact, very honestly, my other personal goal was to earn enough for Eva's sterilization operation, and indeed she will be going for the procedure on 7th July :) So Eva thanks you all too!!!</div>

I apologize if I seemed dazed, or distracted, or rambled...I'm just not used to going out nor even talking to people, and you can imagine, the large crowds, noise, people....OVERWHELMED!!! I was really not prepared for the number of people who said soooo many nice things to me...that itself was a shock, I had no idea so many of you knew I existed hahaha =embarrassed= all this while I thought I was talking to myself in this blog....:S (I admit, when I surf blogs, if at all, I usually only look at peektures~~) As for workshops and tutorials....yes, yes, I have plans for those, but that will have to be held back for a while as I sort out my health/wedding/HDB plans :X Meanwhile, keep trying and learning! Practice is key! :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you for reading all my rambling~ I will be working on some new things, and taking care of a naughty little pooch, so please stay tuned for more updates!</div>

Ginger went out for a dollmeet yesterday ^_^ It was organized by <a href="http://fujiwarayukino.com/">Alvin</a>, with a goal of learning photography....quite a number of doll owners turned up! *waves to everyone!*<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">there were many many -many- more shots like these that I had to delete as they were too blurry or overexposed, general n00bness. Figuring out all the f-stop, aperture, etc stuff. Too technical even for me, but at least I know where all the bells and whistles are on the cam, which was the main thing to learn! Turns out they agreed that reading the manual was pretty useless after all...XD</span><br />

The only nice photo of Ginger in my camera, out of the 44 taken yesterday, was this one, and it wasn't taken by me XD XD XD I have so much to learn!!!!!!!! (I think this one was taken by Leon, who, with Casper, were very patient and clear in showing me how to use my camera! THANK YOU THANK YOU!! *bow bow*) I will practise hard!<br />

There was also an incredibly awesome lineup of dolls, which made me chuckle greatly, but since I was still struggling with the camera, none of the photos came out decent, save for these 3 -less- blurry ones (YEAH IKR) T_T Sorry Iwa, I tried T-T WILL PRACTISE(practice?

Side note: I went with 2 friends, <a href="http://www.asukasakumo.net/">Asuka</a> and <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/crystarlia/">Crystarlia</a>, and since we had loosely strung resin dolls, they couldn't stand very well and we feared for their safety :X We huddled in a little area 3 steps away from this setup. So it wasn't that we were anti-social, just that we didn't own DDs and didn't dare risk faceplants on our resins! </div>

They're also made by me, and after 3 failed attempts, a semi-passable pair~ I put together all sorts of random materials I had collected/lying around, yay upcycling~! Clover needs a pair too...but I'm supposed to list items on Etsy and I keep putting off photography cos....I really dislike it :(</span><br />

Modified a Daiso coin purse into a rabbit hat, and made a t-shirt pyjama for Clover. Scrump was a UFO catcher item that bf and a friend spent $12 on trying to catch it (was I think $2 per try XD XD XD). Mini bunny was knit from a free pattern ages ago, you can knit one for yourself here: </div>

I'm winding down from a hectic week, but finally made something for Clover that finally suits her. My friends have been chiding me for dressing her up in "auntie" clothes, in my defense, I had been recycling materials as she was more of an impulse purchase and I wasn't sure about my sewing skills as it had been at least a decade since I sewed anything when she arrived!!! Will try to sew a few more t-shirts for her (and my Unoa)!</div>

Meet Saffron :) This will be the obligatory box opening post XD I've actually reserved "saffron-tea.blogspot.com" but unless I give her some really crazy back story (which i do not have the imagination for) I doubt that blog will be updated XD</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is a Unoa Sist, Fresh Skin. Alchemic Labo, the company that produces her, used to only cater to the Japanese market, meaning they were pretty difficult to come by. I was reluctant to purchase a 2nd hand version, and so kept waiting for the chance that pre-orders for International orders would eventually be available.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I waited for close to 6 years! I first came across photos of Unoa Lusis back in mid 2008 when I was trying to make my own BJD and instantly fell in love with these dolls. My hopes started waning as year after year, no pre-orders were made available, and I missed the lottery in -I think- 2012.....but this year in January, a 2 week window was open for pre-orders!! The fiance (then-bf) had promised me one as soon as it became available, and since I did not ask for a birthday gift last year, it became my belated birthday gift!!! (yeah, I'm fussy when it comes to gifts as I don't have much space and am very particular with what enters my room :X) I quickly placed an order, and added 3 face plates so I could have some practice, as well as versatility :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And so.....on March 31st, Saffron arrived! This will be a lengthy and picture heavy post, so I'll divide it into 4 parts - Box Opening, Faceup, Sewing her first outfit, and Review.</div>

