Reflecting back on the year, I was able to complete a lot of faceups I’m proud of. Originally I was hoping to do a few more, but the summer weather was unusually pleasant and I couldn’t bear to stay cooped up inside painting. Since we had a few years in a row with unbearable heatwaves…
Another subject from my recent round of faceups gets the spotlight this time. Rin is also a doll that I pre-ordered ages ago, and I finally figured out how I wanted to customize her. She’s an autumn-inspired kitsune, wearing a Volks outfit with a mystery second-hand wig, her eyes and fluffy ears are self crafted.…
It’s been a minute since I started my summer batch of faceups, but I finally finished a few more. First up is DD Anastasia – she’s been with me since the original pre-order, and I decided it was time she got a fresh new look. I gave her a bit of a snarky expression –…
~ Faceup season is in full swing! ~ Next up in my faceup backlog is DD Uzuki (first version). I picked up her head on a whim a while back but hadn’t really had a clear plan for it. But it’s finally time for Uzuki refresh! I decided I’d try for a mischievous look, and…

So if you dig around in the Sewing Patterns section you’ll see that I’ve designed a few free sewing patterns for DD and MDD. Maybe you’ve already tried those patterns and now you need a challenge or a different style? Dear reader, you’re in luck because I’ve compiled a list of excellent DD sewing resources…
Once again, I’ve welcomed a floating head into my collection. I’ve had my eye on Ribbon for a while, but didn’t really want another DDP body and figured it’d be difficult to rehome. I was hoping that repainting my SQ Lab Miyuki would scratch the itch, but then when I saw a second-hand Ribbon head…
The next subject from this round of faceups is 2B, of Nier Automata fame. Her default faceup isn’t bad but the two-toned matte lips were starting to bug me and I thought she had potential to get revamped into something a bit more special. 2B before and after It’s tricky finding the right…
