Nice weather is here again so I’ve been working on a batch of faceups from my wishlist. The first to end up completed is Maria Ushiromiya, an older MDD who’s been hanging out behind the scenes for a while. After some cleanup (her eyeholes were pretty roughly cut) she’s got a fresh new look! …
~ Sewing Cute Bunnies for Easter ~ During the last few cold weeks of winter, I got an itch to sew a cute MDD-sized set. The inspiration was this chocolate sprinkle fabric I picked up a while ago- there wasn’t enough to do something big or risky, but it could work as a cute…

As usual these have mostly appeared already on Instagram, and will eventually make their way to the local gallery as well.

Right now it only features the options for head sculpts and faceups, but I plan to continue adding more information in the future. I hope it’s helpful! And if you have some photos…
Winter faceups are living dangerously. I learned my lesson a few years ago, when I did a series of faceups in December and January that later developed cracking in the sealant.