And best of all, even though it was stated that the eyes would be randomly assigned, I did add a note during checkout that I would prefer Blue/Gray eyes if at all possible....am not sure if it was a coincidence or really wonderful customer service, but I got the eyes I wanted!!! ^_^V</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are acrylic (I think) and have holes drilled for the eye mechanism. Will use them for Lusis!</div>

Ahma kept asking how big she was compared to Clover, and so I quickly threw on a dress I knitted which was too large for Clover to protect Saffron's modesty. Ahma couldn't help but fiddle with her heheheheheh. It was quite sweet watching her marvel at dolls...quite a contrast to when Clover first arrived (she had a hard time understanding why adults would still play with dolls hurhur)</div>

I coincidentally had 3 spare pairs of 12mm eyes which I had purchased for Clover, which were quickly put to use! The right most one is the Sist Decadent faceplate, I'm wondering if I can mod her into some cyborg type character....*taps chin*. Anyhow the 2 on the left are the Lusis Default and Wink faceplates. TOTES ADORBS. The doll also came with a faux fur (mohair?) white wig, which TBH I'm not too fond of, but maybe after some dyeing I can work it into something more appealing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Oh and she's in her large bust option (purchased separately) in this photo :) Clover is enough of a tomboy for them both!</div>

As I was going to wash and re-string Saffron, I thought that Clover needed a bath too. I had made the mistake of spraying her body with MSC even though I had little-to-no-intention of body blushing her....so all I did was wet sand the more visible and sharp flash lines.</div>

So.....since I had done Clover's faceup before, I decided to be braver with Saffron's makeup and go with bolder colours. Although I initially had no idea who the Unoa Sist would become, after a lengthy discussion with CH...I thought that Sist would either be Slutty or Demure. And then I viewed a video of a singer dressed like a Pin-up girl and her deep red lipstick captured my attention. Saffron would be a songstress with a happy, almost burlesque style :) But more sweet than slutty *cough* </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I won't go into detail about my process as I've already documented it here, when I did Clover's face up.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was my 2nd attempt at Saffron's face, the first one was so disastrous I had to clean it off, and re-start the whole process the following day. 4 hours down the drain (stayed up till 3am the first try) T-T But I'm glad I didn't settle for an inferior face-up...because I am totally loving her current look!</div>

I had come across this photo in my facebook photostream on a random day...and immediately knew this was how I was going to style her. I opted to go for a friendlier eyebrow shape and keep the red-head tone as she's Clover's sister after all. And at around the same time I had read that blue eyes + red hair is the rarest combination for redheads, so it all worked out great! The wig is an old one I made and as Clover's head is a little larger, I temporarily stuck doublesided tape to hold it down (NOT RECOMMENDED but eh I'm not selling her and I know how to handle tape residue :X) I'll be making a new wig specifically for her but I'm really partial to this combination now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eyes were the default that came with Clover, and I don't feel brave enough to drill holes in it, so they're held in place with blu-tack.</div>

More closeups of her faceup detail. Yeah, it's not perfect, but I'm improving I think. I used heavily-modified eyelashes from Daiso this time since her more dramatic look required more dramatic lashes :P </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've already had a number of comments about her lips, so I thought to add my process here for those interested:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- base layer of medium pink pastels</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- MSC</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Folk art Napthol Crimson, thinned and then drybrushed</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Shiny/glittery eyeshadow dabbed onto previous layer before fully dried. It was from a knockoff MAC eyeshadow palette (not recommended since it's not waterbased, but I figure she's already got MSC coats to protect and it's quite powdery like mica powder so I chanced it) on lower lip, centre area to act like lip-gloss</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Napthol Crimson, used thin liner brush to emphasize outline of lips and increase emphasis of lip-gloss area</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Napthol Crimson + dab of black, highlight mouth slit (?!) with liner brush</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Folkart Gloss Varnish</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to emphasize that this is not recommended if you're intending to do professional grade face-ups, but since I have no intention of selling my grail doll, I'm quite happy to experiment and in any case, these face plates are far more affordable and replaceable so I'm not too bothered.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was also careful to keep the line gentle, so that there's more of a subtle transition than a harsh red outline which happened on my first attempt. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As to the brushes, I used the same ones in the faceup for Clover.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the eyebrows, they were done differently than Clover's, I painted in the individual hairs...and although it was tempting to sand off the eyebrows in the sculpt, it actually served as a good guide and provides more dimension, so I left it in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time round, the only reference I used was the Bec Winnel artwork, so the whole process was much faster, though it did take about 3 hrs the 2nd time round.</div>

I had subscribed to a thread on DoA in which Silver Identity had kindly created a tutorial with measurements catered to a MiniFee. Thank You! (haha I don't think he/she reads my blog but yeah, I appreciate it!) I know that some of you have mentioned that it's difficult to get on DoA, and personally I've been having issues with accessing except on my mobile, so I can't fetch the link either...but there are soooo many infinity dress tutorials out there so just do a quick search on DoA or Google and you should be golden.<br />

I won't post the instructions here out of respect for the thread starter's hard work, but you can figure it out pretty easily from the online tutorials and adapt accordingly. I whipped this out in less than 1 hr.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The jersey knit material was a half-yard that I purchased at Chinatown early last year...I loved how thin it was and it draped beautifully, so I knew I could make a beautiful dress out of it....a no-brainer why I used it for this dress! I am quite busy, what with having to think about wedding preparations, flat stuff, commissions and a TOP SEKRET PROJEK (haha I'll reveal that in due time of course!) but I get teased quite a bit by <a href="http://www.asukasakumo.net/">Asuka</a> and the fiance for dressing Clover in "auntie" or "office lady" style clothes so it was IMPERATIVE that Saffron have something more suited to her! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
=============================================</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Review, and final thoughts</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
=============================================</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, I'm a super-biased reviewer since she's been my grail doll....that and I had many pleasant surprises like the detail in her hands (nails!), and how quickly she arrived after receiving notice of her tracking information. But there are a few things of note:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Positives</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- The fresh skin resin is very heavy and lovely....my doll did not have any apparent cracks, faults nor stains</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- eye colour that I wanted</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- came assembled</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- super easy to pose and stands very well</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- SHE'S FINALLY MINE</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- ALL MINE</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- MUAHAHAHA</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Mehs</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- The default Sist face plate does not sit well in the head mechanism, and I had to sand down some parts so it would 'catch' properly, and also reduce the risk of cracking the faceplate</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Some of the mould seams/flash lines were pretty sharp, and my guess is they probably gave it a cursory run down the seams with a penknife, but I knew I would wet sand it anyway so didn't bother me too much</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Elastic strings seem a little loose...but I plan to suede the joints so she'll hold poses a little better</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay! PHEW. I hope you enjoyed this post, please comment to let me know it was worth all my hard work!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(or you know, so I feel less stupid for 'talking' to myself...............)<br />
<br />
p.s. I named her after my favourite character in "Absolutely Fabulous". That, and as <a href="http://www.asukasakumo.net/">Asuka</a> pointed out, Clover-tea and Saffron-tea works perfectly together!</div>

Hiya BJD lovers! I've been busy over at <a href="http://snowfern-clover.blogspot.com/">http://snowfern-clover.blogspot.com</a> with a personal project, but have opened up commission slots again, here's the first few completed works :)<br />
<br />
My sweet and funny customer sent me some photos, and here are the results. She's ordered one of each, so I'll put up the extras in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/snowfern">Etsy store</a> after she gets first pick :) There are a few more items to her order which are drying, and then it'll be back to 1:12 again for a different order :))<br />
<br />
Some closeups!<br />

They're mostly made out of air dry clay and other mixed media. The rest of the order isn't as colourful, but I'm excited to work on more savoury food items ^_^<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking!<br />

So I was complaining about the yellow drink earlier? YEP. turns out I might have accidentally tainted the polyester dye with red maybe? Or that the yellow isn't as yellow as they claim T-T in any case, I tried different mediums to colour the epoxy resin and they didn't have the transparency I required for this request. SO. I will list these on my Etsy this week. Along with these pizza slices....</div>

A lovely customer contacted me to request some of my rose cupcakes in 1:3 but in 'butter' and not the original 'vanilla' cupcake base. I had previously made some in 1:6 which had sold in 2009. It is interesting to see big-small comparisons, and how much of a difference my work has progressed over the years. The 1:3 ones are also made out of polymer clay :)<br />

As a 'treat' to myself (and Clover) for working hard for SGDC2013, I decided to take some time out for a personal project....a swing set for Clover! Been meaning to make one for like, forever, but given the scarcity and cost of materials here in SG, I've put this project aside. Recently, Daiso has re-stocked quite a lot of different wood materials, and so....a night and a morning later.....Clover has a new toy! XD<br />

<b><u>FIRST OFF. NO TUTORIAL. NO PLANS.</u></b> If ever I do come up with some (if that is at all possible with my attention span), it would be a paid one anyway, cos it is a lot of work. THAT IS ALL.<br />
<br />
<i>/rantmode off</i><br />
<br />
I don't have a fixed way of doing stuff, seeing as how plenty of improvisation is necessary (mostly cos I mess up. A. LOT.), it all starts with a vague idea of what has to be done, vague measurements based on my favourite numbers, a cursory glance at google images, and powered by very little patience and a whole lot of tenacity.....it starts off.....<br />

like this. YUH USELESS CRAP. I CANNOT DRAW TO SAVE MY LIFE. laugh at my primary school long division method, but yes, i'm even too pre-occupied to reach for my phone-calculator. :(<br />
<br />
so. off to <a href="https://www.google.com.sg/search?q=foldable+swing&espv=210&es_sm=122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=SF2LUvDOJoKErQe-zoHoDQ&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1205&bih=938#es_sm=122&espv=210&q=foldable+swing+free+plans&tbm=isch">google</a>.....and .....nada.

So. Since I have no fancy-shmancy woodworking tools nor a laser cutter *whines* I decided to wing it and modify it as I made it up in my head.....<br />

so I fudged up the chair bit, totally forgot that I had mentally made an earlier modification to it and only a few mins after I glued down the final planks, did I remember. :( By that time, it was near impossible to rip off the support planks without damaging it, and so,<br />
<br />
<b>NOTE TO SELF: PLEASE REMEMBER TO REVERSE THE SUPPORT BEAMS KTHXBYE</b><br />
<br />
so it is a fixed-seat rather than a portable one SIGH. ANYWAY. if you don't understand what the above was about, no worries, cos this isn't meant to help anyone but myself HAWHAW *miserable groan*<br />

while searching for those screw type eyepins at a jewellery findings place at Peoples' Park Centre, these handy little clasps seemed like a nice find, for 1 buck, buy 1-get-1-free, WOOOTAGE. WHY THE HELL NOT EH! Chain from my earlier beadworking-jewellery making days. FINALLY they get put to good use.<br />
<br />
they're really fidgety and slippery though. takes quite a bit to work with. as for the loop holding up the seat, it's actually a headpin wedged between the two support beams.<br />

if you're wondering what angles I used for the support, the 2 base angles are at 70 deg. eh. my fave number is 7, go figure. the hardest part was getting the damned swing level. ON MY UN-LEVEL TABLE. which I'd forgotten was, unlevel, that is. things went much smoother after I set it on the floor :-/ =_=""""<br />
<br />
The whole contraption is about 40cm tall x 10inches x 28cm deep. I told you, I make do and make things up as I go along T-T Enforced every single glued section with pins. There's a technical term for this which evades me.....HALP!<br />
<br />
All in all, pretty pleased with it. Waiting for the glue to dry for 24 hrs before I give it a coupla coats of wood varnish :)<br />
<br />

(please excuse the manic tone, back from my weekly swim and the MONSTER MUNCHIES IS DRIVING ME NUTS) HORMONES RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR<br />
<br />
p.s. OH YA only suffered 1 injury, forgot my thumb isn't impervious to pins.....lanced it and stupid thing took ages to stop bleeding, so I spent a number of minutes with my arm above my head this morning GYAAAA.<br />

The event was a success! First of all, big big thanks to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EccentricRomanceBJD">Arion</a> and Adit for organizing the first Singapore Doll Carnival 2013 (SGDC2013)! <a href="http://www.asukasakumo.net/">Asuka</a> was so much calmer than I was...somehow even with my brother Rayner's help, my hands were shaking all the while setting up the booth and sales display o.O <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crystarlia/">Crystarlia</a> even brought her crew down as helpers (I imagine them to be mini barkers XD) and phwoaar, she's one mean salesperson XD XD XD<br />
<br />
So as you can see, the above is what Asuka and I had been working on, our first proper collaboration ^.^ she did <b>all</b> of the <b><a href="http://www.asukasakumo.com/2013/10/clover-rock-candy-carnival.html">original illustrations</a></b> and turned the characters into SUPER ADORABLE 'iced cookies' I executed the ferris wheel framework and other odds and ends to 'complete' the booth. she's so talented, i'm always enthralled by her artwork!<br />

so like, i was going to take pics of our booth but before I got round to Asuka's setup I got distracted (OMG ATTENTION SPAN OF A GNAT) and didn't even manage to take a pic of my full setup!!! this was taken I think either midway or towards the end (prob midway, judging from the number of hot drinks remaining...)<br />
<br />
as per my previous <a href="http://snowfern-clover.blogspot.sg/2009/12/event-report-doll-affair-2009.html">booth</a> <a href="http://snowfern-clover.blogspot.sg/2011/06/tda-recap-now-that-im-little-more.html">experiences</a>, here's a blow-by-blow account of what my mind has chosen to retain huhuhu.<br />
<br />
- woken up by Asuka at 7.23am to meet for breakfast.<br />
- arrived just shy of 9am at *scape<br />
- felt the first flutter of nerves while queueing for food. Ray quipped "it's just hunger" and I was immediately calmed XD GOOD TACTIC<br />
- it had rained pretty heavily earlier in the morning and was still drizzling as we made our way to the event hall. poor vendors on the ground floor :(<br />
- arrived at the hall at 9.30-ish to discover Adit pacing around a little frazzled by the empty hall. tables and chairs were due to arrive at 9.30, but there was some miscommunication between the management and tables/chairs co. (huh) so we plonked down on the floor at our designated area, and got DOWN TO BIZNESS<br />
- had a fun time bantering with some friends who coincidentally (or not?) had a booth next to ours, though separated by a pillar. we jested that it would have been alright to sell on the floor, flea-market style XD XD<br />
- furniture arrived around 10! yay! Event opening delayed till 12. unyay :( but it didn't matter, cos as per previous event experiences, most of the sales would be within at timespan of 2 hrs anyway XD<br />
- BLUR BLUR BLUR BLUR BLUR BLUR BLUR<br />
- 2+3ish? hungry. lunchtime! Ray helped us get macD ebi burger meals (YUM!) but I'd forgotten to ask if food was allowed in the hall XD we took turns to eat on the ground outside the hall HHEHEH<br />
- traffic wound down a little after lunch, but i was still in a daze for most of the down-time, and shoulder started acting up again, so Asuka gave me massages woooooo KEKEKKEKE caught up with friends and....overall still general blur.<br />

<br />
the rest of the week will be spent recuperating and cleaning up my room, listing 'leftovers' on my Etsy, and getting ready to move on to newer projects. As for commission slots, I had promised that I would re-open them to selected projects, but apologize beforehand that there might be a long wait, and hope for your kind understanding and patience as I sort out stuff. Meanwhile there are a number of emails and convos to reply to, will do so ASAP :)<br />
